A case study of the installation by Security Access Systems of a barrier for one of their long-standing clients, a holiday park in Abersoch, North Wales. Any equipment would have to withstand the sun, salt sea and sand.
The barrier fitted by the Cheshire-based installation company was the FAAC B680. It replaced a barrier in use on the site for several years. The barrier cabinet eventually rusted through, due to high winds and salty conditions. The FAAC product was recommended by the security firm, due to its robust nature of manufacture, the availability of several finishes and the fact that they were able to offer their clients the option of replacing the cabinet, so that when the outer casing is affected by the elements, or damage or vandalism, the casing can be replaced, so that a proper finish is maintained, without the need to replace the mechanics of the barrier.
Sue Keelagher, Director of Security Access Systems said: “The B680 particularly stood out to us as the obvious choice, given that LED lights can be installed on the unit housing and along the five metre beam, adding additional safety elements to the install, given the low lighting conditions, along with the standard safety devices, and the compatibility with the existing access control system. While, the ability to update the cabinet ensures the barrier remains aesthetically pleasing for years to come.”
And Mrs G Eyton‐Jones from Bryn Cethin Bach Caravan Park, Abersoch, said: “We are delighted with our new FAAC barrier, which has been installed by Security Access Systems. The lighting, appearance and reliability has proved a great success with ourselves and customers.”
