Project Overview
This project involved safety upgrades, compliance improvements and planned maintenance for five existing electric gate systems across the Morpeth School campus in Bow, East London.
The systems required assessment, upgrading and documentation to meet recognised UK powered gate safety guidance, alongside a structured maintenance programme to support ongoing safe operation in an active school environment.
Client Brief
The school required professional support to ensure existing electric gate systems were safe, compliant and suitable for use in a live education environment.
Key requirements included:
- Safety assessment of existing gate systems
- Upgrades to improve safeguarding and reduce risk
- Compliance documentation and commissioning records
- Reliable ongoing maintenance and safety monitoring
- Clear guidance to support duty of care responsibilities
Scope of Works
Gate Safety Assessment and Risk Review
Safety Upgrades and Compliance Improvements
Safeguarding and Access Management
Compliance Documentation and Force Testing
Planned Maintenance Programme
Outcome
Morpeth School now benefits from improved gate safety performance, documented compliance and structured ongoing maintenance across multiple entrances.
The safety upgrades reduce risk in a live education environment and support safeguarding responsibilities, with planned maintenance in place to ensure systems remain safe and reliable over time.
Why This System Was Specified
Existing gate systems required assessment and targeted safety upgrades to meet current recognised UK powered gate safety guidance. A structured maintenance programme was implemented to ensure ongoing compliance, predictable operation and documented duty of care.
This approach allowed the school to improve safety and compliance without replacing functional gate infrastructure.
