St Marys and Scoil Chriost Ri schools, part of the PPP Project Group managed by Sodexo, shared a common car park that faced significant challenges regarding the control of access by unauthorised vehicles. The existing manual barrier at the car park entrance was not in use, and there was no barrier at the exit, which further complicated the situation.
Given their longstanding relationship and successful history of collaboration, Sodexo has repeatedly selected Electro Automation for multiple projects. For this particular project, Electro Automation was chosen to handle all civil works, including trenching, ducting, and reinstating, as well as the electrical works and installation of barriers in an all-inclusive package. The work was required to be completed within the Easter holidays to minimise disruption.
For the entrance barrier system, we installed two Bionik 6 barriers and a Rosslare Keypad. It was crucial for the client that Electro managed all aspects of the project beyond just the barrier installation. The new barriers installed by Electro Automation have significantly improved security and user experience for users of the car park. Staff members can conveniently access the campus using their access fobs, which enhances both access control and security.
Ali Tan, the PPP Contract Manager for Schools Ireland, provided a testimonial highlighting the efficiency and responsiveness of Electro Automation. She stated, “Electro Automation were very responsive with all queries. The proposal was detailed and well presented. The work was executed within the agreed time frames and as per the project specifications.“
