What is the minimum height requirement for fencing at CNG installations?

The minimum height requirement for fencing at CNG installations is established to enhance safety and security. A height of 6 feet is generally sufficient to deter unauthorized access and help protect the facility from potential tampering or vandalism. This standard reflects considerations for both safety and regulatory compliance within the industry, recognizing that such installations handle materials that require careful management.

While shorter fences may be inadequate in providing the necessary security, a fence lower than 6 feet might not effectively prevent entry into the area. Also, a height over this standard, such as 8 feet, while more secure, could be unnecessarily restrictive and may not offer significant additional benefits for most CNG facilities, potentially leading to increased costs without proportional security improvement. Therefore, the adoption of a 6-foot minimum height is a well-balanced approach to facility security.
