Automatic Barrier Installation for a Dundee High School

Sector: Education | Focus: Automatic Barrier Installation, Client Specification, Efficient Delivery

Project Overview

CM Gates & Barriers was appointed to install a new automatic barrier system at a secondary school in Dundee. The client had already selected the barrier manufacturer and specification, so our role was to deliver the project exactly as required, coordinating everything from procurement through to installation and commissioning.

Although the overall programme took around four weeks to allow for equipment ordering and scheduling, our engineers completed the entire on site installation in just one day, keeping disruption to the school to an absolute minimum.

Key Challenges

Working within a live school environment always requires careful planning. The installation needed to be completed safely, efficiently and to the client’s exact specification, while providing reliable vehicle access for authorised users and maintaining a professional finish throughout.

Our Solution

By planning the project thoroughly before arriving on site, our team ensured everything was ready for a smooth installation day. Working to the client’s chosen specification, we installed:

• Ultimation automatic barrier
• Keypad access control for authorised entry
• Radar controlled free exit
• System commissioning and operational testing
• Neat cable management and professional finishing throughout

The result was a clean, reliable and fully integrated barrier system delivered in a single day’s installation.

Safety & Compliance

Every installation is completed in accordance with current safety standards and manufacturer requirements before being fully tested and commissioned. While this project was straightforward in its specification, it demonstrates something that’s equally important to commercial clients. We are happy to work with consultant, contractor or client specifications, delivering exactly what’s required while maintaining the same high standards of workmanship, professionalism and efficiency on every project.
