Enhancing safety and access control across public transport sites throughout Northern Ireland.
Translink is Northern Ireland’s public transportation provider,
offering a variety of services including bus and rail.
Translink operate throughout locations in Northern Ireland and
identified the need to enhance the safety and security at these
sites.
Crane Communications, part of EA-RS, is a security installation
company, with over 40 years experience, located in Northern
Ireland who manage projects throughout the United Kingdom.
Their specialist engineers can handle the most complex
projects, ensuring clients receive a seamless, innovative, and
creative solution.
This enhanced by Crane Communications dedication to
relationship development, which complements their ability to
effectively complete large projects such as the Translink Bus
Safety Upgrades.
Translink identified the need to strengthen the security and
safety around various bus and rail locations throughout
Northern Ireland. It was critical they implemented a system to
manage the flow of vehicles and pedestrians entering each site,
thereby keeping employees and general public safe.
Due to the complexities associated with each site, there was a
need to update the infrastructure monitoring vehicles visiting
each facility. A system to control the entry of these vehicles
accessing each site was essential for Translink.
Each Translink location has it’s own layout and set of standards,
demanding a bespoke and adaptable installation from Crane
Communications.
Crane Communications began the installation by delivering an innovative technological solution to improve the security and safety of Translink sites located across Northern Ireland, starting with the Limavady and Bangor bus stations.
Across the 18 Translink sites completed, over 55 CAME Gard 6 barrier systems (with photocells) and 21 vandal resistant intercoms have been installed. At all locations across Northern Ireland, the response has been incredibly positive.
Vehicle access is now managed centrally which allows for the administration of vehicles entering each Translink station. Busy locations such as Bangor Train Station have benefited the most from vehicle access control as the stations provide a much safer environment. The systems were seamlessly implemented, while increasing the station’s operating efficiency.
This project is ongoing with Crane Communications continually renovating Translink sites across Northern Ireland. Sites such as Strabane bus station are scheduled to undergo the access control renovations to improve the stations overall operation and safety; using the suite of CAME products that have previously contributed to the overall project success.
