Earlier this year we worked alongside KDM group to install specialist fencing for a major distribution Site in the Northeast of England. The site has been chosen to trial drone deliveries ahead of a potential national rollout… but before they could start, they needed the right fencing for the Job.

The Challenge

This job required fencing to meet unique needs. We had to create a compound that was secure but remained accessible to staff and authorised people. Further, we had to ensure the fencing installed would not interfere with the drones performance by blocking radio signals or causing a physical obstruction. Further we had to install this fencing without disrupting the ongoing operations of the several hundred employees on site.

The Solution

We imported specialist fencing from Europe, with radio transparency certification, ensuring the secure mesh wouldn’t interfere with the drones’ operations. Within the 200 Meters of fencing installed around the 3 drone launch pads, we also included pedestrian turnstiles and sliding vehicle access gates; making the site easily accessible to authorised personal. The 2.4-metre-high fencing included a 45-degree crank ensuring it can’t be easily scaled.

IPJ x KDM

This depot is the first of its kind in the UK and IPJ is proud to have played our part. From Portsmouth to Aberdeen, IPJ regularly works with KDM group and logistics giants installing a wide range of products from SR rated fencing, including up to SR4, winter stores and other small structures.
