Construction
Active construction sites combine open perimeters, public proximity, heavy machinery and valuable materials — with the protected zone changing as the build progresses.
Common Operational Risks
- Unauthorised access outside working hours
- Theft of materials, tools and equipment
- Public safety along site boundaries
- Uncontrolled movement between work zones
Typical Protected Zones
- Site perimeter
- Entrances and gates
- Material storage
- Machinery zones
- Pedestrian routes
Example Configuration
Mobile fence panels around the full site boundary, a controlled main entrance, internal barriers separating pedestrian routes from machinery, and fenced material-storage zones — reconfigured as the build phases advance.

Roads and Infrastructure
Roadworks and infrastructure projects operate inside live traffic environments, where the work zone must be clearly separated from vehicles and pedestrians.
Common Operational Risks
- Vehicle intrusion into work zones
- Pedestrians entering active roadworks
- Poor visibility of temporary layouts
- Frequent reconfiguration as works progress
Typical Protected Zones
- Work zones
- Traffic separation lines
- Pedestrian diversions
- Equipment staging areas
Recommended Solutions
Example Configuration
Modular road barriers separating live traffic from the work zone, pedestrian barriers guiding foot traffic around the works, and high-visibility fencing closing the equipment staging area.

Industry and Manufacturing
Industrial facilities manage risk inside the building as much as at the boundary — separating people from machinery and defining maintenance and exclusion zones.
Common Operational Risks
- Pedestrian and vehicle conflict inside facilities
- Access to running machinery
- Uncontrolled entry to maintenance areas
- Perimeter intrusion after hours
Typical Protected Zones
- Facility perimeter
- Production lines
- Machinery exclusion zones
- Internal traffic routes
Recommended Solutions
Example Configuration
Permanent perimeter fencing with anti-climb extensions, internal barrier lines separating forklift routes from walkways, and equipment cages around high-risk machinery.

Logistics and Warehousing
Logistics compounds hold high-value goods in large open yards with constant vehicle movement — demanding a strong perimeter and controlled gates.
Common Operational Risks
- Theft from yards and loading areas
- Unauthorised vehicle access
- Perimeter climbing and cutting
- Mixing of visitor and operational traffic
Typical Protected Zones
- Compound perimeter
- Gates and weighbridges
- Loading bays
- High-value storage areas
Recommended Solutions
Example Configuration
Reinforced perimeter fencing with fence-top protection, controlled vehicle gates at the main entrance, and separately fenced high-value storage zones inside the compound.

Energy and Utilities
Substations, plants and utility sites are often remote, unmanned and critical — requiring layered perimeter protection and strictly controlled access.
Common Operational Risks
- Intrusion at unmanned sites
- Theft of cabling and equipment
- Safety risk to intruders from live installations
- Regulatory requirements for restricted zones
Typical Protected Zones
- Site perimeter
- Substation enclosures
- Access gates
- Equipment compounds
Example Configuration
High-security perimeter with anti-climb reinforcement around the full site, concertina protection on vulnerable sections, and controlled single-point access for maintenance crews.

Airports and Ports
Airside and port zones combine large perimeters, strict access regimes and continuous operations that cannot be interrupted by security works.
Common Operational Risks
- Large perimeters with remote sections
- Strict controlled-access requirements
- Mixed cargo, vehicle and personnel flows
- Low-altitude intrusion over sensitive areas
Typical Protected Zones
- Outer perimeter
- Airside / restricted zones
- Cargo areas
- Access checkpoints
Recommended Solutions
Example Configuration
Sectioned high-security perimeter with reinforced fencing, controlled checkpoints between zones, and project-specific overhead protection concepts for selected sensitive areas.

Public Sector
Municipalities and public authorities secure works, spaces and facilities where public safety, accessibility and clear layouts are the priority.
Common Operational Risks
- Public access to municipal works
- Crowd pressure at public events
- Vandalism at public facilities
- Procurement and compliance requirements
Typical Protected Zones
- Public works sites
- Event perimeters
- Municipal facilities
- Pedestrian corridors
Recommended Solutions
Example Configuration
Temporary fencing around municipal works with pedestrian barriers maintaining safe walking routes, and crowd-control corridors deployed for public events.

Events and Crowd Management
Events create dense, temporary zones where crowd flow, access control and rapid build-up and removal define the system.
Common Operational Risks
- Uncontrolled crowd movement
- Unauthorised access to restricted areas
- Short deployment windows
- Emergency egress requirements
Typical Protected Zones
- Event perimeter
- Entry corridors
- Backstage / restricted areas
- Emergency routes
Recommended Solutions
Example Configuration
Full event perimeter in mobile fencing, barrier-guided entry corridors with controlled gates, and separately fenced backstage and technical zones — installed and removed within the event window.

Critical Infrastructure
Sites classified as critical infrastructure require layered, documented protection — perimeter definition, access management, reinforcement and asset-level shielding.
Common Operational Risks
- Targeted intrusion attempts
- Regulatory protection requirements
- Low-altitude drone intrusion
- Single points of failure at access points
Typical Protected Zones
- Outer and inner perimeters
- Access checkpoints
- Asset enclosures
- Observation corridors
Example Configuration
Layered system: reinforced outer perimeter, anti-climb inner fence around core assets, controlled checkpoints between layers, and an overhead protective concept for the most sensitive asset.

Telecommunications
Telecom infrastructure is distributed across many small, remote, unmanned sites — each needing compact, robust and low-maintenance protection.
Common Operational Risks
- Theft of cabling and batteries
- Vandalism at remote sites
- Climbing access to masts
- Many sites, few inspections
Typical Protected Zones
- Mast compounds
- Equipment shelters
- Cable routes
- Rooftop installations
Recommended Solutions
Example Configuration
Compact high-security enclosures around mast compounds with anti-climb reinforcement, standardised across the site portfolio for consistent procurement and maintenance.

Property Development
Development sites move through phases — demolition, construction, fit-out — and the protection system must follow, from hoarding to permanent perimeter.
Common Operational Risks
- Long project timelines with changing risks
- Public interface in urban locations
- Theft during fit-out phases
- Transition from temporary to permanent protection
Typical Protected Zones
- Site hoarding line
- Phase boundaries
- Show-unit areas
- Final estate perimeter
Recommended Solutions
Example Configuration
Temporary perimeter through demolition and construction, reconfigured per phase, then replaced by the permanent estate fencing and controlled entrances at handover.

Security and Defence Contractors
Contractors serving the defence and security sector require lawful protective infrastructure for controlled-access areas — supplied with documentation and to specification.

- Strict specification and documentation requirements
- Restricted-zone compliance
- High consequence of perimeter failure
- Project confidentiality
Typical Protected Zones
- Restricted compounds
- Controlled-access areas
- Storage enclosures
