Perimeter protection for seafood site
THE SPECIALIST Perimeter Protection division of Hormann UK has recently completed an all-encompassing project at a new food processing plant in Warrington.
Lincolnshire based FBS Hörmann has provided a complete turn-key solution for the client, incorporating gates, barriers, access control systems and fencing, with the project being completed over a four-week installation period.
The new 167,000 sq ft facility which has been built for a major seafood wholesaler will house processing, cold storage, and distribution, alongside serving as their new head office.
The project consisted of the installation of a large bi-folding security gate at the main entrance to the site. Spanning a width of 10 meters, the FBS Hörmann team recommended the use of a bifold over a more conventional gate to accommodate the slightly restricted access onto the site. With the leaves of the gate retracting completely behind the gateposts, the bi-fold gate provides HGV’s entering the site with maximum vehicle clearance. The gate has been fitted with access control equipment including ANPR and a dual height intercom system.
Two further, smaller bi-fold gates have also been installed further into the site and are controlled by a manned security cabin. Bi-fold gates offer operators the benefit of being reliable and almost silent in operation, whilst providing fast opening/closing speeds.
The staff car park has been fitted with an automatic rising barrier to regulate entry, which incorporates a comprehensive access control system also featuring ANPR and intercom. The site has been fully enclosed and protected by over 300 meters of security fencing.
