Government-grade perimeter security systems for NSW water utilities, power stations, data centres, and transport infrastructure assets.
Under the Security of Critical Infrastructure Act 2018 (Commonwealth), critical infrastructure asset owners in NSW must implement physical security measures commensurate with the assessed threat level of their site. Perimeter fencing is typically the first layer of a layered security defence, and its specification must balance deterrence, delay, and detection capabilities. Fencing and Landscaping Experts works directly with asset owners, their security consultants, and facilities managers to design and install perimeter systems that satisfy these obligations.
Our critical infrastructure perimeter experience covers water treatment plants, pumping stations, and reservoirs managed by Sydney Water and local councils; 132 kV and 330 kV electrical substations and transmission corridors; government data centres and communications facilities; rail and road transport infrastructure; and port and airport landside facilities. For each asset class, we select a fence specification — height, mesh aperture, post size, footing depth, and security topping — that aligns with the relevant Australian Standard and the asset owner's specific security design guide.
All critical infrastructure fencing projects include full project documentation: engineer-certified drawings, material test certificates (mill certifications), concrete footing records, photographic as-built documentation, and a maintenance manual. We provide a structured handover package suitable for inclusion in the asset management system. Post-installation, we offer scheduled inspection and maintenance programs to ensure the perimeter remains in compliant condition throughout its service life.

Questions about perimeter fencing for NSW critical infrastructure sites
Critical infrastructure perimeter fencing is guided by the Security of Critical Infrastructure Act 2018, AS 1725, and each asset owner's specific security design requirements. Water utilities and electricity networks have published security requirements that reference perimeter fencing standards.
Most critical infrastructure operators specify a minimum 2.4 m base fence, with security topping bringing total effective height to 3.0 m+. High-risk assets such as substations and water treatment plants often specify 3.0 m base plus razor wire for a total of 3.6 m+.
Yes. We work to approved switching programs with the network operator, ensure safe approach distances to live equipment, and use non-conductive materials where appropriate. All workers hold electrical safety training for working near HV equipment.
Yes. We hold a competitive price million public liability insurance, a competitive price million professional indemnity, and WorkCover NSW workers compensation. We provide SWMS, environmental management plans, and traffic management plans as required, and are registered with government procurement portals.
We install fence post and gate infrastructure designed to integrate with the site's existing access control system. We coordinate with your ICT or security systems contractor to ensure post positioning, cable conduit routing, and power supply points align with the access control design.
