APPLICATION Access and intercom success for Omagh Hospital Complex Comelit Group has worked with Building Protection Systems at the Omagh Hospital & Primary Care Complex, to achieve its objectives for access control to interface with intercoms located at external building entrances, internal Ward entrances and Department entrances. Omagh Hospital and Primary Care Complex opened in 2017, designed by Todd Architects has recently won Building of the Year – Public Award at the Building & Architect of the Year Awards. The complex presents two wards with 40 single in-patient rooms and aims to promote patient privacy and dignity whilst complying with the latest infection prevention and control standards. A further 22 recovery beds are available for patients recuperating from Day Case Surgery. Working with Building Protection Systems and the Primary Health Trust, Comelit Group created a solution to allow access to visitors after ‘normal hours’ when a Department or entrance is locked-down. The main requirement was for combined access and intercom system to divert to a separate location and provide the same ability to communicate with the caller and release the door remotely. Digital noticeboards inform residents in real-time Stockport Homes has installed digital noticeboards at residential tower block properties managed on behalf of Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council. The new screens were installed in communal areas by OpenView Security Solutions provide realtime information to improve communications with residents. According to Matthew Platt, Asset Manager at Stockport Homes: “We asked OpenView to recommend a digital solution that would enhance the way that we communicate with residents to alert them of works such as lift maintenance and other important information.” The digital noticeboards, Clive Kinnear, Senior Manager – F&S Systems Sales At Building Protection Systems said: “There were many different elements that had to be considered carefully when researching how to effectively manage the hospital security systems. Not least to provide a welcoming and calming environment that supports patients, staff and visitor health and well-being. “Any security technology must be strategically placed, unobtrusive and not affect the aesthetics.” The overall solution was the integration of an Intercom to communicate across the Trust’s IT network. Door entrance panels were connected and the system programmed to ensure out of hours calls are automatically transferred. This covers main entrances to the building and also Car Parking Barrier Help Stations to assist with car park barrier issues. Comelit Group provided over 50 systems across the whole site, using both its ViP and Simplebus system technologies. A mix of Vandalcom and Ikall Entry panels were used, calling Icona Video monitors. A further range of emergency call points are located in the car park, all centrally managed and provided with a concierge unit facility and off site monitoring, using Comelit’s C- Bridge to connect to the South Western Area Hospital in Enniskillen. manufactured by Intratone, comprise an IP65 rated 15 inch colour screen with options for surface or flush-fit mountings according to the requirements of each location. They are updated using a free and secure cloud-based website, enabling the information to be updated remotely in real-time using any internet-enabled device without requiring site managers to visit each location individually. The notice boards use GSM technology so there is no need for any wireless networks to be installed. This links all properties managed by Stockport Homes and, as well as alerting residents about essential maintenance, can also be used to provide information such as weather forecasts, events, meetings and other local news. Jack Wylie North UK Sales manager for Intratone, added: “Stockport Homes will now reap the benefits of this solution by being able to communicate information with their residents quickly and easily.” 44 www.psimagazine.co.uk
