SAFE and secure
Security at Britomart East is controlled by a SpeedStile entrance control system, supplied by Gunnebo Australia
Ensuring the security of both staff and visitors to a large building needs to be balanced with convenience and the presentation of a welcoming front entrance.
Gunnebo Australia has supplied its latest high-tech security system in the form of the Gunnebo SpeedStile entrance control system for the main foyer of the buildings in the Britomart East complex. SpeedStiles provide a closed walkway that will only open on acceptance of an authorised signal. The barriers are aesthetically pleasing and provide the building with a high level of security and functionality. They are easily operable by the building's security provider and they facilitate entrance for people with disabilities.
Andrew Wilson, Gunnebo's general manager for entrance control, says, "The SpeedStile mechanism, which is virtually silent when operating, features a drive unit with a DC Motor that works in conjunction with a bidirectional encoder. A microprocessor control system guarantees the precise movement and positioning of the retracting glass doors." The system detects an unauthorised passage, at which time the doors are closed and an in-built alarm activates.
Gunnebo entrance control products, which are manufactured in the UK, are customised to suit each location. They feature in corporate buildings, airports, mass transit systems, sports stadia, leisure and entertainment venues, supermarkets and retail outlets.
