Access control systems for Fort McMurray buildings
Crews on rotation, shops that run around the clock and managers who are often in another city make access control in Fort McMurray different. We design and install fob, card and mobile access for shops, offices, rental buildings and yard gates across Wood Buffalo.
Northern winters are hard on exterior doors, readers and gate operators, so we choose hardware rated for deep cold and plan backup power. Most changes, like adding a new crew, are made remotely between visits.
Serving Fort McMurray and the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo as part of our Alberta and BC service area, supported from our Edmonton head office.
