Securing an industrial site in the UAE means more than putting up a fence. Facility managers must specify the right system to deter intrusion, satisfy insurers and withstand the climate. Use this checklist.
1. Fence Height
Minimum 2.4m for most industrial perimeters; 3m+ for high-security sites like oil & gas or data centres.
2. Mesh Gauge & Type
Heavy-gauge galvanized chain link or rigid welded mesh. Smaller apertures resist cutting and climbing.
3. Anti-Climb Toppings
Barbed wire, razor wire or rotating spikes raise the effort and risk for intruders.
4. Post Strength & Footings
Heavy posts set in concrete footings prevent the fence being pushed over or driven through.
5. Gates & Access Control
Match gate strength to the fence; add automation, intercoms and CCTV integration for controlled entry.
6. Corrosion Protection
Hot-dip galvanizing plus PVC or powder coating for long life in UAE conditions.
7. Visibility for CCTV
Mesh fencing keeps clear sightlines for cameras — important for monitored perimeters.
