BSIA member secures West Lothian Civic Centre

A BSIA member was picked to deliver an integrated security solution to West Lothian Civic Centre, a £53 million complex for all public service provision in and around Livingston, Scotland.

The civic centre is home to the police, council, Crown Office, Fire and Rescue Service, Community Health and Care Partnership, Sheriff and Justice of the Peace Courts as well as the Scottish Children's Reporter Administration Service. Consequently, a system combining high security with ease of access was required.

The civic centre selected a BSIA member to develop a solution that met the diverse needs of the 1,000 employees who would be working together under one roof. Employees and visitors needed the freedom to move around the complex easily and safely in close proximity to secure areas designed for Court and Police custodies. As a result, the BSIA member provided a remote access control for 240 doors, barriers and entry points and 170 CCTV cameras, which monitor all buildings, car parks and perimeters. A video intercom and intruder alarm system was installed along with a fire alarm system with 1,000 smoke alarms across the complex.

The BSIA member's integrated system provides a range of effective security measures that meets the needs of the West Lothian Civic Centre.
