Government and Military.

Government and military buildings operate under the constant pressure of balancing security and accessibility. With threats ranging from unauthorized entry and theft to active shooters and bomb threats, the stakes are high. Meanwhile, these spaces must maintain an open, welcoming architecture that reflects democratic principles. Adding to the complexity, compliance regulations vary by state, requiring adaptable yet robust solutions.

Government facilities house a wide array of critical assets—from sensitive data and classified meeting areas to national landmarks and physical infrastructure. Ensuring these spaces remain secure while operating efficiently requires solutions that are both flexible and resilient. Boon Edam’s secured entry solutions address these challenges with precision and scalability.

Key Areas of Protection:

1. Classified Areas: Security Portals and high-security revolving doors provide absolute access control to prevent unauthorized entry into restricted zones.
2. Meeting Venues: Optical turnstiles and access-controlled entrances ensure that only verified personnel can attend confidential discussions.
3. Historical Landmarks: Full-height turnstiles and custom solutions deter potential threats while maintaining national sites' aesthetic and operational needs.
4. Data Centers: Secured entry systems segment personnel and departments, minimizing the risk of unauthorized access to sensitive records.

By addressing the unique needs of each area, Boon Edam empowers government agencies to adopt a layered security strategy that establishes absolute control over physical access. This proactive approach ensures facilities are prepared to effectively deter, detect, and prevent threats.

Organizations face diverse risks, many of which stem from inadequate access control to buildings, outdoor areas, or interior spaces. While traditional methods—like locks on doors or gates—have long been used to manage access, they often fall short of effectively mitigating risks. Even more advanced approaches, such as electronic access control systems, security guards, and surveillance cameras, have critical vulnerabilities that limit their effectiveness.

Limitations of Traditional Access Control Methods

• Locks and Doors: A locked door may prevent unauthorized access initially, but once opened, it cannot control who enters.
• Access Control Systems: While these systems manage who can unlock a door, they cannot verify whether the authorized individual actually entered or if additional people followed.
• Surveillance Cameras: Cameras only record events, offering no real-time control over access or movement.
• Security Guards: Human guards are susceptible to distraction, deception, or being overwhelmed, reducing their reliability in high-risk scenarios.

These weaknesses mean that traditional methods often fail to fully address the real-world risks organizations face.

The Case for Security Entrances

Security entrances offer a more comprehensive solution by controlling not just access but also the flow and direction of individuals entering a space. Unlike traditional methods, security entrances are designed to:

• Regulate Entry: Ensure only authorized individuals pass through.
• Control Flow: Limit the number of people entering at once.
• Enhance Security: Mitigate tailgating and unauthorized access risks.

Integrating security entrances into your facility allows you to establish a robust access control strategy that effectively manages risks and enhances overall security.

Boon Edam offers a range of tailored solutions to meet the diverse security needs of government and military facilities. By deploying layered security across three levels—deterrence, detection, prevention—our entrances provide a comprehensive, proactive defense.
