Context

Frontier Pitts was contacted by Clancy, one of the largest privately-owned construction firms in the UK, with a requirement for a sliding gate to secure the entrance of its prestigious HQ.

As this gate would be the first and only access point, incorporating the company's branding on the gate was very important.

Solution

Frontier Pitts installed a sliding cantilevered gate with a pedestrian wicket gate to the side. The made-to-order gate included the distinctive Clancy logo, which was laser-cut into sheet infill, positioned to the centre of the gate, and is clearly visible on approach to the headquarters.

All Frontier Pitts automatic gates are installed in line with DHF safety standards with a full risk assessment determining the most appropriate safety devices for each site’s requirements and users.

Pedestrian guardrail secured the runback area of the sliding gate, with other safety devices including photocells, vehicle detector loops, safety edges and a traffic light system installed.

All automatic sliding gates should be regularly maintained - a service which Frontier Pitts also offers. A range of contracts are available with preventative planned maintenance visits and breakdown call-outs with response times to suit site requirements.

Comments

"We chose Frontier Pitts as we wanted to find a company to develop a partnership with, who understood our requirements for this very custom project. We evaluated a number of suppliers and felt that Frontier Pitts truly understood how to make this gate personal to The Clancy Group with the designs and concepts provided. From start to end, we found the designers and fabricators adjusted and worked with us to make this gate just how we wanted. We also was impressed that the gate was manufactured in the UK and the feel the quality gives us the reassurance that this gate is here to stay a long time.
