The type of site is categorised according to its value or “criticality” and the impact of its loss. This categorisation is rated using the Government “Criticality Scale”, which assigns categories for different degrees of severity of impact. – See more at: http://www.cpni.gov.uk/about/cni/#sthash.09DJSbd8.dpuf. In addition to traditional electronic security solutions for operational sites Vindex Systems have also been instrumental in providing solutions to the difficulties large infrastructure projects face in managing the construction traffic and in particular where this forms part of the planning consent. Using ANPR technology we are able to provide vehicle monitoring and enforcement as well as a bespoke Delivery Management System interface so that deliveries can be planned, route violations avoided and caps not exceeded. Some of our clients in this sector included:- EDF Energy Sutton & East Surrey Water Springfields Nuclear Fuels Commercial The Commercial sector covers a very wide range of clients and facilities, typically involving multi-storey buildings. Our approach to market is also diverse; we work alongside developers, construction companies as well as end users. The increased activity in the construction market in London in particular has brought many new projects that require Access Control, CCTV, Video Intercom and Life Safety Systems. Many commercial developments are for multi-tenant use and this needs to form a fundamental part of the system design. This can include partitioned access control systems, multi-technology readers to suit a range of card types for each tenant or lift control to allow only authorised persons to select a particular floor. Our sales and design team are regularly meeting with consultants and architects to advise and assist in the early design of solutions. This consultancy approach allows us to better appreciate the challenges in developing buildings for the Commercial sector and ensure that security and life safety systems are an intrinsic part of the building rather than just a bolt on.
