Crime & Fire and Zaun help secure British gas distribution

Crime & Fire and Zaun help secure British gas distribution

18th April 2017 by Lisa Bainbridge

One of the UK’s largest gas distributors has appointed a turnkey security systems integrator and their security fencing supplier to a framework agreement.

Crime & Fire Defence Systems and Zaun are celebrating completion of the first 15 sites throughout the country at strategically important locations.

The gas distributor has saved hundreds of thousands of pounds with the new agreement, as well as yielding the benefits of dedicated account management, certified and experienced perimeter protection designers, engineers and technicians, access to new and innovative products and robust management reporting linked to an exacting service level agreement.

Crime & Fire has worked with the gas distributor for many years to develop the turnkey security solution across the network. It includes the integration of on-site physical security, access control, CCTV cameras, electronics, reporting systems and networks that enable remote monitoring from a central control station.

The perimeter of the site consists of PSSA member Zaun’s ArmaWeave fencing, either buried into a concrete cill or a pea-shingle base for smaller sites. Electric fencing is also incorporated into the fencing system along with bespoke Zaun high security gates and locking, all installed by Crime & Fire.

Crime & Fire MD and founder Chris Laughton said:

“The opportunities in gas distribution and across the utilities sector are immense as the need to protect our critical national infrastructure becomes ever more important.”

ArmaWeave achieves the highest rated standards for fencing products defending against forcible attack and can be combined with other intruder systems, electronics and access control to create the optimum integrated fencing solution. Its unique properties add substantial resistance to cutting attacks with hand, powered and non-contact tools. The tight mesh pattern provides no climbing aids, again limiting the potential for intrusion.

The mesh pattern allows the fence to be raked, limiting the need for stepping panels across undulations in ground levels. The mesh still conforms to the high standard but reduces installation costs significantly compared with standard welded mesh systems.
