OUR STRENGTH, YOUR SUCCESS

THE PROJECT:

The design, manufacture and installation

of a high security barrier fencing

system at the Australian Defence Force

Joint Operations Command Centre in

Bungendore, just north of the ACT. Built

to accommodate 750 defence personnel,

the high-technology facility, set in

100 acres of bushland, is the centre

of joint military operational activities,

including war-fighting and disaster relief

co-ordination, and needed to be enclosed

with an anti-attack/anti-climb fencing.

THE CHALLENGE:

The architectural planning required two

individual high-security fence lines around

the main compound, forming almost 5.2km

of fencing, with the sensitive and covert

nature of the centre demanding the highest

level of protection for the personnel

and military equipment. Additionally, the

undulating nature of the site meant the

fence needed to be flexible enough to

work its way around the terrain without

too much alteration to the existing levels.

THE SOLUTION AND vERDICT:

Using Securemax® fencing, the final design

provides a robust, anti-ram barrier with

a strong, visual deterrent to scaling or

vehicle entry attempts. Manufactured and

distributed by Australian Security Fencing

(ASF), Securemax® has a small aperture

(9mm x 71mm) that makes it difficult to

grip and climb.

Intruder-resistant and long lasting,

Securemax® is manufactured from

Australian-made 4mm coated Zalcote® wire.

OneSteel’s Zalcote zinc aluminium coatings

offer excellent protection, combining the

active cathodic protection of zinc with the

passive protection of aluminum. The result

is a coating offering two to four times more

protection than hot-dipped galvanized wire.

Zalcote® has been specifically designed

for high security welded meshes with the

wire’s strong tensile properties increasing

the resistance against penetration.

Guaranteeing it meets the highest

standards of perimeter security,

Securemax® has been tested to SCEE

endorsement (eA 842740), an Australian

accepted ASIO certification.

The final design for the fencing included

a buttressed concrete continuous anti-ram

barrier with high security panels running

along the top of the concrete, with a clean,

flat external vertical surface to the fence

line to prevent scaling and climbing attempts.

The fence design involved individually

manufactured steel fence posts, each

requiring its own base detail measurement

and some OneSteel Universal columns were

purchased for the project.

ASF Product Manager David Odell said,

“Because Securemax® provides a high

degree of visibility through the mesh, visual

impact of the fence is reduced, ensuring the

general appearance is intimidating, but

not unattractive.”
