Result
With the Gunnebo SpeedStile FP speed gate, COWI always knows who is present in the building. The speed gates facilitate smooth, quick single-person entry with no hold-ups or queues for the individuals who are coming and going.
In total, eight lanes of speed gates have been installed in the building, four of which are in the reception area. The barrier flaps are 120cm long offering adequate protection and are made of glass so they do not appear obtrusive.
To enter or exit, employees and visitors simply pass their ID card over a card reader. On receipt of an authorisation signal, the barriers slide open and close behind the individual once they have safely passed through.
Entrance control solutions from Gunnebo are compatible with a range of platforms so the speed gates are future-proof if COWI was ever to implement changes to its IT systems.
