Affinity Water relies on Zaun

Security fencing manufacturer Zaun has taken its first order for its HiSec Super10 system – believed to be the first single mesh to be certified to Security Rating 2.

Zaun will supply and install approaching 100m of the SR2-rated HiSec Super10 along with a series of Super10 gates for security systems integrator Reliance High-Tech at two Affinity Water sites to the north west of London.

The £50,000 contract is Zaun's first since Super10 was certified to LPS 1175 SR2 (certificate number 1164a/01) by the Loss Prevention Certification Board (LPCB) and entered into Issue 7 of the Red Book.

Affinity Water insisted on SR2 fencing to surround two enclosures at its Amersham site and two more at its Eastbury Pumping Station.

Zaun will install around 20m of 4m-high blue-coated Super10 fencing to surround a water tower and electric sub-station at The Salt Store and a similar-sized loading bay at Borehole 4 at Amersham together with single and double leaf gates.

Two similar enclosures made from 3m-high silver powder coated Super10 will go in at TX2 and PFU at the Eastbury station. Both sites will be completed by the end of March.

Reliance High-Tech is a leader security provider to Critical National Infrastructure (CNI) markets including water, power generation and telecommunications and delivered the biometric smartcard solution for the London 2012 Olympic Games.

Affinity Water is the largest water-only supplier in the UK, providing 900m litres of water each day to 3.5m people across North West London and parts of the Home Counties.
