Greif Packaging – HySecurity HD25
I wanted to present these before and after pictures for a portion of an extensive project ECI was involved with at Greif Packaging in Alsip, Illinois. The total project included providing a completely operational perimeter security system (new fencing and gates furnished and installed by others) including all new electrical infrastructure.
A new infrastructure was needed to provide the needed power to operate the various devices in the upgraded perimeter security system. ECI extended electrical power from inside the building to all of the external devices such as the new slide gate operators, man gate locations as well as peripheral devices.
Pictured above is a new HySecurity SlideSmart™ HD25 sliding gate operator as well as new electrical boxes (elevated and shown in the center of the image). The cut marks in the center foreground are where wiring for the vehicle detector loop was installed in the pavement.
Also shown are two photo-electric beams on the black post to the right of the gate operator. These act as entrapment devices to stop and reverse the gate if a person or object obstructs the beams. They help prevent injury or damage. Edge sensors are also included.
An example of the degraded conditions prior to the upgrade are shown in the image below.
