Integrated Fencing Delivers Safety and Security

Since its founding in 2020 the Welsh company has surpassed its initial targets, exceeding an annual turnover of £6 million and now employs a team of over 40 staff.

Integrated Fencing delivers bespoke fencing solutions to a range of commercial and public sector clients such as the NHS, MOD, MOJ, Asda, Tesco, Microsoft and many more.

However, a significant part of their portfolio is providing secure perimeter and security fencing solutions for schools and educational institutions. Recent projects include Penygawsi school, Haverfordwest High school, Cefn Saeson and Tirdeunaw school, and most recently Whiteheads primary school in Newport.

School safety

Each project is tailored to the specific needs of the school and site, recognising that a well-designed perimeter boundary not only safeguards pupils and staff from unauthorised visitors, it ensures children can’t leave unsupervised. The right fencing can also deter criminal activity such as vandalism, theft and discourage intruders.

Integrated Fencing services include:
•    Perimeter fencing options including anti climb mesh
•    Acoustic Fencing
•    Automated gates, turnstiles and barrier systems to manage pedestrian and vehicle access
•    Keycard and intercom entry systems
•    Scheduled locking mechanisms

Hazel Goss, SBD Development Officer, said, “I am lucky to work with Integrated Fencing. Not only do they offer a wide range of products, but they also take the time to listen and understand the problems of installing the wrong kind of fencing and the knock-on effects this can have on sites. They regularly work with their local Designing Out Crime Officers to offer solutions to problems with new designs or advice with their years of experience in this field”.

Construction Director, Hywel Davies commented, “With the government’s focus on rebuilding and refurbishing schools, it’s essential that these projects are completed efficiently to provide safe and modern learning environments for students. It’s also crucial that schools implement robust security measures during construction phases to prevent theft and vandalism, ensuring minimal disruption to the learning process when building during school term time.”

Secured by Design (SBD) is owned by the UK Police Service with the specific aim of reducing crime and increasing safety for businesses and individuals.

SBD seeks to improve the physical security of buildings and the surrounding area using products such as doors, windows, locks and walling systems along with fencing systems that meet the SBD Police Preferred Specification security requirements.

SBD is the only way for companies to obtain police recognition for security-related products in the UK, through the Police Preferred Specification - a product-based accreditation scheme developed 25 years ago, which provides a recognised standard for all security products that effectively deter and reduce crime. SBD work with manufacturers and standards authorities to ensure that security standards are current and updated to keep pace with emerging crime trends.
