Ievo has been contracted to provide biometric access control to construction sites situated at both ends of the Tyne Pedestrian and Cyclist Tunnels in the UK.
Opened for the Festival of Britain in 1951, the tunnels run under the Tyne river and connect the towns of Howdon and Jarrow. A £6.9 million refurbishment project started in the spring of 2013, and will now be helped along by the efficiency enabled by Ievo’s fingerprint-based access control solution, with the company’s turnstiles set to service a construction staff expected to grow from 60 to 120 by the construction’s conclusion next year.
The company was contracted by Phoenix Eye Security, whose Business Development Manager, Craig White, explained in a statement that his company has used Ievo technology before, adding that “our staff recommend it in a variety of sectors, particularly construction where workers may not have the cleanest hands but we haven’t had a failure yet!”
Indeed, Ievo’s technology has been used by most of the UK’s top construction companies, though Ievo was also deployed at a physiotherapy center last year and recently attained CPNI accreditation opening opportunities for deployments in the government sector.
