\"Preparations<\/p>\n

US President Donald Trump slept secure behind a ring of steel on his recent State visit to the United Kingdom \u2013 thanks to a premier British fencing systems manufacturer.<\/p>\n

Trump stayed behind an eight-foot-high security fence of Zaun Ltd\u2019s multi award-winning Rapid Deployment System<\/a> (RDS), developed with partner Highway Care Security<\/a>, that surrounded the house and gardens of the US Ambassador’s residence Winfield House in Regent’s Park.<\/p>\n

Wolverhampton-based Zaun first created RDS, which forms part of the National Barrier Asset<\/a>, for political conferences and major outdoor events.<\/p>\n

The security fences were erected ahead of the President’s controversial three-day state visit to join the celebrations of the 75th<\/sup>anniversary of D-Day.<\/p>\n

Around 10,000 police officers were on duty at a cost to the UK taxpayer of \u00a318m and parts of the London park were closed.<\/p>\n

Thousands of protesters gathered to demonstrate against his visit, including the inflatable baby blimp which flew during his last visit to London.<\/p>\n

RDS has become the firm favourite with police for securing party<\/a> conferences since it saved up to 90% of police time and proved its rapid-install-with-high-security credentials during a whistle-stop tour from Brighton to Birmingham via Manchester for the three main UK political parties\u2019 autumn conferences in 2012 and at the G8 summit in Northern Ireland in May 2013.<\/p>\n

After the Labour autumn conference in 2012, Inspector Steve Worth, Specialist Operations Branch, Conference Planning Unit, Greater Manchester<\/a> Police, said: \u201cRDS is now firmly the preferred product for the delivery of security operations for party political conferences we police, fully supported by The Home Office.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since then, RDS has won a number of security innovation awards, including the Security Innovation Award and the Counter Terror Expo<\/a> Excellence Awards for Best Physical Security Innovation.<\/p>\n

A new QuickFit post system halves the manpower for installing RDS<\/a>, with a team of two able to install a 30m run in just half an hour in trials.<\/p>\n

Opposing wedge-shape protrusions on the posts and clamp bar serve as a pincer system to clamp the fence panels<\/a> to the posts.\u00a0They are locked in place with a single bolt fixing per post with the head of the bolt completely encapsulated inside a tube<\/a> so it cannot be removed.\u00a0 Zaun\u2019s research and development team has created a video<\/a> to demonstrate the innovation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
