The Brief: A client of ours in Eastbourne asked us to secure an old pumping stations that was derelict. They wanted a fast installation and in particular they wanted to prevent trespassers from scaling any barriers as the site is potentially hazardous.   The Solution: As the site is reasonably small, timber hoarding was good solution as it can be easily cut to size, it can be erected quickly and it also does not offer any footholds, thus making climbing difficult…

As these essential tasks take place within a limited proximity to workers, pedestrians and visitors, the clients required a robust barrier system which would not only offer the maximum…

The Brief: One of our most regular customers is managing a site in Waltham Cross, East London, which is due to be vacant for over a year. They didn’t however want the site to look vacant as this can attract trespassers, vandals and thieves. They wanted the site securing, but for a cost equivalent to using timber site hoarding.
