Project Type

High-Security Prison Fencing

Location

Rochester, UK

Sector

The Background

Procter Contracts was commissioned to upgrade an underused area of HMP Rochester to accommodate increasing capacity while maintaining the highest security standards.

The brief required:

  • A solution to secure a high-risk area

  • Robust fencing that deters climbing, cutting, and unauthorized access

  • Compliance with MOJ specifications and optional Secured by Design standards

We recommended 358 prison mesh fencing, renowned for its anti-climb design, durability, and excellent through-visibility, ensuring maximum protection while enabling effective surveillance.

The Solution

Procter Contracts designed, supplied, and installed a combination of our highest-security fencing products, providing a secure and lasting safety solution for HMP Rochester:

  • High Security: Anti-climb, welded steel mesh panels ensure superior protection

  • Through-Visibility: Allows easy monitoring of perimeter areas

  • Prevents Passing Through: Fine mesh design enhances security

  • Durable & Customisable: Panels available in multiple heights (2.0m–6.0m) and RAL colours

  • Secured by Design Option: Optional certification for additional security assurance

The result is a fully contained, high-risk area that addresses previous security concerns, providing confidence for both staff and management.

Key challenges included:

  • Repurposing underused areas without compromising overall prison security

  • Ensuring compliance with MOJ specifications and high-risk environment requirements

  • Installation coordination in an operational prison environment

Through close collaboration with HMP Rochester and ISG, our team overcame these challenges, delivering a solution that met functional, security, and operational goals.

The Result or Feedback

The installation of 358 prison mesh fencing provided:

  • Fully secure containment of previously underutilized areas

  • Enhanced surveillance and monitoring capability

  • Compliance with MOJ specifications and Secured by Design options
