Clarke Instruments working in partnership with Alternative Systems Protection have just completed phase two of a project for a prestigious client in Scotland.

The requirement was for turnstiles, pedestrian gates and infill panels offering a higher level of security, coupled with strict access control. The solution had to be tailored to fit an existing aperture in the fence line.

An existing product was modified to reduce the gap between rotor blades to meet the enhanced security requirements, whilst increasing both the height and width of the standard turnstile and pedestrian gate. In addition rotor spies were required to meet ant-climb requirements.

The result was an integrated solution specific to the needs of the client.

The overall height of the turnstile was increased to 2.4 metres whilst maintaining the strength and integrity of the product. The gate had both increased height and width which enabled a clear opening of 1.2 metres.

As the equipment was to be located in a harsh environment the decision was made to produce the turnstiles gate and infills in a high grade stainless steel.

Clarke Instruments’ engineers worked closely with the customer at all times making certain that they interpreted their needs correctly. This enabled them to ensure the project was completed on time and within the agreed budget.
