OVERVIEW
Perimeter fencing for a national distribution centre
As part of the development of a new national distribution centre, IAE Fencing Division supplied it’s Zebex fencing system to secure the perimeter and internal areas of the site.
2000m of Fencing
The supply included over 2000m of fencing, which enclosed areas containing the main distribution warehouse, company office, staff car park, and company vehicle maintenance yard.
Safety & Security
Perimeter fencing is included to prevent accidental ingress and deter malicious intruders.
The site has the potential to be very dangerous, as there are lots of heavy good vehicles and forklifts moving around.
The perimeter fence provides a significant boundary, preventing members of the public from accidentally entering the site, and channelling site visitor to designated access points. This is important as the site owners are liable for the safety of anyone on the site, and one of the most effective ways to protect people is to make sure they can’t access potentially dangerous areas to being with.
The fence also provides a significant obstacle, acting as a deterrent to more malicious intruders such as thieves and vandals and reducing the likelihood of costs associated with theft and damage.
Flexible System
IAE’s Zebex is a flexible system that can be adapted on site to most ground conditions.
The distribution centre included many areas of uneven ground with extended sections of the site boundary including substantial inclines.
The Zebex system was simply stepped using the pre-drilled holes in the posts to account for the undulating ground.
Zebex Site Gates
To complete the perimeter around the site IAE supplied several gates clad with Zebex mesh panels for a consistent look with the rest of the perimeter, including pedestrian access and main goods vehicle entry points.
