Integrated Lighting & Access Control Driveway

Project Overview

This project involved replacing an ageing entrance gate and automation system with a new bespoke automated hardwood entrance gate system. The aim was to retain the traditional countryside character of the entrance while significantly improving reliability, security, and ease of use through modern automation technology.

The Brief

The client required a replacement entrance gate that would complement the rural setting of the property while providing reliable automated vehicle access. The existing gate and system had reached the end of their service life and needed upgrading to a modern automated entrance system.

The project also required the inclusion of pedestrian access, an intercom system for visitor communication, and integrated lighting to improve visibility and functionality during evening use.
