Study Notes

Vehicle and Pedestrian Control Measures

  • Limit vehicle entry: Restrict the number of vehicles entering, especially those needing core access.
  • Separate entrances: Create distinct entrances for vehicles and pedestrians; pedestrians are easier to check.
  • Vehicular entrances: Use outer and inner vehicular entrances. Outer uses tokens/intercoms for access, inner for special vehicles.
  • Special access vehicles: Define "special access" to include maintenance, company, patrols, deliveries, and possibly senior executives' vehicles, requiring random/100% checks.
  • Outer Entrance Procedures: Tokens or intercoms for known users/visitors, with officers for peak times.
  • Parking: Most vehicles park outside the inner boundary.
  • Pedestrian Access: Pedestrian entry controlled through a checkpoint for inspections. Turnstiles may be used.

Gatehouse Design Considerations

  • Obstructed Road Access: Signage should deter unauthorized entry. Clear road access for vehicles.
  • Parking Area Control: Automated control (or card pass), with security during peak hours.
  • Manned Control Point: Only authorized vehicles pass, with a designated search bay. This follows PAS 96 UK standard.
  • Centralized Security Center: Security center should be centrally located within the site, reducing vulnerability to VBIEDs at the perimeter.
  • Gatehouse Functions: Vehicle control, pedestrian access, badge issuance, visitor reception, search area (and possible QRF).
  • Gatehouse Locking: Locked at all times, with working-hours access control (token access, keypad, latch).
  • Lighting/Visibility: Adequate task lighting, but limit external visibility. Special glazing possible. Full control of site security systems should be at the security center not the gatehouse.
  • Perimeter Entry: Limit the number of active perimeter gates to the minimum needed (US Army standard).

Additional Design Elements

  • Risk Management: Chicanes and road blockers to manage risk. Approach roads designed to slow vehicles and increase inspection opportunities.
  • Surveillance: Clear access and surveillance; regularly clear excess foliage.
  • Contractor/Delivery Entrances: Separate entrances for contractors/delivery vehicles on large sites.
