What are security hoardings?
In high-risk areas where theft is rife
Procter security hoardings are a specialist type of construction site hoarding for projects where conventional hoardings are inadequate. If it is crucial to keep intruders out of a construction site – or to provide temporary protection while work is carried out on perimeter fencing and gates – our security hoardings are far more effective than timber hoardings, aluminium hoardings or steel hoardings, even when they are supplemented by CCTV or other security measures.
We designed our security hoardings after developing our SR1 and SR2 security gates, building on the insights gained there and our extensive experience of perimeter security. Our turnkey service for security hoardings covers site surveys, consultancy, wind calculations, design, rapid installation, maintenance, dismantling, removal and, if required, storage on behalf of the contractor until the reusable hoarding is next needed. Our service also extends to electrical installations where, for example, security lighting is mounted on the hoarding.
Typical applications for security hoardings include construction sites in high-risk areas where theft is rife, sensitive construction projects such as defence establishments and prisons, and existing sites where perimeter security needs to be maintained during repairs or modifications to fencing, walls or gates.
Key Features
- Security hoarding panels and posts are manufactured in our factory to standard sizes but we can easily produce different sizes or custom items to suit a site’s specific requirements. Panels are fabricated from corrosion-resistant galvanised steel sheet 1.6mm thick and posts are made from robust steel sections. Riveted joints mean there are no fasteners accessible from the outside.
- As a result of this construction, the security hoarding is highly resistant to cutting and there are no finger holds or toe holds that could aid climbing. Heavy-duty steel posts are set in concrete to resist unauthorised removal. And with no timber used, the hoardings are also fire-proof.
- Standard panels are 2.4 m wide and 2.4 m high but higher panels can be supplied to order. The robust nature of our security hoarding means it can be reused multiple times.
- To complement the security hoardings, we can also supply matching security gates and access control systems for vehicles and pedestrians.
Our work
Our experience in the fencing industry extends back more than 100 years and the company’s history dates from 1740. The firm is still family-owned and run, and we are extremely proud of our reputation for high-quality products and exceptional customer service. You can, therefore, be sure that our security hoardings are manufactured to the highest standards and we will do whatever is necessary to meet your needs.
We always use our own teams of fully trained installers, not casual labour, to ensure the highest quality of installation possible.
In the event of the hoarding becoming damaged, we can very quickly repair or replace it to maintain the security of your construction site.
Our ISO 9001 Quality Management System covers the supply and installation of construction site hoardings. We also have numerous approvals, accreditations and pre-qualifications for working on-site as a contractor: PSSA, SMAS, Constructionline, Safecontractor, CHAS, Achilles Building Confidence, CSCS and Builders Profile.
Other types of construction site hoarding
Security hoardings are essential for high-risk projects, but our timber hoardings, aluminium hoardings or steel hoardings may provide adequate protection for other applications.
