Hampden continues to lead the way for safety

Hampden is proud to announce that as an added safety measure on all automated swing gates we will be adding a high quality 859A/400 'Fall Arrest Cable' which is rated to 1.8T.

Should damage be caused to the gateway (most often when a trucks hits the gate post or gate) resulting in a failed gate hinge the fall arrest cable will prevent the gate from falling and either causing damage to property, or worse still injury or death for a pedestrian.
Our gate hardware supplier believes that no other gates in New Zealand have ever had this type of safety feature installed which means Hampden Fence can safely say that it offers the safest gates in the business!

Auckland Zoo Exotic Bird Holding Area

In 2015 Hampden Fence was re-approached by the team at Auckland Zoo to assist with another specialist animal enclosure project: the fabrication and installation of an exotic bird holding area within the new exotic bird aviaries.

Hampden was engaged to fabricate the steelwork for the enclosure using its in-house fabrication capabilities, which the Zoo has used extensively on previous other projects.

Hampden had regular contact with main contractor Q Construction, the Zoo and its keepers, to detail the design as it developed and evolved. This ensured the end result was fit for purpose and exactly what the Zoo required:

• Custom fabricated steel enclosure framing

• Specialist bird netting

• Lockable swing gates to match the overall aesthetics of the enclosure

• Installation management
