To delay the attack path of individuals, we can apply fencing. A fence should be applied in such a way that it provides sufficient deterrence against:

• Breaking through with tools
• Digging underneath
• Climbing over.

Uniquely, Mactwin can apply certified fencing up to a comparable class of Rc4/Rc5 and even Rc6. Fencing combined with vehicle barriers is also possible. However, in many cases, we project the vehicle barrier well in front of the fence line. This makes it impossible to attack the fence with a vehicle or to place people over the fence with a vehicle.

We offer modern solutions to remotely control access and allow individuals and drivers to register independently, without security officers at the gate, verify their identity, and match it with a visitor list or schedule of expected vehicles.

Everything depends on your risks, desires, and ambitions. In its most accessible form, a fence is nothing more than a demarcation of your premises. Think of low fencing or, in the same capacity, a natural boundary such as a hedge or other greenery. This clearly, yet unobtrusively, indicates that someone is now on your premises. This includes low fences or, for example, a coarse mesh fence.

Higher level of security

Do you want a higher level of security? Then you work on limiting and regulating the flow of people and vehicles to your premises to better facilitate the process behind the fence. By more tightly regulating access, detection certainty increases. Fences often become a size higher and enclose the premises better. Gates are applied or reinforced, and integration with camera security and access control systems occurs. A fine-mesh mesh fence, steel mesh fence, or palisade fence are commonly chosen fences in this class. A simple point comb or barbed wire prevents the fence from being easily climbable. With a steel mesh fence, there is the option to extend the vertical wires slightly above the top edge as an anti-climb measure.

High Secure Applications

If you go one security level higher, you want to prevent unauthorized people from gaining access to your premises. This active deterrence of people and vehicles already means that the fence must be set in concrete rather than earth to prevent digging and withstand a ram attack. This civil engineering work is an important aspect of the work (and the costs). The anti-climb protection can be reinforced; for example, with concertina (so-called razor-wire), spikes, rotating point combs, or electric fence protection (so-called power fence). Your fence can also be equipped with fence detection, so your control room or alarm center immediately sees if someone touches, climbs, or sabotages the fence. Reinforced forms of a palisade fence or steel mesh fence are popular choices, as well as fully electric fences.

Balance and Coherence

Of course, there are nuances between these three security levels. Especially with high secure applications, the relationship of the fence to the other security measures is of utmost importance. Initially, we think of balance and coherence with the gates, speed gates, turnstiles, and bollards/road blockers. But electronic systems such as camera security, access control, radar systems and ground loop detection are also crucial for a watertight perimeter security.

If you are not dealing with these kinds of issues daily, you quickly lose the overview. Our experts oversee the big picture and the details and can advise you at every step; starting with a Master Plan. Here, just like with our Polygon Security Methodology, your premises are systematically divided into zones, and a package of measures is established for each zone and transition. Entirely in line with your risks, desires, and ambitions.
