Project detail

Secure railings with rounded tubular pales

To provide demarcation and security around the perimeter, Jacksons Fencing supplied 154m of Barbican Imperial vertical bar railings at 1.8m high.

The slim, rounded tubular pales and concealed fixings, creates a strong yet traditional and elegant looking fence, with a number of modern design updates to enhance security.

The railings were hot dip galvanised and polyester powder coated black to provide a durable finish to protect them from rust, and supplied with Jacksons' 25 year guarantee.

Featuring a bold, contemporary design, the building is complemented by the fence which mirrors the black, vertical cladding used within the building design.

Secure car park provision

Situated in central London, a secure care park for staff, residents and visitors was essential to maximise convenience and accessibility for relatives visiting and increase satisfaction and safety of residents who come and go.

Jacksons supplied an automated 3m-wide sliding gate with matching Barbican Imperial infill for this.

The vertical bar design not only provides ample security and protection against climbing and vandalism with its welded pale-through-rail construction, but also provides a smart, sleek appearance conducive to a luxury facility.

Outcome

The project was developed in partnership with WGP Architects and Horizon Building Contractors and achieved an ‘excellent’ BREEAM rating, using low-carbon technologies such as solar panels, a combined heat and power boiler, and an air source heat pump. The building also has biodiversity roofing and cyclist facilities.

Choosing Jacksons Fencing with its long guarantee and lifespan helped to contribute to this sustainability rating.
