Eastgate Apartments Access Control System:
A Case Study
How Greenlogic Enhanced Security and Operational Efficiency at Eastgate Apartments in Waco, Texas
Client Overview
Eastgate Apartments, located near Baylor University in Waco, Texas, is a premier residential community that caters primarily to students. Known for providing a perfect balance of comfortable, maintenance-free living with a generous selection of floor plans, Eastgate Apartments is a vibrant community that prioritizes the safety and convenience of its residents. As part of their commitment to providing a secure living environment, Eastgate Apartments sought to upgrade their existing access control system. The goal was to implement a solution that would not only enhance the security of their premises but also provide convenience and ease-of-use for their residents, thereby further enriching their living experience.
Scope of the Access Control System Project
The project at Eastgate Apartments in Waco involved a comprehensive overhaul of the existing, outdated access control system. The scope included the installation of a new system that would control four entry drive gates and multiple amenities areas in the leasing offices. It also required the determination of the operational condition of each door/walk gate post-installation. An integral part of the project was providing initial training to the office staff on the new system and supplying the supporting training materials. This ensured they could effectively manage resident data and confidently operate the new system.
Our Process
- Initial Site Assessment (ISA): We started by understanding the specific needs of Eastgate Apartments and identifying opportunities for enhancing their access control system.
- Project Findings and Presentation: We analyzed the data from the ISA and presented a proposal tailored to the needs of Eastgate Apartments, outlining a clear path towards enhanced security and operational efficiency.
- Confirmation Site Audit (CSA): We conducted a thorough audit to confirm the project's viability and finalize the details, ensuring all necessary resources were in place for the implementation phase.
- Installation: Our team of experts efficiently and professionally installed the new access control system, ensuring minimal disruption to the community’s operations.
- Post Site Audit (PSA): Following installation, we conducted a post-installation audit to ensure the new system was functioning optimally and meeting the security needs of Eastgate Apartments.
- System Activation & Training: We activated the installed systems and provided comprehensive training to the office staff, enabling them to manage resident data effectively using the new system.
- Warranty Service and Maintenance: Our commitment to the success of Eastgate Apartments is ongoing. We stand by our work and offer a one-year service warranty on all our installations, including support for any necessary repairs and changes.
Our Solution
Understanding the unique needs of Eastgate Apartments, we implemented a comprehensive access control solution that significantly enhanced the security and operational efficiency of the community.
Our solution involved the installation of a state-of-the-art Pro Data Key (PDK) access control system. This system was designed to control four entry drive gates, ensuring secure and controlled access to the premises. Additionally, the PDK system was extended to manage multiple amenities areas within the leasing offices, providing an integrated solution for the entire community.
To further enhance the functionality of the access control system, we installed five new Liftmaster gate operators. These operators, equipped with battery backup, ensured uninterrupted operation of the entry gates, even in the event of power outages. This feature was crucial in maintaining the security of the community at all times.
Complementing the gate operators, we installed new loop detectors. These devices were designed to detect vehicles and control the opening and closing of the gates, adding an additional layer of security and convenience for the residents.
Our solution was not just about installing new equipment. We also provided comprehensive training to the office staff, enabling them to effectively manage the new system and the resident data.
In essence, our solution provided Eastgate Apartments with a robust, efficient, and user-friendly access control system that significantly enhanced their security while also improving operational efficiency.
