Introduction
Specifying high-security perimeters is not always straightforward work. Architects and engineers face challenges that go beyond material selection; things such as compliance, ground conditions, and aesthetics can all impact project success just as intensely.
By understanding all of these obstacles, specifiers can make informed decisions and ensure security systems meet both functional and regulatory requirements.
Ensuring Certified Performance
High-security systems must comply with rigorous third-party standards like LPS 1175 and PAS 68/IWA 14-1.
Even small installation errors, such as incorrect post spacing or insufficient foundation depth, can compromise the certifications! This makes it extremely difficult to ensure that all aspects of the project run smoothly.
This can be easily addressed through consultative security engineering. Options such asa Design & Technical team that evaluates threats, site conditions, and compliance requirements to engineer exact, site-specific solutions.
This not only reduces guesswork and ensures that the final installation meets certified standards, but saves an exponential amount of time and money.
Ground Condition Challenges and Innovative Solutions
Traditional fencing and HVM barriers often rely on deep concrete foundations, which can be problematic on sensitive sites, brownfields, or temporary installations. Such requirements increase cost, extend timelines, and create logistical headaches.
FenceSafe on-ground systems provide a clever solution. They deliver LPS-rated security without permanent foundations, minimizing site disruption and enabling rapid deployment. Projects benefit from certified protection while avoiding invasive construction work.
Balancing Security and Aesthetics
Specifiers frequently encounter tension between functional security and public-facing aesthetics. Harsh, institutional designs may comply with standards but detract from the visual appeal of a site.
CLD addresses this with options like high-security mesh fencing, anti-climb fences, and other security fences. As well as customizable finishes that provide maximum security without compromising design goals.
This blend of functionality and appearance ensures that secure sites can remain welcoming and visually integrated with their surroundings.
Conclusion
By engaging early with expert technical teams and leveraging innovative, foundation-free solutions like FenceSafe, specifiers can significantly reduce risk, avoid costly delays, and deliver systems that meet both regulatory and operational demands.
With the right guidance and technologies, creating secure, compliant, and visually appealing environments becomes not only achievable but streamlined and efficient.
