Blaby Electrical recently completed a comprehensive access control system installation for Geary’s Bakery at their Barrow and Glenfield sites. This project focused on enhancing security and improving operational efficiency through the integration of advanced intercom and access control systems.
Scope of Work
Barrow Site Installations:
- Intercom System: Installed an intercom at the entrance, linked to two screens in the office. This setup allows office staff to see and communicate with visitors and remotely unlock the door, thereby enhancing security and convenience.
- Paxton Access Control System: Enhanced the existing Paxton access control system, which now manages over 10 doors. We reconfigured the system to align with the new layout and added three new doors to improve overall site security. This system, known for its reliability and scalability, was optimised to suit the new site layout at Barrow.
Glenfield Site Installations:
- Intercom System: Installed three gate intercoms at Glenfield, integrated with the VoIP phone system. Each button calls a specific office group, allowing staff to communicate with visitors and control gate access from their phones. This seamless integration ensures prompt responses from the appropriate personnel.
- Access Control System: Installed seven new access control doors to bolster security across the site. The installation of seven additional access control doors ensures comprehensive coverage and enhances the overall security infrastructure of the site.
Service Contract: We have established a service contract for both sites, ensuring regular testing and maintenance of all security components. This contract includes detailed service reports with recommendations for further improvements.
Challenges and Solutions
One of the primary challenges was integrating the new systems with the existing infrastructure without causing disruptions. At the Barrow site, we carefully planned the reconfiguration of the old access control system to ensure minimal downtime. At Glenfield, linking the intercoms to the VoIP system required precise calibration to ensure reliable communication.
Results and Benefits
The upgraded access control systems at both sites have significantly improved security and operational efficiency. Staff can now manage entry points more effectively, ensuring that only authorised individuals gain access. The intercom systems provide added convenience and safety, while the service contract guarantees ongoing support and system optimisation.
