Design, installation and on-going support of an integrated security solution in a 30,000 sq ft workspace in a Grade II Listed Victorian building
As a credit card fulfilment company, NewDay handle a lot of very sensitive data and needed a robust security solution to meet compliance requirements. The main challenge was building this into the fabric of the existing 150-year-old building in a way that didn’t jar with the original aesthetics. The client wanted to create an impressive entrance area that showcased the full size and character of the space. Security solutions were required at the main front entrance, the rear staff entrance and for the IT rooms.
We were involved early on in the process, attending several design meetings with Oktra and the client to understand how they wanted to use security within the building. This meant we were able to work closely with the construction team to ensure cabling was put in at the right time and help them hit their delivery milestones.
In the main entrance area, we installed speed lanes with waist-height glass walls to allow for maximum security whilst keeping the open feel the client wanted for the space. We took on the
base build Paxton access control systems and extended and enhanced it. The system included a biometric scanning entry system to speed up operations, with ievo biometric chosen to work in conjunction with the access control and the lanes.
IP High Definition CCTV was integrated with the access control system for added security. Video analytics were put in place so if any movement is detected across the low level walls it signals a discreet alarm back to reception for further investigation.
At the rear of the building, the main staff entrance, we also added access control supported by CCTV.
Additional security was added to the IT rooms to allow access only for specific personnel. Locking mechanisms for the doors were carefully selected to allow for doors with high levels of acoustic treatment to be installed.
