An operational Thames Water site in east London has had its security upgraded with no downtime. Two compounds at Walthamstow Reservoir have been fitted with security fencing from Thames Water perimeter protection partner Zaun.
The fencing firm reports that it has supplied its most intruder-resistant product around the main compound. ArmaWeave’s properties add resistance to cutting attacks with hand, powered and non-contact tools, the makers say. The tight mesh pattern provides no climbing aids, again limiting the potential for intrusion, according to the company. Zaun Group installer Binns Fencing had to hand-dig around a mass of cables and conduits and invent a novel way of cladding the back of the palisade fencing on the smaller compound with its HiSec mesh.
