Modular Security Systems Inc. prepares another high security turnstile and shipping container combination, the V-Series MAC Portal, for shipment. This new unit will be shipped, per the customers request, with the standard MSSI blue paint and SecuredbyMAC.com signage. Although the majority of V-Series MAC Portals have been fitted with an exterior facade this modular, full height turnstile security unit was ordered to look similar, not to existing structures on site, but to match the other MAC Portals the customer already has on location.
Having provided standard Modular Access Control (MAC) Portals to the customer in the past MSSI had developed a good working relationship when it came to design and implementation of their MAC. This time the customer wanted a larger structure at the main entrance to their facility that would match up to standard MAC Portals located at smaller additional entrances to the site. Like all V-Series MAC Portals this unit comes complete with entrance and exit vestibules, a guard office, and full height high security turnstiles integrated with access control technology.

In an ideal world a construction site or industrial plant should have only one access point that allows for close monitoring of individuals entering and exiting the site. Employee, vendor, and guest parking areas should always be located outside the perimeter of a construction fence or in a clearly designated area within the fence line. Workers should also be easily recognizable by credentials that identify them as someone allowed to access the work area.
High quality fencing around your perimeter is more often than not the first line of defense against trespassers and unauthorized individuals from entering your facility. Once an 8' fence has been installed around your perimeter the Modular Access Control (MAC)full height, high security turnstiles and access control technologies, including proximity card readers, hand geometry readers, and iris scanning detection MSSI can deliver the MAC Portal fence line ready to install. For sites where more than one entry/exit point multiple MAC Portals can also be installed at a major cost savings in comparison to traditional stick built structures. Portal can be utilized to solve the rest of your problems. Through the use of

Modular Security Systems Inc. (MSSI) has, based on customer demand, began construction on new V-Series Modular Access Control (MAC) Portals. In preparation to modify these portable guardhouses with access control turnstiles these 45' high cube shipping containers have been cut and are being prepared to be pulled together. As with all Modular Access Control (MAC) Portals these portable guard shacks with full height turnstiles are built out of 16 gauge corten steel ISO shipping containers as their backbone. Once they are cut to the appropriate dimensions these units will be fully insulated with customer specified flooring, wall finishings, over head lighting, access control technology and high security turnstiles.
Unlike most V-Series MAC Portals this modular guard shack with access control turnstiles will be delivered without an exterior facade. The customer, having purchased standard Modular Access Control (MAC) Portals in the past, chose to stick with the blue painted exterior as opposed to having the fiber cement facade installed. Once completed this guard office with full height security turnstiles will be loaded and shipped for on site installation, saving the customer a significant amount of time and money as compared to traditional stick built structures.

MSSI since its inception has been committed to meeting the site specific needs of its customers and has yet to say no to a new idea or need. One example of that is seen here in this modified MAC-2. This is a Modular Access Control (MAC) Portal with two full height security turnstiles and has been modified by installing a liftmaster vehicle barrier. This modular guardhouse with turnstiles is delivered fence-line ready and can be built, delivered, and installed in a fraction of the time it takes a similar stick-built structure to be constructed.
Once on site this unit regulates the entry of employees and visitors to the site through access control technology and full height turnstiles. As seen above the 2 full height security turnstiles on the entry and exit sides of the MAC-2 have been installed and integrated with access control technology to manage foot traffic on to the site. Based on the needs of the site this MAC Portal has also been setup to regulate vehicle access to the site through the use of the liftmaster road barrier.

Modular Security Systems Inc (MSSI) recently shipped another Modular Access Control (MAC) Portal with 4 full height turnstiles and access control. This portable guardhouse with access control turnstiles was sent to a major construction project in the U.S. where the site perimeter required access control entry and egress for employees and visitors. Like most MAC Portals this unit was setup with proxemity cards that identify employees, allow them access to the site, and track their time on site for payroll purposes.
One major benefit of having a MAC Portal delivered to your site is the lead time on these units. What would take a construction crew, engineers, contractors and months of planning and permiting to accomplish can be manufactured and delivered to your site in a matter of weeks. Built fully integrated with any type of site specified access control technology these portable guardhouses with turnstiles offer the perfect solution for both temporary and permanent installations.

Modular Security Systems, Inc., MSSI, has incorporated both full height turnstiles as well has half height turnstiles into its MAC Security portal to date and management at MSSI has been well pleased with the performance of all makes of barrier devices that it has installed thus far in its manufacturing of MAC Security portal mobile turnstile units.

The video is an overview of Modular Security Systems Inc. and features interviews with Kevin Harrison, Vice President of Modular Security Systems Inc. "Many major industrial construction sites, power plants, refineries and nuclear facilities around the globe have already benefited from having a MAC Portal on site and we think this video will be useful for security and safety managers who haven't heard of the MAC", said Kevin Harrison.
"Many times we'll be at a trade show and attendees will come by our both amazed that they have never seen or heard of putting full-height turnstiles in a shipping container as an access control solution. We're always looking for ways to reach new customers that might be in need of a MAC as either a permanent or temporary solution and we're glad we now have a high quality video that shows off some of our capabilities", added David Slagel, MSSI Co-President.

Yesterday the first 3 shipping containers of a massive 15 box Advanced Screening Complex (ASC), modified with full height turnstiles, were loaded and sent west towards Arizona. Today 3 more turnstile container modification from the ASC will be disassembled and loaded for shipment. As is standard for all mult-container modifications the individual modules will be pulled apart and covered with a protective wrap and tarps to maintain the units as they are trucked across the U.S.
As the individual Modular Access Control (MAC) modules arrive onsite they will be reassembled and integrated with a number of detection devises for security screening purposes. The ASC, once assembled, will have baggage scanning capabilities with x-ray, metal, and bomb detection, as well as, hand geometry readers, and access card readers. Much like security checkpoints at major airports around the world, the completed ASC will offer a high security entrance significantly cheaper than a traditional stick built structure.
