Grade A Office
CLIENT:
10 South Colonnade
LOCATION:
London
10 South Colonnade is a modern office development located in the heart of Canary Wharf, providing 560,000 sq ft of Grade A Office space. It now serves as a government hub housing multiple government departments.
Following a review of the building’s security measures and entrance control solutions, the client decided Speed Gates were required to securely manage the high number of transits, whilst creating a secure line to the building to prevent unauthorised access.
After reviewing the different entrance control solutions available, the client specified Meesons EasyGate SPT as the preferred solution.
With years of experience securing Government buildings and delivering custom Speed Gate solutions to Grade A Office spaces Meesons were chosen as the preferred supplier.
To cope with the high numbers of staff transiting through the building on a daily basis, Meesons installed fifteen lanes of EasyGate SPT-G, consisting of thirteen standard width lanes and two wide access lanes, across two entrances. To complete the secure line to the escalators and lift lobbies cabinet hung and post mounted infill were used to secure the space at the sides of the Speed Gates.
The EasyGate SPT-G was specified due to the quick opening and closing speed of the glass wing barriers, allowing the transit of up to 40 people per minute. The SPT Speed Gate also offers a holding force in excess of 650N, preventing the wings from being forced open by unauthorised users.
In order to prevent unauthorised users attempting to gain access by climbing over the Speed Gates and infill Barrier, 1800mm high glass wings were installed to act as a deterrent to intruders. The Speed Gates were provided in a brushed stainless steel finish with a black glass top lid to complement the design of the lift and escalator lobbies.
There was a requirement for the Speed Gates to be controllable from a central location, enabling reception staff to operate the Speed Gates when required. Meesons were able to deliver on this requirement by installing EasyTouch Control panels at the reception desk. To limit the amount of disruption during the installation a phased installation schedule was carried out.
Following the successful installation of the Speed Gates, Meesons were appointed to handle the ongoing service and maintenance of the Speed Gates.
The key challenge on this project was to deliver a Speed Gate solution that would securely manage the high level of
throughput on a daily basis, whilst creating a secure line to prevent unauthorised access. The EasyGate SPT-G Speed Gates have delivered on both of these requirements, providing a high level of protection against unauthorised access, whilst enabling the quick and secure flow of staff and visitors through the building, particularly during peak times.
