We’re excited to share our recent work at a training yard near Swindon. This project showcases how Duralock’s fencing solutions can significantly enhance both the safety and appearance of a horse racing training yard.
Project Overview
The client chose Duralock due to our reputation as the most widely used fencing product by UK racecourses and our commitment to sustainability. Our fencing is crafted from eco-friendly materials, aligning with the client’s goal of improving their facility in a responsible and sustainable manner.
In early June, our UK Sales Manager, James Hill, visited the facility to assess the existing fencing. His detailed evaluation revealed that the old barriers needed replacement, and he measured the required quantity of rail accordingly. The goal was to improve safety and accessibility while modernising the track’s appearance.
As part of our commitment to excellence, we organised a pre-installation site visit, allowing our team to carefully assess the training yard’s specific needs and measure the existing setup. This visit ensured that the new fencing would be a perfect fit, both in terms of functionality and aesthetics.
The client chose Duralock for this project due to our comprehensive installation service, which ensured a swift and efficient upgrade with minimal disruption to the training yard’s operations. With a efficient 3-day installation time, the track remained largely accessible, allowing the yard to maintain its training schedule.
Additionally, we managed the disposal of the old materials, overseeing the entire process to minimise disruption to the training yard’s operations. This approach guarantees a smooth transition from the old barriers to the newly installed, state-of-the-art Duralock fencing.
