Having been awarded £4m worth of contracts at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, integrated high-security perimeter event overlay specialist Zaun is now looking ahead to a busy schedule culminating in the 2016 Olympics in Rio.
The company designed, manufactured, installed and decommissioned temporary high-security fencing systems across the Glasgow 2014 sites as part of a perimeter security contract awarded to Finmeccanica subsidiary Selex ES to secure more than 20 venues.
Glasgow Games procurers ordered several thousand metres of two of Zaun's temporary high-security fencing systems – MultiFence and RDS – at heights of 3m and 2.4m, with sections fitted with hostile vehicle mitigation (HVM) enhancements, hundreds of vehicle and pedestrian gates to suit each system and bespoke above ground and system-mounted CCTV columns incorporated into the fencing lines.
Zaun was also the largest supplier of perimeter fencing protection to the London 2012 Olympics, and will now help secure a number of global sporting events over the next 20 months.
First on the agenda is the Cricket World Cup in Australia in March. This will be followed in June by the first ever multi-sport European Games in Azerbaijan, which coincides with the UEFA European Under-21 Championships in Croatia, before October’s Rugby World Cup in England.
