Vehicle Detector Loops - Joliet Job Corps Center

Vehicle Detector Loops – Joliet Job Corps Center

Last week I wrote about ECI’s recent work at the Joliet Job Core Center. We replaced the two barrier gates at the entrance with Nice/HySecurity StrongArmPark™ DC 10 automatic barrier gates.
You can read the story at “HySecurity Automatic Barrier Gates At Joliet Job Corps Center.”

Shown to the left are two of the newly installed vehicle detector loops. These loops facilitate efficient access control at the guard booth. They allow security personnel to monitor and manage vehicle entry without manual intervention. They can also be set to operate when guards are not present at off hours.

The primary purpose of a vehicle detector loop is to automatically open or close a barrier gate based on the presence of a vehicle. The gate opens to allow entry or exit when a vehicle is detected. These loops can also prevent tailgating. They can stop the gate from closing on a vehicle still in its path by reversing the gate’s motion to avoid accidents.

I also wrote about the signs of wear and tear and the decreased reliability in the article. Our assessment uncovered significant deterioration of the electrical infrastructure. Even the concrete pads and protective bollards were in disrepair. We therefore proposed to “do the job right” and management agreed.

Below are some pictures of the condition of the electrical infrastructure before and after our repairs were made. Notice the degradation of the electrical conduit and wiring. There was significant damage due to water and rust.

We penetrated the guard house walls to install new conduit, removed concrete and repaired it. We even realigned a bollard. Also included, but not shown, are new concrete pads, trench work, ground restoration, connections, etc. As I have written before, ECI is dedicated to small details and provides professionally looking final installations.
