Case Study - Gate Automation Upgrade for Lasting Security 

Client: Liam Ryan 
Location: Goole, East Yorkshire 
Project: Gate Automation System Upgrade 
Overview 
Liam contacted Power Surge for a reliable upgrade to his electric gate system. With the original setup providing a solid 25 years of service, Liam was seeking a comparable, if not better, replacement to ensure his gates would stand the test of time once more. 
Challenges 
The existing system components failed after a quarter-century of operation. 
The client wished to retain the current steel gates, requiring the new system to be compatible. 
A need for improved security and ease of operation was essential. 
Solution 
Upon a meticulous site evaluation, Chris from Power Surge identified the specific needs and preferences of Liam and Ruth. Aligning with their desire for longevity and reliability, a full system upgrade was proposed, allowing for the integration with their existing steel gates. 
 
Underground Motors: Two new underground motors were installed, ensuring a discreet look while offering robust operation. 
Photocells: Incorporating two photocells enhanced the system's safety by preventing the gates from closing if an obstacle was detected. 
Control Panel: A state-of-the-art control panel was put in place to manage the gate's functions efficiently. 
Cabling and Isolation: The electrical infrastructure was completely overhauled with new cabling and isolation to meet current safety standards. 
Benefits 
Seamless Integration: The new system was flawlessly fitted with the existing steel gates, affirming that good quality can last and be adapted to modern technology. 
Revived Functionality: The gates were back to full operation quickly, responding promptly at the push of a button for immediate access control. 
Enhanced Security: With the upgrade, Liam and Ruth felt a renewed sense of security, knowing their property was well-guarded by a reliable gate system. 
Customer Satisfaction: The clients expressed great satisfaction with the installation process and the outcome, praising the bespoke service and attention to detail.
