ACCESS CONTROL // CONVENIENCE AND SECURITY
LARGE ROLLING DOOR // WEATHER PROOFING BUSINESS
PROBLEM A manufacturer suffered significant business disruption and economic losses when a winter storm caused the pipes in their boiler room to freeze. To prevent future incidents, they needed the ability to close off a 30 foot x 28 foot ventilation wall during cold weather. SOLUTION The DH Pace team assessed the situation and assisted the customer in evaluating several different options. Due to the large size of the opening and the need to close the opening quickly, a power operated custom rolling steel door was selected. The door was fabricated and installed on the exterior of the ventilation wall with a heavy- duty operator to allow for quick and safe operation. To add security, the operator can only be activated by authorized personnel using a key switch. The customer is very happy with the product and the installation of the door. It took care of all the worries they had with weather at this location and allows for the ventilation wall to be open as much as possible.
PROBLEM A university needed to upgrade their access control system to improve security and convenience. The campus police and systems administration teams also needed the new access system to integrate with the existing student enrollment and badging systems. SOLUTION DH Pace worked with key university stakeholders to define system requirements, including the IT department on software integration issues. Close collaboration between DH Pace, the selected suppliers and several university departments was critical in successfully designing a solution that would deliver the level of integration, security, and convenience necessary to meet their ambitious goals for the system. DH Pace installed the new access control system at four separate campus locations consisting of over 450 card readers. The new access system was integrated into the university’s badging, human resources, and enrollment software to allow staff to efficiently onboard new students and grant them access to the appropriate classrooms, common areas and dormitories. The system also permits authorized users to reserve study and conference rooms. Finally, the new access system allowed administrators to lock down the buildings in the event of a critical incident.
