Atlantic House located on the western fringe of the city of London, is the UK headquarters of global law firm Hogan Lovells. Hogan Lovells have been in the building since 2001 and recently
undertook a refurbishment project to ensure the space met the future needs of their business
As part of the refurbishment an improved entrance control solution was required, to secure the buildings entrances and detect any tailgating attempts. Due to the high number of employees and visitors entering and exiting the building on a daily basis, the solution needed to be robust and able to efficiently cope with the high level of footfall, whilst securing the building from unauthorised visitors.
Following discussions between the project team and Total Security Protection, the system integrators on the project, Meesons were put forward as a premium supplier of secure entrance control in the Grade A Office sector.
After the project team and Total Security Protection visited a previous installation of Meesons Speed Gates, Meesons were chosen as the preferred supplier.
The client wanted to upgrade their existing Speed Gate solution at three locations within the building to improve the secure flow of staff and visitors. To cope with the high level of footfall through the buildings reception, five lanes of EasyGate SPD-G were installed, creating a secure line to the lift lobby and preventing access to unauthorised personnel. With its innovative motor drive technology allowing the transit of up to 40 people per minute, the SPD was the ideal solution to cope with the high numbers of staff and visitors transiting through the reception on a daily basis. To complement the receptions interior, the Speed Gates were provided in a brushed stainless steel finish blending seamlessly with the lift lobby and the receptions’ stunning water fountain.
At the rear of the building the client wanted to create a secure entrance for members of staff to use. Three lanes of EasyGate SPT-G were installed to cope with the level of throughput. Due to the area being unmanned the Speed Gates and post mounted infill barriers were installed with 1800mm high glass to prevent any climb over attempts. To effectively manage the collection of visitor cards, a card collector was integrated into one of the cabinets, allowing visitors to easily return access cards when they leave the building.
Within the building there is a gym facility for staff to use, where the client wanted to install a Speed Gate solution that would provide controlled access. Due to the limited space available, Meesons proposed the EasyGate SG 1000 with its small footprint and slimline design which was ideal for the restricted space. The SG 1000 fitted perfectly between the reception desk and wall, creating a secure barrier to the gym facilities.
The finished Speed Gate installation has provided an increased level of security at the entrance points, enabling
the secure flow of staff and visitors through the building
Head of Facilities Services at Hogan Lovells commented;
“The Meesons barrier technology has certainly met our expectations. Their modern and sleek design visually
complements our entrance spaces and their technical operation has proved easy and efficient.”
