As part of a major UK energy infrastructure programme, a new gas power plant required a perimeter security solution that offered both high-level protection and tailored flexibility across different areas of the site. Critical zones demanded fencing with maximum resistance to attack, while other areas required lower-security but strong visual deterrents.
The specification required:
- Two LPCB-rated fencing systems: SR2/B3 and SR1/A1
- Full compliance with British Standards
- Guaranteed product quality and long-term performance
- Rapid procurement and manufacturing, with tight lead times for SR2 fencing
- A supplier capable of phased delivery and close coordination with the contractor to avoid programme disruption
Given the scale and sensitivity of the project, timely and defect-free delivery was essential.
The Solution
Alexandra Security was selected to supply and support the installation of the full perimeter package, which included:
- Over 2,500 metres of fencing, comprising a mix of high-security mesh systems and steel palisade fencing tailored to specific zones
- Security Mesh and Steel Palisade Gates in multiple configurations, manufactured in-house at our UK facilities
All products underwent detailed quality inspections to ensure full compliance and defect-free performance prior to dispatch.
To meet the programme’s requirements, we implemented just-in-time staggered deliveries direct to site, supported with offloading. Our logistics team worked in alignment with the contractor’s installation schedule, ensuring rapid site progress without unnecessary storage or delay. Throughout, we maintained close communication with the client, adapting delivery schedules where required to ensure every milestone was achieved.
The Benefits
By appointing Alexandra Security, the contractor was able to:
- Achieve verified compliance with LPCB SR2/B3, SR1/A1, and British Standards
- Benefit from a 15-year product guarantee for long-term assurance
- Meet tight lead times without programme disruption
- Utilise a combination of mesh and palisade systems, tailored to specific site security requirements
- Protect their reputation by working with a supplier who delivered reliably, on time, and without compromise
