Metrorail fence: (Uranium Road)

The CID has completed 650m of the flat wrap razor wire at the top and bottom of the Metrorail fence including angle iron at the bottom of the fence. The remainder 245m will be completed in the new year.

The CID experienced problems with people entering the area behind Chris Steytler in Uranium Road and burning copper wires under the bridge. This was also an escape route for criminals. The CID erected a fence (17m) and enclosed this section with 2m high beta fence panels, including flat wrap razor wire at the top and bottom of the fence.

Please see attached “before” and “after” photographs of this section:
