Electric pulse fencing enhances perimeter security 

Procter Fencing Systems has been appointed as an Accredited Dealer by Harper Chalice, a leading manufacturer of Home Office-approved electrified fencing systems and electronic surveillance systems. Procter Fencing Systems is therefore a 'one-stop shop' for organisations seeking enhanced perimeter security.

Harper Chalice Group manufactures, supplies and distributes electrified perimeter security systems and complementary products such as infrared warning beams, electronic annunciation systems, fence-mounted electronic intruder detection systems and wall-mounted seismic intrusion detection system. These products are all designed specifically for reliable protection of people, property and assets.

Utilities and other critical national infrastructure assets are increasingly installing enhanced perimeter security measures to counter the threat of terrorism and, in some cases, environmental protestors, but there is also growing interest for the protection of premises used for logistics, vehicle storage and so on. Most importantly, Harper Chalice products are Home Office trialled and approved to the highest SEAP ratings, which are the standards required for the protection of these high-profile sites. Harper Chalice has recently opened a showroom and demonstration facility in Coventry so that potential users, customers and specifiers can view the range of specialist perimeter security systems and products as installed on fences and gates.

Compared with using security staff to patrol the perimeter, technology-based enhanced security measures offer numerous advantages including: being a permanent deterrent; providing complete and continuous surveillance; not requiring food, sleep, comfort breaks or sick leave; not being susceptible to bribery; capable of dealing with multiple incidents; and detecting intrusion attempts early so that planned responses can be mounted. Given the reduction in manpower that is often possible, enhanced perimeter security systems can also deliver significant long-term savings.

Organisations requiring either new fencing with enhanced security measures or additional security measures to upgrade existing fencing can now get everything that they need from Procter Fencing Systems, which has over 100 years' experience in fencing and can serve customers nationwide from its three regional bases. Following an initial consultation and site survey, Procter Fencing Systems can install the fencing, gates and any additional security measures necessary, such as the Harper Chalice PulseSecure electrification system or the FenceSecure fence-mounted electronic intruder detection system. The systems provided are directly compatible with CCTV, access control and security monitoring/management systems. Procter Fencing Systems is therefore a 'one-stop shop' for all of a customer's perimeter security needs.

Jeremy Procter, Managing Director of Procter Fencing Systems, says: "Harper Chalice products are arguably the best on the market, as demonstrated by the Home Office approvals. The company is also committed to excellent customer service and a process of continuous improvement to ensure that its products remain market leaders."

Graham Harper, Managing Director of Harper Chalice, adds: "We are very happy to be working with Procter Fencing Systems, as this company is the ideal partner for us in the market for enhanced perimeter security. I have been very impressed with Procter's professional approach and the infrastructure that exists to serve customers nationwide. With Procter's fencing products and installation service, and Harper Chalice's enhanced security systems, customers will benefit from the very best products and service currently available."
