Caelum wire mesh fencing from Troax creates safe zones for News International
News International's printing complex in Hertfordshire now features safety zones that have been construced from Troax's Caelum wire mesh fencing.
Industrial safety specialist Troax UK used the fencing to prevent unauthorised access to highly automated print lines, ensuring a safe environment for staff.
Troax were brought in by main building contractor Carillion plc to construct a series of three ceiling height dividing walls which separate each of the lines of printing equipment.
The safety fencing ensures that News International complies with all relevant Health and Safety legislation.
Doors are incorporated into each run of fencing to provide access for authorised staff. There is also a series of two metre square apertures, fitted with heavy hanging chains, which allow large rolls of paper to pass through to the protected zone.
Caelum panels were also used to create two large maintenance stores – secure wire mesh enclosures where spare parts can be stored conveniently, close to the machinery, making it easily accessible by maintenance staff when needed.
Commenting on the News International project, Dean Cocksedge at Carillion plc said: “We’re very pleased with the work that Troax has carried out for us at News International’s new print works. They’ve been very efficient and responsive throughout the project and we have the confidence of knowing that the fencing they’ve designed for the site meets all Health and Safety legislation.”
