No More Waiting at the School Gates
FAAC 400 SWING GATE OPERATORS have been used to automate the main entrance/exit gates for pedestrian and vehicle access to Roselands Primary School in Hertfordshire. The new gate system is equipped with a range of safety devices to minimise the risk to users, while ensuring the school remains a safe and secure environment for its staff and pupils. Darwin Security was called in to replace the existing entrance/exit gate system due to structural movement caused by the heavy clay soil base. To avoid future movement, the new FAAC operated gates have been installed with an underground I beam connecting all the vehicular and pedestrian gate posts together.
Director of Darwin Security, Spencer Russell, explains why the FAAC 400 swing gate operator was chosen for this application: "Due to the sloping ground level and the size of the gates, we required a powerful and robust operator. We specified the FAAC 400 hydraulic operator as it can move gates up to 7 metres in length and has a reputation for high performance and longevity."
