Perimeter Security & Safety Solutions for Rail Transport
From boundary demarcation to trackside protection, we can supply a variety of railway fencing systems to suit your requirements in a range of heights. Railway stations have many different needs, whether this is to ensure passenger and staff safety, or to help deliver operational efficiency from arrival at the station to boarding a train.
Our solutions include decorative metal railings for platform demarcation, and vertical bar security fencing or welded mesh panels to deter against vandalism and trespassing, with non-conductive properties if required. These considerations dictate a wider requirement for fencing and gates to provide secure parking and bicycle storage facilities, ease the flow of passengers while transiting through the station, and to enable rapid evacuation and access for emergency services in the event of a major incident.
Moreover, trackside and platform security are not the only concerns, and the requirement for noise reduction solutions such as acoustic fencing have become more prevalent. We can install acoustic barriers around stations, depots, and trackside, as part measures to reduce the migration of noise to nearby properties. Metal and cable theft is an added issue affecting railways, with thieves targeting signalling cables, overhead power lines, and even metal fences to sell for scrap. It is not only the cost of replacing a stolen cable, but the impact on the rail service and the cost to the railway provider if a service is delayed or doesn’t run.
Triple point palisade is no longer good enough as a security fence for railways, the purpose of railway fencing is more than a deterrent; it needs to keep the public safe, while reducing cable theft and the knock on effects of disrupted journeys, and increased tax investment.

Longevity should be a requirement for railway fencing; lowering costs by diminishing the need to replace the fence, and reducing the need for staff walking the line looking for common breaches. A long guarantee period leads to less waste discarded into landfills, promoting sustainability.
Our 25 year GuaranteesRailway noise barriers
Over the last five years, with urbanisation and new housing developments being built near to existing rail lines and even the introduction of new lines, acoustic fencing and noise barriers have become more commonplace, and an essential part of the specification of new train lines.

Train Station Fencing
Train station fencing serves multiple purposes: safety, security, and demarcation for station and track boundaries. Adequate railway fencing is essential to protect passengers, staff, and infrastructure while maintaining the efficient operation of train stations. Rail providers mainly implement fences to mark the boundary of their land while also serving as a deterrent to prevent trespass and vandalism.
From installing barriers that prevent track access while on the platform until the train arrives to providing fencing and gates at several train stations to deal with fare dodging and trespass, we can provide complex and simple solutions for train stations and railways.
