Nottingham City Hospital Security Upgrade

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:

  • LPS 1175 B3 (SR2)-rated palisade fencing

  • 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.

The system offered a strong combination of certified security performance and structural resilience, making it well-suited for a critical healthcare facility.

Key elements of the solution included:

  • Supply of the Lochrin Combi™ SL2 palisade system

  • Independent LPS 1175 B3 (SR2) certification

  • Compatibility with the required 3m and 4m heights

Specialist gate handling

To support the installation contractor, Corden provided:

  • Hiab offload services

This approach significantly reduced installation risk while improving efficiency on site.

  • Accurate specification and product selection

  • Close coordination with Lochrin Bain

  • Reliable logistics and delivery scheduling

  • Safe positioning of heavy security gates
