H.S.JACKSON & SON(FENCING)LIMITED
Border Fencing between the UK and France
IMPROVING PERIMETER SAFETY AND SECURITY AT THE EUROTUNNEL
Jacksons were on site the following day for a detailed briefing and to survey the project, following which the company responded quickly and had returned its tender submission for review by the principal stakeholders (Eurotunnel as the client and Border Force on behalf of the UK Government), complete with wind loading and foundation calculations, within 1 week from the date of the initial visit.
Two contractors were appointed to the project for 5km of fencing and associated gates to be completed by the end of October. Around 80% of the new fencing would be deployed to reinforce existing physical security measures with additional layers, while the remaining 20% was destined to replace existing fencing.
Initially Jacksons were awarded 3.3km of the 5.0km contract, however as of October 2016, the company worked across 4 key locations spread throughout the perimeter and interior of the site and installed a total of 1
