Lee Group Defcon Security Fencing is in the final stages of a major development and upgrade at Barwon Prison in Anakie. This project has been underway for approximately eight months and has involved a number of different security fencing products.

One challenge was to design and fabricate a very large access gate to enter the prison. This automatic gate is approximately 6 metres high x 10 metres wide, with anti-climb ductor installed on the top of the gate.

The project also involved installing:

Unique security locks into access gates
Installing 358 anti-climb mesh on all cell roofs – A premium security fencing product and is used in many other prisons
Securing service areas and yards with fencing and gates
High security gates
Fence panels and roofs

Due to the high security aspects and requirements of this project, Lee Group worked closely with Access Security Folger detention equipment.
