Project Details

Project Name: Knox Park Primary School Security Upgrade
Project Type: Educational facility (Primary School)
Location: Victoria, Australia

Scope of Work

• Installation of metal perimeter fencing
• Supply and installation of an automatic sliding gate system
• Integration of Italian-made gate motor (V2 automation system)
• Electrical setup, tuning, and system calibration
• On-site installation and testing

Project Challenges

School environments require a careful balance between:

• High-level security to protect students
• Controlled access for staff and visitors
• Reliability for daily frequent use
• Child-safe design and compliance

Additionally, the system needed to operate smoothly during peak times such as morning drop-offs and afternoon pick-ups, where traffic flow is critical.

Boswen’s Solution

Boswen delivered a fully integrated fencing and automated gate system designed specifically for school use.

Automatic Sliding Gate System

The installation includes a motorised sliding gate, providing:

• Smooth and efficient entry/exit control
• Reduced manual handling for staff
• Secure closure outside operating hours
• Compatibility with access control systems

The system is powered by a high-performance Italian-made motor, professionally installed and fine-tuned for reliability and longevity.

High-Security Metal Fencing

A robust steel picket fence system was installed around the perimeter, offering:

• Strong physical security barrier
• Clear visibility for supervision
• Anti-climb design for added safety
• Long-lasting durability with minimal maintenance

This fencing solution ensures the school grounds remain secure without feeling closed off or restrictive.

Precision Installation & Tuning

Boswen’s team handled the full installation process, including:

• Accurate alignment of gate tracks and posts
• Electrical wiring and system setup
• Motor calibration and performance tuning
• Safety testing and final commissioning

This ensures the gate operates smoothly, quietly, and consistently, even under frequent daily use.

Project Outcome

The Knox Park Primary School now benefits from:

• Improved student and staff safety
• Controlled and secure site access
• Reliable automated gate operation
• A clean, modern, and professional entrance

The project demonstrates Boswen’s expertise in delivering school-grade security solutions that meet both functional and safety requirements.
