Zaun gates secure LPCB security ratings 15th July 2015 Zaun has achieved security ratings to LPS 1175 for a number of its pedestrian and vehicular swing gates from the Loss Prevention Certification Board (LPCB), as tested by the Buildings Research Establishment (BRE). The perimeter systems manufacturer’ has secured an SR1 rating for both Duo8 and HiSec 358 gates – and an SR2 rating for gates clad with HiSec Super10 mesh. The gates have all earned LPCB certificates and been entered into the Red Book for LPS 1175: Issue 7. Designers have added an overclip and special shear-drive bolt at the top and bottom of the mounting post of Zaun’s standard Duo8 gate to give it its SR1 rating. It has used a similar principle with its HiSec 358 gate, by adding a clamp bar at the side of the gate post with a through-bolt and stainless steel fixings. The SR2 gate is fitted with Zaun’s Super10 mesh into the HiSec gate. All three are supplied with an SR-rated padlock as standard. To maintain accreditation and a listing in the LPCB Red Book, manufacturers must regularly demonstrate to independent auditors that they are producing products consistent with those tested. This gives the customer the guarantee that they are getting a secure and quality product. Products approved by LPCB are rigorously tested for resistance to deliberate attack and play an important role in protecting people and property against physical attack, burglary, vandalism and terrorism. LPS 1175 specifically covers the approval and listing of intruder resistant building components, strongpoints, security enclosures and free-standing barriers. BRE Physical Security Certification Scheme Manager Richard Flint said: “The threat to organisations from commercial crime and terrorism is diverse in both geography and levels of skill involved; it is persistent and requires appropriate measures to deter criminals and terrorists. “Early detection backed up by effective physical security that provides a suitable delay while the response arrives reduces the likelihood of criminal acts being committed. This is supported by research and initiatives and in the UK, LPCB works closely with security equipment specifiers, insurers, government, police, and end users to develop methods by which the quality of product performance and product reliability can be assessed.“ Zaun clad Ipswich Police Station 03rd July 2015 Suffolk Police have specified sheet cladding over steel mesh fencing at a Police Station in Ipswich. Steel fencing manufacturer Zaun has installed its HiSec Super8 fencing in Ipswich to secure it against potential trespassers and thieves. The four-storey office block had stood empty since it was built in 2000 by Agilent Technologies next to the A14 until Suffolk Police and Suffolk County Council moved some of their services there to jointly save £1m a year over the 30-year life of the building. Landmark House has become the new Ipswich police station, home to 850 police and council staff, allowing the existing town centre building to be sold, and the council to sell five of its vacated offices. Zaun installed grey Zintec cladding sheets onto its 2.4 metre high HiSec Super8 mesh for main contractor Wates. It supplied cantilever bi-folding automatic speed gates with sensors that inform the controls and open the gates quicker as police vehicles accelerate towards the gates when speeding out when called out to an emergency. Zaun also made a huge double set of gates to secure with privacy sheeting to screen the high value asset compound.
