SectorHospital Security Fencing
When a new mental health unit planned to provide a safe and secure environment for their patients and staff, CLD Fencing Systems and a Littlewood Fencing were asked to design, manufacture and supply the perfect solution for this project. Hafan Y Coed (Haven of Trees) Mental Health Unit at the University Hospital Llandough opened the doors of their £88million facility back in 2016 offering patients a modern, therapeutic and recovery-focused unit.
Powell Dobson and Laing O’Rouke designed and constructed the detailed mental health unit, and in order to match the level of safety of the building, their hospital security fencing needed to encourage privacy and security throughout. With these requirements, CLD Fencing Systems high security range was used, and Hafan Y Coed were able to secure their site with a welcoming rest place for patients.
Around 674m of CLD Fencing Systems Securus Anti-climb hospital security fencing and 18 Lockmaster Swing Gates were designed, manufactured and supplied to Hafan Y Coed. This hospital security fencing was ideal for the unit as Hafan Y Coed required ant-climb properties to provide staff and patients the safety they need. With this fence line they also required high security gate solutions with anti-cut and anti-ligature features with fully concealed hinges and locks to prevent climbing aids.
An additional requirement Hafan Y Coed requested was a fencing system that would provide them privacy for their outside garden. This was to create the relaxed, calming and welcoming feel they required for their recovery-focused facility.
Based on a number of specific requirements from Hafan Y Coed Mental Health Unit, the following fencing and gate systems were used for their Hospital Security Fencing:
Security of patients and staff was paramount when understanding the brief for the new perimeter fence line and security access control. The following requirements were set out to maintain their security needs:
“The safety and security of our patients and staff was the most important aspect for us when implementing security perimeter fencing. CLD Fencing Systems Hospital Security Fencing met all our requirements with additional components added for extra security and aesthetics.”
