SEVERN TRENT NSPA

Summary

Binns were awarded the replacement of the perimeter fence package at a Severn Trent Site in the United Kingdom. The site was subject to anti-social behaviour and therefore a design was produced in consultation with Severn Trent Water security team to secure the site with the addition of our own anti climb system – Flexible Security Topping (FST®) – to increase protection against climb over attack.

In addition, there were multiple challenges and key areas of site where unauthorised access was a problem and increased protection was required.

The site conditions and gradients posed challenges in maintaining the effective height of the fence whilst also avoiding any large steps and the design was produced across the site prior to commencing any works to ensure this would be achieved. This included completing a full level survey and mapping out of the site ahead of commencing works.

The planning phase of the works was particularly important to ensure there was minimal impact on the site operation. Part of the project includes the replacement of the automated access gate to site. This needed to be replaced and changed over without impacting the access route to site whilst also maintaining the secure perimeter due to anti-social behaviour.

As a standalone project we acted as principal contractor (PC) and ensured that the project was completed in line with all H&S legislation and CDM requirements.
