Construction sites have a significant environmental footprint, from material waste to carbon emissions.
As sustainability becomes increasingly important in the construction industry, project managers are seeking solutions that deliver both security and environmental benefits.
Temporary fencing represents a crucial opportunity to reduce environmental impact whilst maintaining the safety and security standards your site demands.
At Panthera, we’re proud to offer a revolutionary temporary fencing solution, EnviroFence™. This system is the ideal solution for project managers looking to reduce their construction site’s environmental impact.
Why does conventional mesh temporary fencing fall short?
Traditional temporary fencing systems, particularly lightweight mesh options like Heras-style fencing, create substantial environmental challenges for construction sites. These systems typically rely on single-use components that end up in landfill after project completion. Their lightweight nature can also cause weaknesses in perimeter security, potentially allowing unauthorised access.
Environmental problems with standard solutions
The recent Temporary Works Forum guidance (TWf2024:01) highlights that standard mesh temporary fencing has significant limitations beyond environmental concerns. These temporary fence panels offer minimal security and struggle with weather conditions, leading to frequent repairs and replacements that compound their environmental impact.
Conventional fence panels also require extensive accessories like sandbags for stabilisation, creating additional waste streams. The chain link and wire fence components often use non-recyclable materials that contribute to construction site waste problems.
EnviroFence™: strong, secure, and environmentally friendly
EnviroFence™ is a revolutionary approach to temporary fencing that addresses both security and environmental concerns. As the first temporary fence system in the UK certified as Net Zero Carbon, it demonstrates how construction sites can achieve robust perimeter security without compromising environmental goals.
EnviroFence™ offers:
- Net Zero Carbon certification with site-specific carbon embodiment reports
- 100% reusable components creating a closed-loop system
- Durable construction engineered to permanent fence standards (BS 1722-14:2019)
- Recyclable materials at end of life cycle
- Reduced transport emissions through longer-lasting installations
The system’s durability means fewer replacements during harsh weather conditions, whilst its modular design allows for easy reconfiguration across different projects. Unlike portable fence panels that require frequent maintenance, EnviroFence™ maintains its integrity throughout extended usage periods.
EnviroFence™: outstanding technical performance
- Resists wind and pedestrian loading up to 0.74kN/m
- Factor of Safety (FoS) of 1.5 against sliding and overturning
- Available in 2.4m, 3.0m, and 3.6m heights
- Compatible with various mesh types and security accessories
Creating secure, safe, and environmentally friendly sites
EnviroFence™ transforms how construction sites approach perimeter security whilst supporting environmental objectives. The system’s flexibility accommodates diverse site requirements, from crowd control at outdoor events to high-security applications requiring perimeter security.
Ground support options:
- Low carbon 350kg EnviroBloK™ system
- Spirafix™ ground screws for minimal ground disturbance
- Compatibility with existing concrete blocks to reduce waste
Versatile applications:
- Construction site perimeter security
- Livestock containment with appropriate mesh options
- Temporary boundaries for outdoor events
- Crowd control installations
The system’s modular nature means you can adjust configurations without replacing entire sections, reducing both costs and environmental impact. Whether you need standard wire fence applications or specialised portable fencing solutions, EnviroFence™ adapts to your requirements.
Additional environmental features:
- LED lighting options reduce energy consumption
- Cable management systems minimise material waste
- Comprehensive recycling programme for end-of-life components
- Detailed carbon reporting supports project sustainability goals
