3 Table of Contents Securing Public Spaces and Public Buildings Schools, parks, embassies, playgrounds... such facilities have special requirements with regard to efficient security. They have to be accessible to public but they also need to be protected against vandalism or external violence. Often aesthetic properties of the fence are important, to fit with the architectural concept of the building. Betafence offers a total package of integrated solutions for the specific security needs of public spaces and public buildings. Highest quality mesh mesh fences combined with a wide range of gates, barriers and turnstiles with necessary attention paid to the design. Betafence security systems also comprise electronic components for access control, detection, identity control and registration. 1. Security of public places and buildings 2.

4 2. Solutions in relation to specific needs A ZONE A: school entrance The entrance to the site determines the overall impression it gives which is important for a school. The fencing must therefore be attractive and secure. Properties that reflect the school s image. It must also have functional qualities (stopping unauthorised people from entering the school), without damaging the inviting character. C B B ZONE B: school building It is important that school children are able to move within the entire school compound with safety. The fencing ensures that they do not accidentally stray onto the road. The fencing must always offer good visibility through it, so that any intruders will be noticed quickly. In a built-up area the fence must have a transparant look. A 4

5 Different security requirements exist for different zones on an public site. It is possible to establish the most appropriate fencing system for each area by identifying these different zones. This example uses a school to demonstrate this. ZONE C: bicycle park C The bicycle park must be protected from theft and vandalism. It must also be easily accessible, so that large groups of cyclists can enter or leave the park at the same time. The fencing must be and look secure so that people with bad intentions are immediately discouraged. It is preferable to choose a system that is hard to cut through or damage. D ZONE D: play zone D The protection of children is essential, but a play area may not look like a prison. That is why a fence of low to medium height is chosen here. Visibility through the fence is essential to make supervision possible. The fence must be completely safe and the children should not hurt or trap themselves on it. The entrances are protected by gates. Public Spaces and Public Buildings 5

9 Case study: Nursery school Zagreb Croatia Betafence gives the Zagreb infants the play area they need The nursery is an eye-catching, colourful two-storey building. The site is not particularly big, which gave the architects the idea of putting another playground on the roof of the first floor. The playground on the ground floor was protected by Betafence Nylofor 3D. The welded mesh panels ensure safety and security, so that playing infants do not end up on the street. For the fencing on the first floor the architects chose a Betafence Securifor 3D solution for maximum safety. Besides being easy to look through the Securifor panels are almost impossible to cut. The special fold in the 3D shape prevents infants climbing the fence. From now on all the children will have enough space to play... in complete safety! Public Spaces and Public Buildings 9

11 Case study: Olympic Centre Warsaw Poland Betafence present at Olympic level in Warsaw The modern Olympic Centre in the heart of Warsaw is a meeting place for sportspeople, lovers of culture and particularly for all Olympic athletes. The unique elliptical shape of the building makes the centre an excellent and representative place for conferences, seminars or business meetings. The owner was looking for a fence that matched the building s shape and thereby offered an aesthetic improvement. Important additional criteria were durability and corrosion resistance. A black Betafence Nylofor 3D fence was chosen. Decisive factors in this choice were the aesthetic properties of Nylofor 3D along with the security this fencing offers. Other factors were the short delivery time, the simple installation and the guarantee. Since May 2004 the Nylofor 3D fence surrounds the Olympic Centre covering a length of 700 meters. Betafence Robusta turnstiles secure the entrance. The Polish president Aleksander Kwaniewski officially opened the centre and found it magnificent! Public Spaces and Public Buildings 11

13 Case study: Walibi Park Waver Belgium Betafence as the protection of a magical place In 2006 theme park Walibi opened the gates of a renewed theme park that is unique in Europe. Besides countless rollercoasters and various attractions, attention was particularly made to the security fence Securifor 3D. Public come to a theme park to have a pleasant, adventurous and exciting day. A carefree and safe feeling are a part of this. One of the elements contributing to this is the secure and integral fencing around the site. Combined with concrete plinths, on which the Securifor 3D panels stand, a total height of 2.70 m is reached. Due to the close mesh apperture the fence cannot be climbed so that non-paying visitors or intruders are stopped. But the panel is aesthetic but remains easy to see through.

15 Case study: Court building Antwerp (Belgium) The feeling of safety: a challenge for Belgian Justice The new Antwerp court building is a glass house, which wishes to project hospitality and accessibility. Originally there was no fencing planned. The courtyards were an extension of the park and would be freely accessible. Considering safety and prevention of vandalism the Ministry of Justice demanded that a fence be provided in a second phase. The Betafence Securifor panel with rectangular post and cover plate was chosen. The security price-quality ratio and aesthetic considerations were decisive. The various entrances were equipped with automated Bekamatic gates, secure cantilever Robusta sliding gates and secure Securifor turnstiles. Fencing and gates join seamlessly. The small mesh of the Securifor fencing also has a deterrent effect on possible intruders. And so Betafence will from now on contribute to a greater feeling of safety in Antwerp.

17 Case study: Locomotion Museum in Shildon (U.K.) Betafence puts the railway museum on the right track Weldmesh Gabions are a technically reliable product with unique qualities in building. Gabions are mostly used as walls. They can easily be erected and filled with a diverse range of materials. Plants can be included in the design, so that the landscape does not lose its natural look. The Locomotion Museum in the English Northern town Shildon is an ode to the rich past of the British railways. The building was designed to be as environmentally friendly as possible: solar panels, windmills for energy provision, a biodiesel bus for transporting visitors... A free-standing Betafence Trapion wall is an eye-catching aesthe- tic element along the path to the museum. The wall gives a natural and visually architectural finish. Hand stacked limestone was chosen as the filler. A resounding success, since the project was nominated for the Gulbenkian Prize, the top prize for art in the United Kingdom.
