Temporary Barrier Fencing – Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water

Skanska innovate temporary barrier fencing at Glascoed WTW for Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water.

Skanska, a capital delivery partner of Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water, have innovated barrier fencing and safety at the Glascoed Water Treatment Works for their staff, through the use of FenceSafe Eclipse Temporary Barrier Fencing at 1.2m high across the site.

Work began on the site earlier this year and maintained a focus of delivering innovative and sustainable solutions that make a positive and lasting difference to Welsh Water customers. Issues with a busy site and multiple specialists working under the Skanska family required the safety aspect of offering a protected walk way around the areas of the site to be considered.

Standard barrier fencing, whilst suitable for many applications becomes damaged and offers no security at all in preventing people moving it to create ‘short-cuts’. Mark Osborne, Site Manager for Skanska said; “When we saw the FenceSafe system we knew it was perfect for this site.” He continued “It has been installed for months now and all we hear are positives about the look and safety it provides us.”
