Securing Riviera's apartment and townhouse complex perimeters
Riviera is about 6 km south of Sandton City. In Riviera, security is often a shared responsibility along the perimeter of an apartment block or townhouse complex. These established boundary walls, running along roads like Riviera Road and Anerley Road, protect dozens of homes at once. A fault caused by an overhanging branch from a mature garden or a problem at an entrance gate does not just affect one owner; it compromises security for the entire body corporate.
Our approach for Riviera's sectional title schemes is to make sure the system is reliable and manageable. We often recommend splitting long perimeters into multiple zones to pinpoint faults quickly. We check that the energiser and battery can support the entire fence through power outages, and make sure automated gates are correctly wired to prevent shocks to residents and visitors. Proper clearance from established trees and shrubs is a priority to reduce false alarms.
When a unit in a Riviera complex is sold, the electric fence certificate is typically asked for before transfer. As the certificate covers the shared perimeter, it is issued to the body corporate, not the individual owner. Selling agents should request a copy from the managing agent. If the fence has been altered since the last certificate was issued, the body corporate will need a new one. Tyson is registered with the Department of Employment and Labour as an electric fence installer and proof of registration is available on request.
Everything we install and repair, and how a job runs from first call to handover, is on our electric fencing page.
Questions from Riviera
Our complex has an existing fence certificate, but we've just replaced the energiser. Do we need a new one?
Yes. A major alteration like installing a new energiser requires a new Electric Fence System Certificate. This new certificate will be issued to the body corporate and will cover the entire perimeter.
I'm selling an apartment in Riviera. Does my client need to get their own fence certificate?
No, the individual owner does not arrange it. In a sectional title scheme, the certificate covers the entire perimeter and is held by the body corporate. You should ask the managing agent for a copy early in the sale process.
