Barkers Fencing

This presentation will offer practical and impartial advice which will help delegate to incorporate the most appropriate fencing and entrance security equipment for different site conditions and requirements. This presentation is ideal for those specifying fencing and entrance security for commercial or CNI sites. By the end of the CPD you should have a greater understanding of:
- How to approach Perimeter Security Specification
- Mitigating the threats and the security standard available
- Consideration for a smooth installation and on-going operation
- Safety Regulations around automatic entrance products
- The solutions available and the problems they solve

This CPD explores the fundamental principles of physical security which, guide designers, consultants and end users on ensuring that a security scheme is operationally and aesthetically appropriate and fit for purpose. The well understood phrase – ‘Doing Something is Better Than Nothing’ can be dangerous if not understood correctly; this CPD will place the principles in context and enable designers and end-users to be empowered to take some control over security decisions within the sites and schemes they create. By the end of the presentation you should have a greater understanding of:
- The history of hostile vehicle mitigation attacks and how the industry has developed.
- The importance of product positioning and stand-off to mitigate and reduce the impact of a potential vehicular attack
- The realistic and current physical security threats that exist to people and CNI and the measures that can be used to protect them
- The 'gap' - the delay between the identification of a vulnerability or threat and the implementation of mitigation
- Which certification standards to look for and understanding how these might be displayed
- The steps which need to be taken when delivering a proportionate and effective, physical security scheme

Local Authorities, Highways England and the Rail Industry (Network Rail, TFL) have a duty to mitigate the risk of vehicles accidentally getting on to live tracks. This is known within the industry as Road Vehicle Incursion (RVI). The Department for Transport issued a report following an accident in 2001 outlining what would be required to help prevent this and now many schemes are been developed. This CPD looks at products considered suitable to mitigate RVI with the added benefit of maintaining a physical trespass boundary. It will help you to understand the following topics:
- Fencing specification and standards for products used on the rail infrastructure
- The requirements for RVI design
- Fencing product development from high security to RVI
- Environmental considerations
