safe passage

In a security-conscious business, controlling who has access to your building is a prime concern. When it is equally important that your business projects an inclusive and welcoming environment, choosing a system that reconciles strict security measures with the look of general admittance is key.

Such was the case for IAG when it was looking for a security access solution for the NZI Centre. The answer was the Gunnebo SpeedStile, says business line manager site protection, Andrew Wilson.

"Gunnebo was contracted to supply and install security barriers for the main foyer. The barriers needed to be aesthetically pleasing, easily operable by the building's security provider, and facilitate entrance for people with disabilities.

"The Gunnebo SpeedStile is a popular and proven solution. The stainless steel and glass finish provides a modern and clean look, which many businesses favour, and its electronic control allows for two-way passage," says Wilson.

The Gunnebo SpeedStile has a microprocessor that can adjust opening and closing speeds, just one of the advantages of the product, making it ideal for any high-traffic area, says Wilson.

"Safety photocells prevent the panels from closing on an obstruction. Should the normal panel operation be arrested, the controlling logic detects an abnormal condition and reverses.

"Similarly, if an unauthorised person attempts to enter, the system detects the unapproved passage and activates the in-built alarm system."
