Most security issues on commercial and industrial sites start at the entrance rather than at the more traditional points like where a window has been broken or a fence has been breached. Risky situations occur where a vehicle should not have been, or an unauthorized person was not stopped from entering the premises. While not fully eliminating the risks, electronic gates and barriers serve to protect the entrance from more easily ignored access points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Most commercial insurers look for evidence of controlled access as part of their underwriting criteria. An automated gate with access control and event logging fulfills their requirements. This is something to consider before the renewal window opens and the discussions become more costly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Access Control Solutions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Our products range from sliding gates, rising arm barriers, to full height turnstiles, and the best fit will be determined at the site. Considerations like ground conditions, power availability, estimated daily vehicle traffic, opening width, and if the entrance will also be used by pedestrians should all be addressed by a thorough site survey before any product specifications are made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We do not come to a site with a predetermined solution to fit and retrofit the site around it. Some installations can be done quickly and cleanly, while others will require site prep. Better to know that before we start than to be reacting to it as we go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If an automated gate is tough to use and gets propped open, that doesn’t solve the security problem; it just creates a costly problem. The appropriate balance should be made between security and accessibility through the use of gate fob, entry keypad, intercom, vehicle loop detection, and app controls. For example, a distribution yard that has continuous movement of heavy goods vehicles will require a different configuration compared to a gated commercial office with a small and regular workforce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That is something that we will discuss with you before making any recommendations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Commercial installation is not residential installation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Residential gate automation uses a different category of products. Commercial and industrial gates are expected to make far more closing and opening cycles, often with less tolerance to downtimes, and in more challenging environments. This results in a more robust requirements for both the equipment and the installation, and that is what we provide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Just part of something larger<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A gate alone does a job, but a gate integrated with alarm monitoring, and camera surveillance does a lot more. If you are already engaging with us for site security, it is very easy to add gate automation. If you are starting from scratch, we have the flexibility to plan the entire site instead of just the entrance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tell us what your site is like<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The scope and cost of gate and barrier projects can vary significantly. The only honest way to provide a practical ballpark figure is to understand the problem you are working with. Reach out and we can go from there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Most security issues on commercial and industrial sites start at the entrance rather than at the more traditional points like where a window has been broken or a fence has been breached.
