For its £200m Derby Station Project compound, the track and signalling operator Network Rail had a compound where all the works were organised, where all staff and engineers came and went from. Access to and from project site was via the compound, and temporary site offices, welfare units and storage were within.
Network Rail site managers had to handle assisted viewings and temporary access, besides key losses, and lock changes. Loxal used its range of secure temporary access control products that offer access, and monitor and audit not only steel security doors, but key safes, gate locks, locking bars and lock conversions. Loxal’s IDACS (Intelligent digital access control system) was used at the Derby site, as the products require no mains power but deliver performance and data you may expect to find on a hard-wired access control system, the product manufacturer says.
The system can operate up to 200 unique user access codes, emergency codes, guard codes and site shut down codes, and all products can be integrated into a video verified remote alarm system.
Because IDACS is remote, wireless access control management software, it enabled specific users at Derby to gain access and be identified on site. The IDACS products meant a keyless compound, eliminating the previous concerns.
Face Fix Key Lock Box units were installed on two site admin offices, both of which needed to be locked when not occupied, and IDACS codes were then issued to all staff members who required and had access rights to the offices. This meant that staff no longer had to carry keys or access keys as and when required.
