Alexandra Security Ltd

Bluebird House, situated within the premises of Thatchbury Mount Hospital in Southampton, serves as a high-security wing catering to individuals with diverse mental health needs. The facility prioritizes both safety and comfort for its residents, aiming to provide a conducive environment for their well-being. When they wanted to develop a new open space within the existing secure compound, Westend group partnered with Knight Fencing to undertake the project.With the balance between security measures and the creation of a welcoming environment a key factor, Alexandra’s Protek 358 security weld-mesh system was chosen as the solution. The additional need to prevent direct contact between patients, while maintain a sense of openness and comfort meant that decorative woodland screening panels were added to the face of the mesh.The flat panel and tightly spaced apertures of Protek 358, combined with the full-length clamp bar were ideal for providing a secure anti-climb security fence system that conforms to the British Standard, making it suitable for use in the NHS.Once supplied by Alexandra, Knight Fencing expertly installed the system on site, and chose base-plated posts that securely bolted into the existing concrete. Bluebird House now has a new secure area that they can use to support their young patients with their mental health.Learn more about Alexandra’s range of security fencing for health and educational facilities, please don’t hesitate to contact us or reach out to our team of experts to discuss your upcoming project.

Warren Commercial Fencing have recently completed a fence and gate install to improve the security around Portsmouth Football Club. The club contacted them to specify products that could be installed around the area between the club car park and the ground perimeter, and Warren Commercial Fencing chose Alexandra Security to manufacture and supply the fencing and gates.The requirements of the job meant that all metal fencing and gates had to be powder coated in the club colours, in this case RAL 5002 Ultramarine Blue was chosen. The first part of the project involved created a secure perimeter between the area where fans enter the ground and the car park. A run of 2.4m high Protek Palisade fencing in excess of 200m was installed using dig-in posts. Protek Palisade was chosen over traditional metal palisade due to its increased strength and cost-effectiveness.Attached to this fencing run were two 2.4m high Protek Palisade gates, both powder-coated in RAL 5002. These were hung on posts to allow them to only open inwards. This creates access points for fans to get into the stadium on match days.The second part of the install was around the match-day ticket office. This required that the Protek Palisade run be carried on around the ticket office, with a double-leaf palisade gate fitted as access. This was hung to allow it to be opened outwards, and included a pad-lockable slide latch.Upon completion, the Portsmouth Football Club now have a new perimeter security system that will last for many years and provide regular access control for fans and staff on match days.Full information on our Palisade range can be found here.

Potash Farm, located west of Milton Keynes, is a 5MW solar energy site developed by RO Energy as part of their expanding portfolio of renewable infrastructure projects across the UK. Spanning 20 acres and generating enough clean electricity to power approximately 1,800 homes each year, the site contributes to an annual reduction of around 2,300 tonnes of carbon emissions. Designed with dual-purpose land use in mind, the farm not only delivers sustainable energy but also provides a safe, biodiverse environment for wildlife, with the space beneath the panels suitable for wildflower growth or light grazing.Alexandra Security was selected to supply perimeter fencing for the project, working in partnership with fencing contractor Naio Environmental. With incidents of solar farm crime increasing, and Potash Farm’s rural location making it a potential target for opportunistic and organised theft, a robust and long-term perimeter security solution was essential. High-value infrastructure—including PV panels, copper cabling and inverters—required protection, while environmental and planning sensitivities meant the fencing also needed to be sympathetic to the landscape.To meet these needs, a combination of 1,200 metres of 2.4-metre-high SolarGard Orbit and 200 metres of 2.4-metre-high SolarGard Aurora was supplied. SolarGard Orbit was installed along the majority of the perimeter, offering a balance of strong security features and low visual impact. It was supplied in RAL 6005 Moss Green to blend with the surrounding vegetation. In higher-risk areas where enhanced protection was required, SolarGard Aurora was used. Two twin-wire double-leaf security gates—measuring 6 metres and 3 metres wide—were installed at key access points. These matched the Aurora system to ensure a consistent, secure finish throughout the site.While the site is not in a known high-crime area, its rural setting and valuable assets meant traditional stock or deer fencing would not offer sufficient deterrence. In light of the rise in solar farm-related crime, RO Energy made the decision to invest in purpose-designed security fencing to help ensure the long-term safety and reliability of the installation. With a projected lifespan of 40 years, the SolarGard fencing system provides durable, low-maintenance protection that will serve the site throughout its operational life. The result is a solar farm that not only delivers clean energy to UK homes but does so within a secure and future-ready perimeter.At Alexandra, we support solar farm developers and operators in specifying the right perimeter fencing for their sites. Our team has extensive experience in the renewables sector, is well-versed in current security guidelines, and works closely with a trusted network of installers. If you’re planning a solar farm or battery storage facility and require a security fencing solution, get in touch with us today.

Instavolt’s new Superhub rapid EV charging station in Winchester, Hampshire, was designed to provide a modern, convenient destination for electric vehicle drivers. The site features ultra-fast EV charging points, an on-site Starbucks coffee shop, and an integrated solar farm – helping drivers recharge both their vehicles and themselves.To support the hub’s renewable energy infrastructure, a dedicated solar energy installation and battery storage compound were constructed. These high-value energy assets required reliable, robust protection to prevent unauthorised access and ensure site safety – while also respecting the visual aesthetics of the surrounding commercial development.Our customer, who was contracted to deliver the fencing for this new-build site, required a solution that met the necessary security requirements of solar farms and battery storage sites, while also delivering a clean, visually appealing finish appropriate for a publicly accessible location.The Solution: Fencing for Solar and Battery Storage SecurityWe supplied two fencing systems designed specifically for the differing needs of the solar array and the battery storage area:Solar Farm Security FencingTo secure the perimeter of the solar farm, we supplied 325 metres of 1.8m high Protek 656 Clip twin-wire mesh fencing in RAL 9005 (black). This fencing system is a proven choice for solar farm perimeter security, offering durability, anti-climb protection, and a neat, low-profile appearance. The installation also included two 3m wide double-leaf vehicle access gates, allowing for easy site maintenance access.Battery Storage Compound FencingFor the battery storage fencing behind the Starbucks building, we provided 130 metres of 2.4m high SolarGard Pulsar Plus mesh and timber fencing. This dual-purpose system offered high security and effective visual screening – helping the compound blend into the landscape while protecting critical infrastructure. The fencing included double-leaf access gates for vehicles and pedestrian single-leaf gates fitted with digital locks and protective shrouds for enhanced access control.The Result: Secure, Aesthetic Fencing for Renewable Energy InfrastructureThe fencing systems delivered a successful balance of form and function:Robust perimeter security for sensitive renewable energy assetsAesthetic integration with the site’s high-traffic, public-facing environmentLow-maintenance, long-term performance tailored to the specific site requirementsBy combining the Protek 656 Clip mesh fencing with the SolarGard Pulsar Plus system, the project team achieved full perimeter protection across both the solar farm and battery storage facility, supporting the safe and reliable operation of this key renewable energy site.Partnering on Renewable Energy SecurityThis project highlights how tailored fencing solutions can play a vital role in supporting the expansion of EV charging infrastructure and renewable energy sites across the UK.At Alexandra, we work closely with renewable energy developers, contractors, and EPCs to specify and supply secure, compliant, and cost-effective perimeter fencing for solar farms, battery storage systems, and other clean energy installations.
