Docklands Light Railway - 358 welded mesh panels and Powerfence™
The Emirates Air Line is a Transport for London (TFL) gondola lift cable car link across the Thames in London. The service opened in June 2012. JB Corrie of Petersfield, Hampshire, provided security to ground and sea level.
The pictures show the South Tower, one of three towers JB Corries carried out work on, some 50m into the Thames. The other two towers sit on the river bank.
All security ironwork was surveyed, manufactured, finished and installed by JB Corrie. All three towers have Powerfence™ protection. Powerfence™ is a pulsed energy fencing system offering a safe and legal deterrent performing to the highest international standard, BSEN 61011.
This project posed a number of challenges. The conical shape of the 90 metre high tower meant the panels had to be fabricated with 5-10 degrees of twist in order to follow the contour of the tower.
Security grade fixings secured from the inside out using specialised rigging staff, and for Phase 2, the access gantry had been removed so JB Corrie were particularly grateful to the excellent staff on the safety and access boats, and their own staff who had to contend with irregular working hours dictated by tide times.
Controlled access to the tower is through a Powerfence™ controlled gate. The Powerfence™ system is a standard fit type linked back to the client’s front end.
For this contract JB Corrie provided the client with design assistance, drawings, project management and support. All fence project management was done by the JB Corrie in-house team.
