Hafan Y Coed Mental Health Unit

When a new mental health unit planned to provide a safe and secure environment for their patients and staff, CLD Fencing Systems and a Littlewood Fencing were asked to design, manufacture and supply the perfect solution for this project.

Hafan Y Coed (Haven of Trees) Mental Health Unit at the University Hospital Llandough opened the doors of their £ 88 million facility back in 2016 offering patients a modern, therapeutic and recovery-focused unit.

Powell Dobson and Laing O’Rouke designed and constructed the detailed mental health unit, and in order to match the level of safety of the building, their hospital security fencing needed to encourage privacy and security throughout.

The Brief

Security of patients and staff was paramount when understanding the brief for the new perimeter fence line and security access control. The following requirements were set out to maintain their security needs:

• Create a safe and secure environment for staff and patients by implementing high security perimeter fencing.
• Feature anti-climb, anti-cut and anti-ligature properties for both fencing and gate solutions.
• Provide privacy screens for specific areas of the unit to promote recovery.
• Manufacture 18 gate solutions for easy access for staff through the entire site.
