Multi-Site Automatic Barrier Servicing & Maintenance Across 11 Sites in Scotland

Sector: Commercial / Automotive | Focus: Automatic Barrier Servicing, Planned Maintenance, Multi-Site Asset Management

Project Overview

CM Gates & Barriers was appointed to deliver a planned servicing programme for one of Scotland’s largest automotive groups, responsible for maintaining automatic barriers and access control systems across multiple dealership locations.

Rather than treating each site as an individual call-out, we allocated a dedicated engineering team to complete the servicing programme over consecutive days, ensuring a consistent standard of workmanship, reporting, and client communication throughout the project.

Key Challenges

Managing a multi-site servicing programme required careful planning and coordination to ensure every location received the same high standard of service.

The project involved:

• Servicing 19 automatic barriers across 11 sites throughout Scotland in a week
• Maintaining multiple brands and models of automatic barriers
• Inspecting associated access control equipment
• Producing clear service reports for every asset
• Minimising disruption to busy dealership operations

Our Solution

Our engineers developed a structured servicing programme that enabled all sites to be completed efficiently while maintaining complete consistency across the portfolio.

The servicing programme included:

• Comprehensive inspection of all barrier systems
• Functional testing of barrier operation and safety devices
• Preventative maintenance to improve long-term reliability
• Inspection of associated access control equipment
• Detailed service reporting for every barrier
• Recommendations for any remedial works where required

Every site received the same professional service, regardless of the barrier manufacturer, installation or access control type.

Safety & Compliance Assurance

Regular servicing plays a critical role in maintaining the reliability, safety, and lifespan of automatic barrier systems. By adopting a planned maintenance programme, the client benefits from improved asset performance, reduced unexpected downtime, and documented servicing records across its nationwide estate.
