Fast acting MC Security Barriers from the UK's leading access control company, APT Controls, are playing a central role in improving security at the Croydon offices of the international management, engineering and development consultancy Mott MacDonald. Following the successful installation of barriers at the new Mott MacDonald Voyager house building in Croydon, APT Controls was recently asked to install a new barrier at the Sydenham Road building, replacing an old barrier which had become worn over time. The decision to choose APT Controls was straightforward as Dee Hyatt, Facilities Manager at the Mott MacDonald offices in Croydon explains: 'The existing barrier at Mott MacDonald House was old, battered and in desperate need of replacement.

Since we were extremely pleased with the service we received during the installation of barriers at our Voyager House building, we chose to contact APT Controls again.

'The barrier enables speedy access while solving our problems with unauthorised parking, and once again we were thoroughly impressed with the service received from APT Controls.

We are sure that the robust barrier will serve us for many years to come'.

Tony Girard, APT Controls' Managing Director said: 'We were very pleased to work with Mott MacDonald to provide a simple yet durable solution to a common parking problem.

The MC Security barrier is ideal in sites and situations such as this and APT Controls are glad to have been of help'.

The APT Controls MC Security Barrier enhances site security with its fast operating action and strong barrier arm.

The robust design and the advanced technology of the motion control mechanism protects components from the stress of high-speed operation ensuring long-lasting reliability.

Ideal for office car parks, perimeter security and hotel car parks, the MC Security barrier is well suited to sites with medium traffic flow where non-paying access is required.

As well as being extremely robust, the barrier is flexible to suit different needs, with a choice of logic controllers to suit all remote control devices, and various models with differing arm lengths available.

The APT Controls' range of barrier systems covers everything from simple, manually operated posts through to fast-acting, automatic systems for high flow traffic situations.
