SunTrax Installation of Custom Gates and HydraSwing Operators
Enhancing Security and Reliability: HydraSwing Operators Installed for Florida Department of Transportation
When it comes to securing critical infrastructure, reliability and efficiency are non-negotiable. Our project with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) exemplifies this commitment. We installed four custom gates and state-of-the-art HySecurity HydraSwing gate operators, complete with battery backups, to enhance security and ensure seamless operation even in the face of power disruptions. Here’s a closer look at this transformative project.
Project Scope
The FDOT approached the project with a clear objective: to install a new gate system with robust, high-performance operators that could withstand Florida’s demanding weather conditions and maintain functionality during power outages and look good doing it. This project was specifically carried out for the SunTrax facility, a cutting-edge testing ground for transportation technologies operated by FDOT.
Why HySecurity HydraSwing?
The HydraSwing operators are engineered for heavy-duty applications, making them perfect for FDOT’s needs. These operators are designed to handle large, industrial swing gates with precision and durability. Key features include:
- Unmatched Durability: Constructed with industrial-grade materials to endure harsh weather and high usage.
- Seamless Operation: Advanced hydraulics ensure smooth and reliable gate movement.
- Battery Backup: Built-in battery systems provide uninterrupted operation during power outages, a critical feature for maintaining security and access control.
- Advanced Control Systems: Equipped with intelligent controllers for customizable settings and remote monitoring capabilities.
Custom Fabrication and Installation of Gates
In addition to installing the HydraSwing operators, we provided custom fabrication and installation of the gates themselves. Our team designed and built gates tailored to FDOT’s specific requirements, ensuring a perfect fit with the HydraSwing system. These gates were constructed with heavy steel construction and were hot dipped galvanized for maximum strength and durability, and the installation was carried out with precision to ensure seamless integration with the operators.
The Installation Process
Our team meticulously planned and executed the installation to ensure minimal disruption to FDOT’s daily operations. The process included:
- Site Preparation: Comprehensive site surveys and preparatory groundwork to accommodate the new operators and gates.
- Gate Fabrication: Designing and fabricating custom gates to meet specific dimensions and operational needs.
- Installation: Securely mounting and integrating the HydraSwing operators with the custom gates.
- Battery Backup Integration: Configuring the battery systems to ensure immediate power transfer during outages.
- Testing and Optimization: Rigorous testing to verify functionality, safety, and performance under various conditions.
The Outcome
The completed installation has secured FDOT’s SunTrax facility, with the HydraSwing operators and custom gates in place, the department now benefits from:
- Enhanced Security: Reliable gate functionality ensures secure access control at all times.
- Operational Continuity: Battery backups guarantee uninterrupted performance, even during extreme weather or power outages.
- Long-Term Value: Durable and low-maintenance systems reduce operational costs over time.
Partnering for Success
