Gateway Automation recently delivered a new vehicle access solution for a shared parking area on Warren Street, London. 📍

With multiple users requiring reliable day-to-day access, the system needed to provide controlled entry while making the most of the limited space available.

The installation included a 3m x 3m automatic bi-fold gate alongside a 4.7m automatic traffic barrier, creating a complete vehicle access solution for the site. 🔒

Access and detection equipment included:

1 x 3m x 3m automatic bi-fold gate
1 x automatic barrier with 4,700mm boom
Digital keypad
Clonix receiver with 10 remote transmitters
3 x Optex radar detectors

The bi-fold gate provides a particularly practical solution for the restricted entrance, opening without the larger run-back area required by a traditional sliding gate. ✅

Combined with the automatic barrier, keypad, remote access and radar detection, the finished system provides a convenient and controlled entrance for the multiple users of the parking area.

Another great example of our team delivering a tailored access solution around the specific constraints of a site.

4 barriers. 4 weekends. One outstanding result from the team! ✅

This project is now almost complete, with just one final road blocker left to finish.

The works have included the installation of 4 new automatic barriers, a full access control system and vehicle counting technology to help manage the high traffic volumes on site.

Alongside this, 3 of the 4 redundant road blockers have now been safely decommissioned and removed, with the final unit due to be completed as the last stage of the project.

A great example of a complete turnkey solution delivered by the Gateway Automation team. 🙌

Another impressive installation taking shape from the Gateway Automation team at Atlantic Park, Liverpool. 👏

Our engineers have completed the installation of a set of bi-parting cantilever sliding gates, creating a substantial automated entrance solution for the site.

The gates were securely installed, levelled and aligned, with initial commissioning carried out using a generator. With the main installation now complete, the remaining power and access works will be completed before our team returns for final commissioning, force testing and handover.

A great example of the scale of projects our engineers regularly deliver — combining careful installation, precision and teamwork to create a reliable long-term access solution. ✅
