Temporary fencing service launches to support Tier 1 contractors and major infrastructure

To better support Tier 1 contractors and major infrastructure projects, Kennards Hire has launched its dedicated Temporary Fencing Solutions. The service is designed with dense urban sites in mind, where space constraints, public interface and wind exposure require a more engineered approach than traditional temporary fencing.

The company said their new compliance-led, end-to-end site service responds to increasing demand across construction, civil and rail sectors for temporary works that meet stringent safety and regulatory requirements, particularly in metro and pedestrian-heavy environments where fencing performance is critical.

“Temporary fencing is often treated as a commodity, but on today’s complex worksites it plays a critical role in safety, compliance and public protection,” said Ben Hitchen, Specialist General Manager at Kennards Hire. “We know that compliance isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. Wind exposure, site layout and pedestrian interaction all influence what’s required.

“We work with contractors to ensure the right rating and configuration is in place from the outset, removing uncertainty and reducing risk, while still delivering the reliable equipment and service that has always been at the heart of Kennards Hire. By working with project teams early, we can align the fencing solution to site conditions from the outset rather than retrofitting compliance later.”

The move into temporary fencing solutions takes Kennards Hire beyond traditional dry hire to deliver certified wind-rated systems, advisory support and integrated installation tailored to site-specific conditions, the company said.

Forming part of Kennards Hire’s broader approach to provide specialist, project-aligned solutions, while maintaining its core hire services, the company added that by integrating fencing with other site services, the organisation aims to enable contractors to consolidate suppliers, simplify mobilisation and gain greater certainty across long-term projects.

Key components of the service include:

• certified wind-rated fencing provided as standard — to support compliance assurance;
• advisory-led planning — to help determine appropriate system design for each site;
• integrated delivery and installation — to streamline mobilisation and reduce coordination risk; and
• flexible pricing models — suited to long-duration infrastructure and civil works.
   

To reflect growing industry recognition that temporary works must meet the same scrutiny as permanent infrastructure, Kennards Hire said the service will support large-scale projects nationally, with deployments across metropolitan and regional worksites.
