ELM Print Center - Perimeter Access Control with Bollards & Barriers

The ELM Print Center is a production facility whose output makes its perimeter the first line of defence. The difficulty is that the same perimeter has to absorb routine daily traffic through two gates - so any solution that hardens the boundary must not turn every authorized delivery or staff movement into a delay.

The facility required a high-security access control solution capable of securing vehicle entry and exit points, controlling access without disrupting daily operations, providing a robust physical barrier against unauthorized entry, and delivering reliable performance across multiple gates.

Stebilex KSA supplied and installed Optima hydraulic bollards integrated with Magnetic gate barriers, operating in a coordinated sequence across the two entry and exit gates.

Pairing a bollard with a barrier is not redundancy - it is a division of labour. The barrier is the traffic control device: fast, clearly visible to the driver, and rated for the thousands of cycles a working gate performs. The hydraulic bollard is the physical stopping element that holds the line when a boom would not. Together they separate the question of who is permitted to pass from the question of what can actually be stopped, which is exactly the distinction a secure facility needs to make at its gate.

The scope covered supply of the Optima hydraulic bollards and the Magnetic gate barriers, installation at the entry and exit gates, and system integration, testing and commissioning.

The access control system is fully operational. Perimeter and vehicle security are strengthened, access is controlled and authorized at all gates, operation is consistent across both access points, and overall site safety and operational efficiency have improved.
