After the success of the Glastonbury Festival in 2002, Europe’s biggest outdoor music event was given the green light once again for 2003. Last year Glastonbury Festivals signed a four-year contract with Eve Trakway, which will see the country’s most talked about perimeter fence return this year. The formidable super fence, which includes an extension to last year’s fence, stands at 4m high and over 7km long, comprises of overhangs to prevent climbing, an attached external roadway to prevent tunnelling and no nuts and bolts to prevent the fence from being dismantled.

The immense project involves a team of 16 people working on-site for 12 weeks amounting to over 14,000 man-hours in total to complete, involving transportation, installation and recovery. Due to the huge quantity of access products required for the event, the logistical operations have been on an extremely large scale with approximately 180 articulated lorry movements between the site and Eve Trakways’s central depot over the 12-week project period.
