Services » Drugnet

"an effective mesh that provides a discreet and impenetrable barrier that protects the premises from drugs and contraband landing inside sensitive areas"

The use of the Drugnet system is one of the most effective and long lasting ways of proofing exercise yards and other areas against the influx of drugs and contraband to the inside areas of prisons. The system consists of a 3mm stainless steel perimeter straining cable, which is supported normally by stainless steel fixings drilled into the structure at regular centres. The cable is tensioned using a high quality grade 316 stainless steel M8 barrel strainers and the net securely attached to it by stainless steel hog rings.

Heavy-duty M6 and M8 stainless steel netbolts are used in the corners or where points of abnormal stress occur. Intermediate fixings generally consist of 50mm stainless steel split pins inserted into 50mm nylon anchor rivets, or a HiltiHA8 zinc plated metal hanger on larger netting systems. Where we are fixing into cladding systems we are able to use a 25mm x 25mm right-angled passivated bracket or a 40mm x 40mm plastic injection moulded base to avoid penetrating the surface material.

Stainless steel brackets are bespoke manufactured to any design to ensure the Drugnet is installed effectively, poles may be used to support large span systems using galvanised poles manufactures to home office specifications up to 9m's in height and are smooth in construction for security purposes.

The netting is constructed from high density ultra-violet stabilised knotted 12/6 polyethylene being chemically inert and rot proof in addition to offering a high resistance to a wide range of chemical and environmental conditions. The result is a high quality tensioned Drugnet sealing the perimeter area and preventing gaps appearing. Drugnet is available in two mesh sizes and various colours depending on the physical surroundings and particular type of contraband been thrown into the prison and is fire retarded minimise fire damage.
