MSSI: Perimeter Barriers & Perimeter Security Solutions w/ Turnstiles
Posted on Thu, Jan 19, 2012
Any security professional will tell you that perimeter barriers are the first step in securing any facility. As the outermost protective barrier of a security system, perimeter barriers act as the first line of defense with regards to site security. The primary function of perimeter barriers is to prevent unauthorized personel and materials from entering a secured location. Perimeter barriers can be created using fences and gates. Although fences provide some benefits they can often be broken through fairly quickly. For this very reason many high security sites opt to have additional guard houses and full height, high security turnstiles and access control technology like the Patented MAC Portal for personnel to enter the site.
MSSI has worked with a number of industrial contractors, industrial facilities, and security profesionals over the years to design and build perimeter security solutions like the Patented MAC Portal and V-Series MAC Portal. By utilizing new ISO shipping containers the movable shell of the MAC Portal comes in standard sizes with fork pockets and corner casting pre-installed. The standardization of the these shipping containers make them the perfect building block for a portable perimeter barrier. Once the full height turnstiles and access control technology is added the MAC Portal is ready to be dropped into a fenceline and utilized as a personel entry point in any perimeter barrier system.
