We were recently commissioned to design and install a robust, reliable automatic gate system at Carr Mill School in St. Helens. The school required a secure, user-friendly solution to manage vehicular access, with a strong emphasis on safety for pupils, staff, and visitors. Our team successfully delivered a full automation upgrade using the FAAC E145 control board paired with FAAC 400 hydraulic gate operators — a trusted choice for heavy-duty swing gates.
