Project Overview

Water treatment facilities require reliable perimeter fencing to protect pumping stations, treatment equipment, chemical storage areas, maintenance zones, control buildings, and other restricted operational sections.

Because these facilities often cover large sites, the fencing system must provide a practical balance between security, visibility, corrosion resistance, installation efficiency, and total project cost.

For a new municipal water treatment plant development, the project contractor required a complete perimeter fencing system capable of protecting the facility while supporting vehicle access, employee entry, maintenance operations, and security monitoring.

After reviewing the project drawings, fence layout, access requirements, and technical specifications, BDFENCE supplied a customized Chain Link Fence system for the project.

The complete supply package included galvanized Chain Link Fence mesh, steel posts, reinforced corner posts, pedestrian gates, vehicle gates, fence fittings, tension components, and installation accessories.

Project Highlights

Customer Background

The customer was an EPC contractor responsible for civil works and external infrastructure for the water treatment plant.

The facility included:

• Water treatment buildings
• Pumping stations
