Encroachment by any number of people is becoming a more frequent problem for port sites around the world. Thousands of unauthorised incursions happen every year, whether for criminal purposes or just someone looking for a shortcut home. This is why you need to make sure that your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/products\/perimeter-fencing\/\">security fencing<\/a> is up to the job.<\/p>\n<p><a data-wpil=\"url\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/our-products\/\">Fencing<\/a> is the most used method of securing a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/products\/perimeter-fencing\/\">port perimeter<\/a> as it provides a physical barrier and provides security patrols with clear visibility. Still, it is the fencing you use up to scratch?<\/p>\n<h2>Your security fencing needs to do this as a minimum<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/fencing-for-transport\/fencing-for-ports\/\">Port security<\/a> fencing needs to support detection, surveillance and assessment of potential security threats in conjunction with other security measures such as CCTV and<a data-wpil=\"url\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/products\/perimeter-intrusion-detection-system\/\"> intrusion detection technology<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Other measures that will deter an intruder<\/h2>\n<p><a data-wpil=\"url\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/our-products\/\">Fencing<\/a> should go a long way to deterring the casual intruder from entering the area by making it difficult and time-consuming to breach the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/products\/perimeter-fencing\/\">perimeter<\/a>, which could include the addition of barbed or razor wire on top.<\/p>\n<p>The height and type of the <a data-wpil=\"url\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/our-products\/\">fencing<\/a> will also need to be considered, with a higher fence more likely to deter a potential intruder due to the amount of time and risk associated with scaling it. Certain types of fencing, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/approved-tested-fencing-gates\/\">LPS1175<\/a> approved fencing, will give a delay against a particular set of tools. This should be decided by the type of threat considered to your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/fencing-for-transport\/fencing-for-ports\/\">port<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Ensure that the bottom of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/fence\/\" title=\"What does your fence say about your business?\">fence<\/a> is buried into the ground, as this will help prevent breaches where intruders crawl under the fence to gain entry.<\/p>\n<p>If possible, eliminate handholds, such as omitting a top rail, which will make the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/burrowing-under-fencing\/\" title=\"How to make sure criminals can\u2019t climb or bury under security fencing\">fence much more difficult to climb<\/a>, or putting the fence too close to other climbing aids such as lamp posts, telegraph poles and other street furniture.<\/p>\n<h2>The bottom line<\/h2>\n<p>A site is only as secure as its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/products\/perimeter-fencing\/\">perimeter<\/a>, and if your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/products\/perimeter-fencing\/\">security fencing<\/a> is not up to the job, then you could see a sharp increase in unauthorised access to your port site.
