School Electric Gates and Barriers - A Green Solution

23rd March 2010

With several years of experience within the education environment, Solar Gates have implemented solar security at schools across the UK.

Solar Gates UK Ltd work with schools to assess the risks and take sensible, well considered steps to mitigate them.

From a simple code controlled side gate to automating the main entrance gates or installing a complete barrier system, there is a solar solution to every security need.

Schools' perimeter security represents a real challenge due to the sheer volume of visitors at peak times, and the need to carefully control access throughout the teaching day.

Often these factors seem at odds with one another, but schools must at least assess and mitigate the risks to pupils of unauthorised entry to the school's premises.

Often the main cost of a perimeter security solution are the groundworks involved to bring power to the school boundary.

Using solar energy eliminates this cost and makes a solar powered security gate or barrier project considerably less than installing an electrically powered alternative.

The busiest UK solar barrier operates over 500 times per day in the winter, but each solar panel is individually calculated for the location and usage to ensure all year round operation.

Managing the access control to a site is the most important element to get right for the specific needs of the individual school.

Using the latest communication and safety equipment, each installation is customised to the specific requirements of the site.

That may be intercom control at certain times of the day, free exit to known users, swipe card entry, dial to open from known mobiles, pedestrian access over-ride, automatic opening times, or a combination of many access controls.

The most important benefit of a solar powered security system is that there are no running costs. A perfect solution to the security needs of your pupils.
