High-speed doors and roller shutter coordination

Snack Brands Food Processing Facility

Smithfield, Sydney

Site challenge: A food processing shutdown window required a compliant rapid PVC curtain door, loading dock coordination, equipment delivery, and parallel roller shutter works with very little room for delay.

Rapid outcome: Rapid planned the installation around the shutdown, coordinated with project managers, completed the work safely, and helped the facility return to productive operation.

  • Food processing environment
  • Two-day shutdown window
  • Health and safety compliance focus

Security gate installation and boom gate integration

Undisclosed Military Base

Sydney

Site challenge: A restricted site needed secure entrance and exit gates, telescopic movement where space was limited, heavy-duty anti-climb profiles, and integration from local and remote security control points.

Rapid outcome: Rapid supplied secure gate systems, coordinated foundations and traffic controls, and improved the operation after installation by integrating the boom gate control sequence.

  • High-security site
  • Telescopic and heavy gate design
  • Remote security control integration

Pedestrian and vehicle traffic control

WestConnex M4-M5 Link Tunnel

Sydney

Site challenge: A live infrastructure site needed pedestrian safety gates, boom barriers, flashing lights, safety sensors, remote controls, and a wireless solution where ground cabling was restricted.

Rapid outcome: Rapid supplied and installed linked pedestrian and vehicle controls, sourced a same-day wireless interface, trained staff, and kept works moving around tight access and traffic constraints.

  • Major infrastructure site
  • 10 pedestrian safety gates
  • 5 heavy-duty vehicle barriers

Boom gate, traffic lights, and security spikes

Europe Car Rental

Canberra Airport

Site challenge: A busy car rental yard needed to prevent unauthorised vehicle removal while still allowing staff to move vehicles quickly through a controlled airport car park pathway.

Rapid outcome: Rapid integrated boom gates, vehicle spikes, traffic lights, remotes, keypad override, and safety photo beams to control vehicle movement without slowing daily operations.

  • Airport car park environment
  • Boom gate and spike integration
  • One-way traffic control
