Building and construction sites are dynamic, high-risk environments—characterised by dust, uneven terrain, and the constant movement of pedestrians and heavy machinery. Effective access control is not a mere procedural requirement; it’s a vital safeguard for protecting people, equipment, and site integrity. Automated access systems play a crucial role in maintaining safety and compliance across these challenging conditions.
The Rotech Automation Team design systems that combine solutions to rise to the challenge, whatever the site and environment. Our pedestrian and vehicle access solutions are built to withstand Australia’s toughest conditions—seamlessly integrating with all access control and OH&S systems, readers, and devices to ensure site safety and compliance from start to finish.
Building Site Pedestrian Site Access Control
Pedestrian Access Control: F21 Full Height Turnstile and Pedestrian Gate
Engineered for demanding construction environments, the F21 Full Height Turnstile excels in rugged terrain, airborne dust, and high-traffic conditions. Constructed from durable galvanised iron and available with an optional side gate, this Australian-made solution has become a trusted safety fixture on many of the country’s most recognised sites. Including major infrastructure projects such as the Sydney West Harbour Tunnel, Brisbane’s Cross River Rail, Western Sydney Airport, Melbourne’s Suburban Rail Loop, and Adelaide’s Torrens to Darlington upgrade.
BRISBANE AIRPORT: F21 Full Height Turnstile
Full-height physical security to prevent tailgating and unauthorised access
From 3m laneways to wide 12m delivery bays, our boom gates are engineered for high-reliability in dusty, vibration-heavy construction zones. With over 20 years of experience supplying the building and construction industry we know what boom gate will last the test of time, busy traffic and tough conditions:
WEST HARBOUR TUNNEL: RD6 Radar free exit and Safety for 6m Roger Boom Gate
Sealed electronics and corrosion-resistant enclosures for long service life in rugged terrain
High-duty cycle brushless motors that stand up to constant vehicle flow offering better speed control and less maintenance over time
Articulated Arms and compact cabinet for underground and confined space
Bollards and card reader posts for both truck and car height and integrated card readers box hosting multiple readers solution such as keypads and RFID cards or intercoms.
Safety Around Access Points: Designed for all Configurations
Unpredictable vehicle movement, reduced visibility, and challenging surfaces call for safety systems that perform in the real world of building and construction sites:
349x390mm Reader Box with Keypad, RFID card reader and Intercom
PE Beams Sealed IR beam pairs that halt gates if a person or object is detected. Wireless or semi wired, anti-shock/vandalism to fit any sites as wide as 40m
RD6 Radar Sensors – Motion detectors unaffected by dust, rain, or poor lighting detecting both vehicles and pedestrians will prevent the boom arm to descend of pedestrians, ideal for non-sealed roads or where PE Beam may be affected by light, dust or mist
Surface-mounted wireless Vehicle Loop Detectors for fast installation on sealed roads removing the need to cut the road and chase wire to the gate.
Loop Detectors – to control free exit of vehicles on sturdy road and speed up exit of all vehicles, a time and time again proven vehicles detector solution that will cope with heavy vehicle traffic and last the harshness of time around building sites.
Traffic Lights, Strobes & Sounders – Critical visual and audible alerts to cut through site noise and dust, alert pedestrians and vehicles alike. We can help you design the automation of all traffic lights sounder and Strobes and put together the control boards that will mostly be needed for complex configurations such as blind spots, one lane 2 ways, underground car park…
