With the migrant crisis unfolding across Europe and the Middle East, the Channel Tunnel has been the site of a lot of disruption and sadness, as many refugees attempt to use it to make their way to the UK in search of refuge from the wars and destruction in their own nations. Due to the sheer number of refugees trying to use the Tunnel without a vehicle or trying to walk the tracks of the Eurostar and putting themselves in great danger, both have been disrupted many times since the crisis started earlier this year.<\/p>\n<p>To attempt to reduce this disruption, the French authorities have now erected a <a title=\"High Security Fencing\" data-wpil=\"url\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/high-security-fencing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">security fence<\/a> around both the Channel Tunnel and the Eurostar at Calais, in a similar move to some Eastern and Central European countries like Bulgaria and Slovakia, who have put up <a title=\"High Security Fencing\" data-wpil=\"url\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/high-security-fencing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">perimeter fencing<\/a> around their borders to control the flow of people. This week, it is being reported by local papers in Kent, where the crossing with France ends, that this has helped reduce disruption in the area (<a style=\"color: #71b644;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kentonline.co.uk\/kent-business\/county-news\/fencing-cuts-migrant-disruption-46861\/\">Kent Online &#8211; Fencing Cuts Disruption<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>This is good news, as many people were sceptical about how <a title=\"What should you look for in effective security fencing?\" data-wpil=\"url\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/effective-security-fencing\/\">effective the fence<\/a> would be, given that similar projects have failed in previous years. However, the 37km <a title=\"3 design ideas to make custom security fencing stand out\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/custom-security-fencing\/\">security fencing<\/a> has reduced the disruption almost to zero, as it is being reported that no refugees have made their way into the UK using this route since it was erected. This has also led the Eurostar corporation to make a statement, claiming that their site has been &#8220;restored to its habitual high level of protection&#8221; and that it has been operating a normal level of security for the past month. This year, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/bike-locker-for-train-stations\/\" title=\"4 Reasons to Use A Bike Locker for Train Stations\">train<\/a> service has seen record usage levels, even despite the disruption caused during the summer months. This whole project is expected to have cost the British government at least \u00a37 million, most of which was aided by the <a title=\"Zaun launches French Varimesh sports fencing system\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/varimesh-sports-fencing\/\">French authorities to build the fence<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Eurostar has been in the news a lot over the past few months.
