Vehicle Barrier Installation for The Arch G.U.M Clinic, Huyton
Elevating Security and Access Control at Wigan and Leigh College Performing Arts Department with Automatic Glass Turnstile
Client: The Arch G.U.M Clinic
Location: Huyton, Merseyside, United Kingdom
Completion Date: 09/06/17
Project Duration: 1 Week
System Design & Installation
The chosen solution was the FAAC 640 hydraulic barrier system featuring a 7-metre beam. This model was selected for its robust construction and proven performance in demanding commercial environments.
Key features of the system include:
- Anti-crush hydraulic safety technology
- Secure locking in both open and closed positions
- Manual release functionality for emergency access
Access Control Features
To manage visitor and delivery access, a Videx video intercom system was installed. This allows clinic staff at reception to visually verify and grant entry, ensuring controlled and secure access to the premises.
Vehicle Exit Solution
For efficient and safe exit from the car park, underground induction loops have been installed. These detect approaching vehicles and automatically trigger the barrier to open, enabling smooth traffic flow without requiring driver interaction.
An override key switch has also been incorporated, allowing manual control of the barrier when required.
Preferred Technology
The FAAC product range remains Mere UK’s preferred choice for gate and barrier installations due to its reliability, safety features, and suitability for commercial applications.
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.
