Challenge

AUTOPA was approached by the owners of a former petrol station in Coventry, which had been converted into commercial units, for advice on how to make the premises more secure with the aim of preventing unauthorised parking on site and removing the risk of unauthorised encampment.

Solution

AUTOPA’s turnkey service started with a free site survey to assess site conditions, measure the area, and advise a suitable solution. This was followed by a quotation and site layout diagram which was accepted by the customer.

To achieve the above objectives, AUTOPA utilised the flexibility of its Sold Secure range of fixed and removable perimeter barriers and retractable bollards. 

Three separate entrances were secured using retractable bollards, whilst the perimeter of the site was secured using fixed security barriers. Larger vehicles often need access to the site for deliveries, therefore AUTOPA installed removable perimeter barriers either side of the main entrance to give the ability to widen the area when necessary.

The customer was kept up-to-date throughout the manufacturing process and installation was completed within 3 days. 

The final solution provided 11 retractable bollards, 9 fixed security barriers and 2 removable security barriers.
