Perimeter Protection

Perimeter Protection Overview

Your sites' defence starts at the fenceline. The more secure this is, the lower the chances of theft and vandalism, as a robust defence will deter most criminals and make it significantly harder for those who do attempt to break in.

Perimeter security is an important deterrent and combines physical gates, fences and barriers. These are supported by intelligent platforms that alert to unusual or suspicious behaviour to allow swift and decisive action.

Our Perimeter Protection Capabilities

Physical Security | Tailored physical security plans which secure your site from unauthorized access

As the first line of defense for your site, the importance of physical security in preventing intrusion cannot be understated. Protective measures may include:

Your site itself - the gates, fences, windows, walls, and doors.
Additional deterrents such as barbed wire and warning signage.
Manned presence of patrolling or mobile guards.

Perimeter Detection | Visible deterrents to potential intruders which keep a constant watch on your perimeter

We offer a range of perimeter detection systems. Our solutions include:

Barrier-mounted systems deployed on or in conjunction with a fence or other physical barrier (e.g. microphonic cable).
Ground-based solutions deployed below ground (e.g. pressure sensitive cables), which do not require a physical barrier.
Free-standing systems deployed above ground that do not need to be installed on or in conjunction with a physical barrier (e.g. bistatic microwave links).
Rapidly deployable systems that are designed for temporary deployment, such as to protect a mobile asset. These are often battery powered and transmit their alarms wirelessly.

Fenceline Hardening | Perimeter hardening technologies designed to enhance your site protection

Having an effective perimeter detection system may not be enough. Especially those with long fencelines or in remote areas, where intruders feel safe from detection. In these situations, the fenceline needs to be hardened to work as an effective deterrent. This could include:

Physical enhancements such as trenches, anti-climb fencing, crash barriers, lighting, etc.
CCTV in combination with analytics, which can identify suspicious activity and send alerts.
Perimeter hardening technologies using video analytics and 2-way audio with trespassers.

Mechanical Security | Make sure your fences, turnstiles, and doors are built to the highest specification

Who better to provide the mechanical security than those responsible for the security provision itself? We offer:

A pool of vendors supplying fences, turnstiles, doors, and more to provide an important first level of defence.
Work with the G4S design team, who have years of experience in providing the most appropriate mechanical element for your location and application.
