We were approached by China Fleet Country Club in Saltash, Cornwall to assist with their access control system. They wanted to ‘speed up access’ for members so that they didn’t have to report to Reception on each visit but also wanted to ensure non-members were accessing the correct areas.

China Fleet Country Club has in excess of 5000 members with differing forms of membership which in turn gives different access to facilities at different times.

Part of the solution came by controlling access to the main club in the form of a set of speed gates. Aesthetics was high on the list of criteria, followed by functionality and ease of use. Universal Fire And Security chose the proven Came Ozak PG speed gates for the installation with China Fleet Decals added to the glass panels on the gates and side panels.

In conjunction with this installation was the provision of Nortech DeltaQuest Access Control Units which interface seamlessly to the ESP Membership Database. Doors to the Gym, SPA, Changing Rooms and Box12 facility had readers and maglocks installed. The readers provided were NVite multi-functional readers to future proof the installation. Not only can these read the Mifare Wrist Bands bearing the China Fleet logo but they will also be able to read QR code or Digital Tags through NFC at a later stage.

The Came Ozak PG Speed Gates were chosen following the recent successful implementation of similar units at a busy College. They were able to be seen in action and be appraised prior to being chosen by the client for China Fleet Country Club.
