A local authority in Ireland was seeking perimeter system to monitor pedestrian and vehicular entry into a landfill site. A challenge was not only in the size of the site, but its location, where debris, wildlife and extreme weather could cause false alarms. The answer needed to be robust and reliable, protecting the public from risk and preventing the theft of valuable assets such as plant. Also in question was how quickly the products needed to be installed since the site was being built and nearing completion: it needed to run as quickly as possible with minimal site disruption. Further challenges lay both in the varying topography of the site and the potentially hazardous materials present.
Managers at Southern Ireland local authority turned to Byrne Overall Security Solutions (BOSS) to design and install an appropriate system, and BOSS in turn worked with Dublin-based Reliable Security Products, for product advice and project support.
Dermot Bresilin at Reliable specified the OPTEX BoundaryGard iSeries battery-powered wireless active beam detectors. He said: “The cost and practicalities of using a hard-wired system was simply not an option, and so we chose the new iSeries wireless system as a highly reliable but far less expensive solution. “As groundworks were not required, installation was completed by BOSS within weeks rather than months, disruption on site was kept to a minimum, project costs were controlled and deadlines met well ahead of schedule. The customer is extremely satisfied with the performance of the system to date, as are we.”
Paul Nicholas, OPTEX Divisional Manager added: “With no expensive cables to run, and no civil works or digging of trenches, the OPTEX BoundaryGard iSeries proved to be the ideal choice. It means that even the most remote locations, where only essential services power is available, can now benefit from the reliability inherent within all of OPTEX’s detection technologies.”
