HS2 is one of the UK’s most ambitious infrastructure projects, creating a new high-speed rail line between London and Birmingham. For the Phase 1 works in Aylesbury, the main contractor required a security fencing solution that delivered long-term protection for trackside areas while meeting strict safety and compliance standards.
The fencing specification needed to be:
- Anti-climb to prevent unauthorised access
- Fully compliant with British Standards
- Guaranteed for long-term performance
- Supported by a reliable supply chain able to deliver on time to a complex, multi-phase programme
With thousands of metres of fencing required, the contractor needed a partner capable of ensuring both product quality and delivery reliability.
The Solution
Alexandra Security was appointed to design, supply, and support the installation of a complete fencing and gate package. Our scope included:
- Over 2,000 metres of Protek 1000 Mesh Security Fencing
- 40 Security Mesh Gates in multiple configurations, manufactured at our UK facility
Each product underwent thorough quality checks before dispatch to ensure defect-free, British Standard-compliant components suitable for the project requirements.
To support smooth site operations, we implemented a just-in-time delivery schedule with phased drop-offs direct to the Aylesbury works. Deliveries were coordinated with offloading support to assist the subcontractor’s installation process. Throughout, our team maintained ongoing communication with the contractor, adapting schedules where necessary to ensure the programme remained on track.
The Benefits
By appointing Alexandra Security, the contractor achieved:
- Verified compliance with British Standards for trackside security
- Certified anti-climb protection for high-risk locations
- Long-term product performance with a 15-year guarantee
- Reduced programme risk through coordinated, just-in-time delivery
- Assurance of large-scale supply capability with consistent reliability
The HS2 Phase 1 Aylesbury works highlight Alexandra Security’s capability to deliver large-scale, British Standard-compliant fencing and access solutions under complex programme requirements. The project demonstrates proven expertise in supporting contractors with manufacturing quality, supply chain reliability, and technical coordination on nationally significant infrastructure schemes.
