Vehicle Barrier Installation – Chester Council Offices

FAAC Vehicle Barrier Installation at Chester Council Offices

Mere UK completed the installation of a FAAC 640 automatic vehicle barrier at Chester West Council Offices, providing a robust solution for controlling vehicle access to the site.

FAAC Automatic Vehicle Barrier Installation

The installation incorporated a FAAC 640 barrier system, designed for frequent vehicle access applications where reliable and controlled entry is required. FAAC barrier systems are widely used at commercial premises, council facilities, car parks and other sites requiring effective management of vehicle movements. As part of the installation, Mere UK ensured that the automated barrier was installed with consideration for the applicable safety requirements for powered gates and barriers.

The project involved the installation of a FAAC 640 automatic vehicle barrier to provide controlled vehicle access at Chester West Council Offices.

Designed for demanding vehicle access applications, the FAAC 640 provides a durable automated barrier solution suitable for commercial premises, car parks, public-sector facilities and other locations where vehicle movements need to be effectively controlled.

Completion Date: 09/10/17

Project Duration: 1 Week

Scope of the Vehicle Barrier Installation

The works centred around the installation and commissioning of the FAAC 640 automatic vehicle barrier system at the council offices. As with Mere UK’s automatic gate and barrier installations, the completed system was installed with consideration for safe operation, reliability and the day-to-day vehicle access requirements of the premises.

The resulting installation provides the site with a dedicated automated means of controlling vehicle movement while using commercial-grade FAAC barrier equipment designed for frequent operation.


Automatic Vehicle Barrier Safety

Safety forms an important part of the installation and commissioning of automatic vehicle barriers. Powered barriers must be correctly installed and assessed to help ensure that foreseeable risks associated with the movement of the barrier are appropriately controlled.

Mere UK considers the applicable safety requirements when installing automated gates and barriers, with completed systems assessed as part of the commissioning and handover process.


Commercial Vehicle Barrier Installers

Mere UK installs, services and maintains automatic vehicle barriers for commercial premises, schools and colleges, healthcare facilities, industrial sites, business parks and public-sector organisations throughout the North West and across the UK.

From individual automatic barriers through to integrated vehicle access control systems, installations can be designed around the security, access and operational requirements of each premises.


Compliance & Safety

At Mere UK, all systems are designed and installed in full compliance with relevant regulations, including:

  • EU Machinery Directive 98/37/EC
  • EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC

This ensures that every installation meets the highest standards of safety and operational performance.
