Raymarine Security System
NETWORK SECURITY AND FIRE SECURES RAYMARINE
Network Security and Fire a Value Added Partner of Siemens Security Products, recently worked together to develop a comprehensive yet efficient and cost-effective security solution for Raymarine's new purpose-built headquarters in Portsmouth, Hampshire.
Description
The installation, which incorporates tightly integrated access control and CCTV systems, is providing flexible protection for the important facilities on the site, which included Raymarine's world-class research and development operation.
As one of the world's leading and most successful suppliers of marine electronic products for the leisure boating market, Raymarine has seen its business grow substantially and consistently in recent years. This growth made a move to larger premises essential. As a result, the company commissioned a new headquarters complex which comprises a 75,000 sq ft office building and an adjacent 35,000 sq ft building to house the company's research and development, test laboratory, service centre and production engineering facilities.
Given the business-critical nature of the work carried out at Raymarine's headquarters, and the commercial sensitivity of its research and development operations, the highest levels of security were required across the whole of the new site. To find the best security system supplier to meet this requirement, Raymarine initiated a competitive tender process involving major security companies throughout the UK.
Ultimately the contract was awarded to Network Security and Fire, who put forward a proposal based on access control and CCTV equipment from Siemens Security Products.
The decision to award the contract to Network Security and Fire was based on the company's strong reputation in the building security field, its competitive pricing, and its use of Siemens equipment, which was seen as combining versatility and performance with reliability and value for money.
