Case Study - Commercial - Rolec Services Ltd
Relationship is key for Rolec's inside and out solution Intro.
Access control and a monitored CCTV system combined with an integrated intruder alarm system is helping to protect valued components at a potentially vulnerable site for Rolec Services, a world leader in electrical connection equipment.
And the system that's been designed and installed by GB Security has proved to be cost-effective as well as proving a match for all the security issues at the new build site.
Rolec Services is one of the world's leading specialists in the design, manufacture and installation of outdoor and indoor electrical connection, hook-up and distribution equipment with specialist products for different sectors. Their work in the marine sector has found the company installing their equipment at attention grabbing sites such as The Palm in Dubai and they have now won the contract for the 2012 Olympic marina. Established in 1990 and now employing nearly 100 personnel in their new, purpose-built complex, Rolec's product range is regarded as the largest and most extensive of its kind in the electrical industry and continues to grow via its distribution network of representatives in over 40 countries around the globe.
The Project
As part of ambitious expansion plans, Rolec Services Ltd has created a new office, warehouse and factory complex. But with a remote rural location and valued component parts on site, tight security controls were essential for the company.
The location left the site vulnerable to intruders out of hours and it was important to control access to all areas of the site throughout the day.
Having talked through the major issues with Rolec, GB Security Group also visited the building site as work progressed, looking for any changes that would need to be managed within the security system.
The result was a recommendation based around a CCTV system with two fully functional dome cameras and two fixed cameras, linked to several associated movement detectors which trigger the cameras whenever there is movement detected.
These are monitored during the day within the company's reception area with digital recording to enable easy playback. An intruder alarm system is integrated with the CCTV and there is also a key fob activated access control system. The access control is used by all Rolec personnel, giving them admittance only to their appropriate working areas.
Suzanne Smithee, company resources manager explained: "GB were more competitive than some of the companies we looked at, but what was most important was the way they worked with us to give a proposal that actually reflected what we needed.
"We felt that they wanted to build a relationship with us, to find out what we wanted so we got the very best solution that matched our particular needs. They even came to visit the site as the building work progressed to see if their proposals might need modifying because of any changes in the building programme."
With the system, all the different site areas can be kept under control all day long with the remote and vulnerable areas under constant surveillance. The CCTV and access control also provide management information, with staff activity logged in the system.
GB Security Group director Dave Simpson said: "Rolec needed a comprehensive system of protection internally and externally. What we have to do is look under the covers, so that we can identify the simplest, most effective solution to do the job."
Said Suzanne Smithee, company resources manager: "We needed to make the site as secure as possible. All our products are bespoke so any theft would result in big delays and a complete rebuild for each specific job in production. GB Security delivered a very impressive presentation and what was inside gave us all the information we needed. Most importantly, the specification satisfied our needs. By building a relationship with us at proposal stage, GB gave us a better solution"
