One of the world’s
premier high security perimeter protection integrators has struck a partnership
agreement to better access growth markets in oil, gas and military in the
Middle East.
British-headquartered
perimeter protection Zaun Group has partnered with the Rimal Global Group in
Oman.
Rimal Global group
focuses on engineering, procurement, contracting and construction for renewable
energy development, oil & gas field development, power generation projects,
roads development and promoter of Niche global technologies in Oman and other
Gulf countries.
Critically, Rimal
Global will become an authorised distributor of Zaun’s high-security fencing
systems with Security Ratings, in Oman.
Gokul Jayanth,
Divisional Manager at Rimal Global, said: “We at Rimal Global bring to Oman the
world’s leading organisations specialised in various products and technologies
and hence have associated with Zaun for high security fencing systems. The
quality and precision of their products is second to none in the world.”
The Loss Prevention
Certification Board (LPCB) in the UK maintains a Red Book and its Security
Ratings to LPS 1175, through exhaustive assessments by independent testers from
the Buildings Research Establishment (BRE).
LPS 1175 specifically
covers the approval and listing of intruder resistant building components,
strongpoints, security enclosures and free-standing barriers.
Products approved by
LPCB are rigorously tested for resistance to deliberate attack and play an
important role in protecting people and property against physical attack,
burglary, vandalism and terrorism.
To maintain
accreditation and a listing in the LPCB Red Book, manufacturers must
regularly demonstrate to independent auditors that they are producing products
consistent with those tested. This gives the customer the guarantee that
they are getting a secure and quality product.
Zaun has worked
extensively in the Arabian peninsula, with clients including Kuwait Oil
Corporation, Petroleum Development Oman and the Abu Dhabi military.
Zaun sales and
marketing director Chris Plimley said: “A customer in the Middle East has asked
us to create a fencing system that could defend against forced entry for at
least 10 minutes.
“Just last month, that
development fencing system based on our ‘corrugated steel mesh sandwich’
CorruSec resisted serious attempts at forced entry for over 20 minutes in
independent tests by BRE assessors. We believe this may be a world record
for a fencing system.”
The
assessors used top end battery power cutting tools including an awesome 750W
reciprocating saw with specialist blades used by fire and rescue teams and 18V
circular saws, jigsaws and disk grinders, axes including an 850mm felling axe,
a hooligan bar, 1.5kg lump hammer and 500mm long bolt cutters.
