Case study
Access control solutions for education environments
About the Project
EA Group recently delivered a speedlane installation for an education site in the Midlands. The project was secured through a competitive tender process, where lead time and the ability to deliver quickly were key factors in the client’s decision.
With increasing expectations around project timelines, the client required a supplier that could meet tight deadlines without compromising on quality.
The challenge
The project formed part of a wider building scheme, requiring a new access control solution to be installed as part of the site’s development.
Timelines for this project were tight, with a need for fast delivery. In addition, we had to coordinate with an active building site requiring a reliable and efficient access solution.
Client objectives
Our objectives for this client were:
· Deliver and install speedlanes within a reduced lead time
· Meet programme deadlines for the wider construction project
· Provide a secure and efficient access solution for the site
The solution
We responded quickly to the needs of this client. By holding stock and managing lead times effectively, our team was able to offer a significantly faster turnaround than alternative suppliers. We installed the EA Speedlanes, providing a secure and efficient entry solution perfectly suited to education environments.
The installation process
We followed a structured process designed to minimise disruption:
Survey and planning
Following award of the project, the team reviewed site requirements and programme timelines. Planning focused on ensuring the installation aligned with the wider construction schedule and could be delivered within the required timeframe.
PROCUREMENT AND PREPARATION
With reduced lead times a key requirement, EA Group utilised available stock and coordinated internally to prepare the speedlanes for rapid deployment. This ensured the project could move forward without delays.
On-site installation
The speedlanes were installed efficiently on site, in line with the construction programme. The team worked alongside other trades to ensure a smooth installation process and minimal disruption to the overall build.
Integration and testing
Once installed, the system was checked to ensure it was fully operational and ready for use. The completed installation provides a secure, modern access solution that supports the site’s day-to-day operation.
The Results
After a successful delivery, within project timelines, the site’s security was improved through controlled access and an efficient, modern entrance solution. In a market where speed of response and fulfilment are critical, we offer reliable access control solutions delivered at pace.
