In Lincolnshire, Arctic Jet Cold Store have opened two huge World War Two aircraft hangars as cold storage units capable of storing up to 5000 pallets each.
Besides offering a fully temperature controlled environment for perishables, the firm wanted to ensure security. A wireless solution from Tag Guard Ltd was installed because Arctic Jet wanted perimeter detection around the outside of the hangars, separated by 200m of hard standing and surrounded by a mix of grass and concrete paths. A wired detection system over that area may have meant upheaval and major cost.
Richard Lang, Managing Director of Tag Guard, says: "The Arctic Jet project was unusual due to the sheer size of the area that required securing โ our solution involved zones of wireless active infra red which negated the need for any ducting or civil works and therefore greatly reduced the cost. Surveillance has been provided by a static wireless camera covering the rear storage yard and a wireless high speed CCTV dome covering the area between the hangers, the office entrance and the loading bay areas, making the whole area totally secure."
Steve Hill, Director of Arctic Jet Cold Store Ltd, said: "We are delighted with the systems that Tag Guard have installed; the combination of infra red intruder and CCTV equipment was exactly what we were looking for and being fully wireless it was relatively quick to install, involved very little disruption and, most importantly, was far less costly than a cable powered and linked system โ it is also working perfectly!"
