High security modular panel manufacturer Securiclad has developed
an enhanced version of its innovative modular construction system, which is
designed to offer an increased level of protection for data centres, Government
and utilities infrastructure, and other at-risk locations.
The Securiclad system is now certified up to Loss Prevention
Standard (LPS) 1175 Security Rating (SR) 5, which means that it is designed and
manufactured to resist attack by circular saws and reciprocating saws, as well
as tools including drills, sledgehammers and disc grinders.
Securiclad’s modular composite
panel systems, which also hold certification to Loss Prevention
Standards (LPS) 1175 Security Rating (SR) 2, 3 and 4, are used to create secure environments in sites including data centres,
water utilities infrastructure, hazardous waste storage facilities, healthcare
facilities, financial institutions and retail units.
Securiclad can be used in new buildings or retro-fitted to an
existing site, and is pre-finished, negating the need for wet trade
requirements. It has both internal and external applications and can be used to
form a standalone ‘room’, kiosk or partition. As the system is modular, it is
quick and easy to install. It is also entirely bespoke and can be designed to
specification.
Securiclad’s managing director, Mike McColl, said: “We are
delighted to have developed the LPS 1175 SR5 modular system solution for
introduction into the market. In today’s security climate, we believe that it’s
critical for organisations to ensure that their facilities have the right level
of protection and our LPS 1175 SR5 wall panels expand our existing range of
certified solutions.
“They offer an increased level of security and will provide
organisations with even greater protection for infrastructure, data, hazardous
materials and valuables.
“The development of the SR5 solution is testimony to the
innovative approach of the Securiclad team and marks a very significant
development for the company.”
This year, Securiclad also launched Ballisticlad, an enhanced ballistic protection system. The Ballisticlad
high security panels have achieved ballistic testing to EN1522/23 (1999)
FB5 and FB6 ratings, meaning they are certified to withstand firepower from
AK47s and other assault rifles.
Securiclad, which is manufactured in North Tyneside, is delivered
across the UK and abroad. Securiclad can be
offered as a turnkey solution, via approved and certified personnel or on a
supply-only basis for contractors who prefer to install the system themselves.
Securiclad can also be supplied fully assembled as a smaller kiosk, guard hut
or small storage space.
