Physical protection at ISE 2019

by Mark Rowe

Among the exhibitors at the International Security Expo 2019 at Olympia in west London on December 3 and 4, on the HS Security stand (H40), will be Technocover, demonstrating its LPCB approved steel systems for the hardening of sites against unauthorised access.

The Welsh firm is showing its UltraSecure doors, access covers, enclosures, access control and accessories, and will be participating in LPCB’s Live Lab over the two days of the show.

Visitors will be able to view the engineered resistance of its products under simulated physical attack by LPCB’s certification testers. Technocover will be supplying compliant and non-compliant specimens of an LPCB SR3 (security rating 3) Sentinel Lite enclosure with side vents and cable entry cat-flap as part of the tests, which replicate levels of attack risk posed by criminals and their chosen tools. More of the company’s products on stand H40 will be alongside brands within the HS Security portfolio of physical security for industry and the urban environment (part of Hill and Smith Holdings PLC).

On show will be an example of an UltraSecure LPCB certified (SR4) mesh enclosure, whose modular design can be configured into large and complex secure enclosures for utilities, energy, transport, industrial and other sites, the firm says. Equipment can be assembled off-site and lifted into position to overcome challenging site constraints, speeding up installation in order to reduce downtime or even permitting the asset to remain live during the process.

The Technocover ‘Tardis’ will showcase four LPCB approved doors, with security ratings 2, 3, 4 and 5, and a variety of LPCB certified accessories. Options on display include types of entry and exit control, vision panels, door closers and vents among numerous accessories for adapting to operational and location needs, the company says.

The firm stresses its ‘Total Service’ approach to bespoke asset protection evolved over 25 years of designing, manufacturing and installing LPCB approved systems for critical infrastructure and the built environment. In line with the show’s theme of ‘Evolving Security Through innovation’, this specialised work demonstrates the company’s deep experience and ingenuity in resolving complex functionality within the scope of LPCB certification.

Variations on the modular cage on show, for example, are for the secure containment of CBR (chemical, biological and radioactive) materials and controlled substances in laboratories, medical facilities, pharmacies, process and production sites. A recent project involved a protective cage and access system to secure a refrigerator and incubator within a university unit. Meeting the need for external visibility of the protected assets, Technocover designed and installed a five-sided cage, tested and approved to LPCB SR4 (LPS 1175 Issue 7; cert no 450i). The company has just achieved an updated LPCB 450i certificate for a ‘Hybrid Cage System’ with the options of solid panel construction, a removable roof, or sliding roof access hatch.
