Gates & Vehicle Access

A vehicle gate is part of the access system, not a separate island. We install the gate operator, the readers and intercoms drivers use, and licence-plate cameras, and connect them to the same credentials as your doors.

The final scope follows the drawings, the site walk and what each trade supplies.

One entry, several systems

A typical vehicle entrance carries a reader, an intercom for visitors and a licence-plate camera, all on the same pedestal or pole. We plan them together, with the conduit and power they share, so the gate is built once.

Questions

Can the gate use the same cards as our building doors?
Yes. Gate readers can run on the same access system as your doors, so people are added and removed in one place.
What do you install at a gate?
The gate operator and its control wiring, the readers, the intercom stations and the licence-plate cameras, all on the same access system as your doors. Fabrication, trenching and civil work are done by those trades, and we coordinate with them.
