CEM secure Heathrow T5 site
BAA has chosen CEM Systems, a Business Unit of Tyco Fire & Security, to supply the access control system for the Terminal 5 (T5) construction site at Heathrow Airport.
T5, one of the largest construction projects undertaken by BAA will consist of a main terminal building, satellites and associated aircraft stands, covering an area of 260 hectares - just under one quarter of the area occupied by Heathrow currently. When completed T5 will supplement Heathrow's existing four terminals, to ensure the airport remains Europe’s premier international airport hub.
With the construction project lasting five years at a cost of around £2.7 billion, securing the construction site, which is located within the existing airport perimeter, was of paramount importance.
CEM worked closely with Heathrow Airport and their local dealer Beacon Security to ensure the best solution was provided.
“Securing such a vast construction site with many thousands of workers provided a number of unusual challenges which most conventional access control systems would not have met,” explained Maggi Chesney, Director of AC2000 at CEM. “The strength of CEM is our ability to deliver a customised hardware and software solution to meet our clients needs.”
CEM’s AC2000 Standard Edition system (AC2000 SE) will control access to the T5 site during construction, ensuring that only authorised employees and contractors gain access.
As well as using EtherProx card readers to control access at fixed locations within the T5 site the client had a special requirement to provide access control on the many buses that are used to carry the workers onto site.
CEM designed a special Portable version of the EtherProx card reader to provide access control on non-fixed locations such as buses. At night the readers use a special docking centre to upload all transaction information to the central system.
The AC2000 SE system will also integrate with T5’s on-line recruitment database to speed up the issuing of cards for the many workers who will need access to the site.
