Smart Innovation and Site-efficient Solutions to Any Scale – Delivered at Lowest Cost
The physical security of assets on infrastructure sites is reaching new levels of sophistication and technical challenge.
Utilities and other critical industries are systemically ‘hardening’ their operations, above and below ground, against identified risks of attack or infiltration by the criminal, saboteur or terrorist.
Not only are the challenges growing in scale, clients are also demanding even greater functionality, adaptability and speed of installation from security enclosures, access covers and associated products for protecting vital process, storage and distribution assets.
Above or below ground, new build or retrofit, small or large: Technocover has unmatched design, production and installation capabilities to deliver right-first-time, lowest cost solutions answering every physical protection challenge.‘Total Service’ providing Lowest Cost Solutions
How our ‘Total Service’ works to deliver the ‘lowest cost solution’:
- Early involvement and close collaboration with the project team ensures every opportunity to value-engineer and rigorously plan solutions. This ensures efficient, problem-free installation incurring minimum site impact and asset downtime.
- System design and manufacture is refined to address the full range of project considerations: identifying and resolving site access and installation constraints addressing health and safety and operational needs.
- 3D modelling allows design verification of standard and complex assemblies and coordination with the client design teams if required.
- Flexible build and installation options ensure most efficient solution to suit site logistics – from full factory build complete with M&E services, to part-built systems finished on site for ‘dropping’ over existing assets, or flat pack delivery for traditional installation.
- With advanced steel fabrication facilities and delivery fleet, we can take on complex and large offsite builds under Quality Management factory-controlled conditions. This reduces client/subcontractor costs while alleviating site safety and project management risks.
Lowest Cost in Practice No. 1:
Value Engineered UltraSecure Cover Installation
The client’s initial layout for this multiple-leaf access cover was overly complicated, with 14 inspection points and 8 personnel access points. Through early consultation with us, we were able to CAD model a much leaner solution, reconfiguring and value engineering the design to provide all required personnel, inspection and plant access without conflicts. This saw a reduction from 32 to 15 covers, resulting in a cost saving to the client in excess of 20%.

Lowest Cost in Practice No. 2:
Drop-on UltraSecure Enclosures
These UltraSecure enclosures reduced off-line time on security upgrades at this utilities site from around four weeks to just one day. The larger kiosk was designed to fit with minimal tolerance over the existing asset and with minimal extension of footprint, being assembled on site and craned over. Reducing installation time and operational downtime provides significant programme benefits – it removes the associated cost, health and safety, and security impacts when extended time is spent on the asset upgrade.

Lowest Cost in Practice No. 3:
Factory-built, Fully Fitted UltraSecure Enclosures
For this utilities project, four kiosks were pre-built and pre-fitted with electrical and heating and ventilation services, tested and certificated under factory-controlled conditions. Through early consultation and careful planning of equipment delivery, lifting and installation was completed in just three days, saving up to five days programme time. The kiosk build was completed under ISO9000 quality management at our Mid Wales factory, including service fit-out. With a 27sqm+ footprint and weighing 4.6 tonnes, the largest was engineered and constructed in two halves for simple bolt down and connection to site power.
Technocover’s LPCB approved mesh cages provide naturally vented security of plant and visibility of the asset at all times. With extensive size and accessory options, including operational compliant sliding doors, they are a cost- and time-efficient way to harden existing assets without dismantling structures and disrupting site operations.
Our UltraSecure LPCB mesh enclosures provide unlimited sizes within their certification scope: from a simple two-sided structure against an existing building, to a full, stand-alone, multi-sided structure with roof providing secure encapsulation of existing buildings or processes, inside and out.
