As building regulations and designs continue to evolve towards greater sustainability and comfort, notable transformations are underway in the realm of Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC), particularly within commercial properties. The adoption of air and ground source heat pumps, air conditioning units, and various energy generators is becoming increasingly prevalent. Simultaneously, the implementation of protective measures such as acoustic barriers, security fencing (including mesh and vertical bar railings), security compounds, and timber fencing is gaining prominence. These safeguards are essential to prevent potential damage to HVAC units, ensuring the uninterrupted supply of energy to buildings while maintaining security and operational integrity.
9 times of 10, a bespoke solution will be required to protect an energy source and ensure it does the job correctly, whether this involves the groundworks being managed differently to avoid cables and pipework, or the installation of a louvre barrier to prevent airflow restriction around air handling units.

Air source heat pump acoustic enclosures
An air source heat pump transfers heat from the outside air to water, which heats rooms via radiators or underfloor heating, and stored water for use in a home or business. While they are a good option for sustainable energy generation, a common complaint is excess noise. Their roll out to residential and commercial properties nationwide could create a noise problem. For large properties, noise is further increased due to the requirement for multiple pumps. By their nature, the machinery involved in converting air to water is noisy, and is louder in the colder months as it works harder. Unfortunately, air source heat pumps cannot be covered or boxed as air flow will be restricted and access is required for maintenance.

Acoustic barriers for energy sector security
Often, a heat pump noise assessment will indicate that an acoustic barrier is necessary to reduce noise but also protect the unit from damage. Acoustic barriers are an excellent choice for substations, air source heat pumps, and air handling units, and are a solution we have frequently supplied.
Energy Storage Fencing
Security for energy storage and generation assets involves a combination of security fencing and access control measures, paired with surveillance and perimeter intrusion detection systems. Mesh fencing panels, vertical bar railings, and acoustic barriers are typically used in the protection of battery storage sites.
We specialise in providing customised energy storage fencing solutions for Battery Energy Storage Systems, that deliver security, reliability, and convenient access, for your energy storage and generation site. We have provided a number of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) fencing solutions. Read about one of our projects below.

1. Perimeter Fence - Usually a mesh type fence, good visibility with a combination of security features.
2. Gate Access - Our access points for controlled entry are designed to provide ample space for the transportation of large items, ensuring smooth operational efficiency at all times.
3. Battery Fence - Secondary fence that can delay access during a break-in but also acts as a separator for safety reasons around high-voltage equipment.
4. Noise Fencing - Acoustic Barriers that reduce the noise from generators, air-conditioning units, and other machinery.
5. PIDS - A perimeter intrusion detection system, installed to detect penetration of outer perimeter fencing.
6. Solar Farm Fencing - Perimeter security fencing for solar farms, designed to provide maximum security.
Solar Farm Security Fencing
Solar farm fencing plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety and security of renewable energy sites. Adequate and suitable fencing is essential to protect valuable solar panels and equipment from theft, vandalism, and unauthorised access as solar farms expand.
Additionally, solar farm fencing helps safeguard wildlife by keeping them away from hazardous areas. The choice of fencing material, height, and design is essential, as it must balance security needs with environmental and aesthetic considerations. Durable, low-maintenance fencing solutions are ideal for these large-scale installations, ensuring long-term protection while minimising impact on the surrounding landscape.
