Lochrin Combi™ SL2 System Delivered by Corden Group
Background
Nottingham City Hospital required an upgrade to its perimeter security infrastructure to strengthen site protection while maintaining uninterrupted hospital operations.
The project called for a high-security fencing system capable of delivering certified protection, long-term durability, and reliable access control within a sensitive healthcare environment.
To meet these requirements, the installation contractor partnered with Corden Group, who sourced the appropriate high-security solution from specialist manufacturer Lochrin Bain.
Challenge
The hospital required a perimeter system that met strict security standards while being installed safely within a live operational environment.
Key project requirements included:

- Fence heights of 3m and 4m
- Heavy-duty LPS 1175-rated security gates
- A durable system capable of providing long-term protection
- Installation that minimised disruption to hospital activity
The project also presented practical installation challenges. Several of the security gates exceeded 300kg, requiring specialist handling to ensure compliance with LOLER regulations and to protect installers working within a busy hospital site.
Solution
To meet the specification, Corden Group recommended the Lochrin Combi™ SL2 system, manufactured by Lochrin Bain.
