Case Study: St Peter's School, Cambridge
After five years of using the Gallagher security system, St Peter’s School, Cambridge – one of the leading independent, co-educational secondary schools in New Zealand – has seen a remarkable ROI. By monitoring access reports on support staff time, the school has seen a reduction in invoiced working hours.
The biggest savings have been made through integrating the Gallagher system with building management systems – the Gallagher platform controlling access, heating and lighting. These efficiencies mean that complete payback on the system will be achieved within two years.
Gallagher’s security solution will be installed in Cambodia’s first high-rise building, Vattanac Capital Tower.
At 183.8 meters high, the 39-storey building will be the tallest building in Phnom Penh and the city’s most prestigious commercial address, ultimately providing a unique cultural presence. Designed to meet the needs of Cambodia’s developing business community the high-rise will include trading floors, offices, high-end retail and luxury serviced apartments.
Gallagher Business Development Manager, Ian Meadows, says the exclusive development will be secured by Gallagher’s Command Centre, a Central Management Platform for Integrated Access control, designed and manufactured by the New Zealand based technology company, Gallagher.
Incorporating the Gallagher security solution will also enable a high level interface to the Schindler elevator system enabling system operators to monitor all access from one central point.
The security project will be managed by Gallagher’s Channel Partners Comin Khmere, Cambodia and AES Group, Thailand.

Integrity of Data Protection - Gallagher access control readers deliver unparalleled reader security
The first installation of the Gallagher D21 Sensors at a correctional facility in Indiana, USA has been completed successfully.
The D21 Disturbance Sensor, which is offered as part of the Gallagher perimeter security solution, can measure and analyze the impact on the security fence when disturbed. The sensor only proceeds to signal an alarm event when certain limits are exceeded, preventing any nuisance or “false” alarms caused by wind or rain, for example.
When Gallagher certified channel partner Security Automation Systems, Inc was approached by the Indiana Department of Correction to propose a perimeter detection system, the D21 disturbance sensors were proposed for two primary reasons.
“First, the D21 sensors integrate seamlessly with the Gallagher Command Centre software, which was a key factor in the decision process. We were already integrating non-lethal electric fencing, door control and video systems with Command Centre and the state preferred not to add another, separate system. The second reason we chose the D21 sensors was cost. Compared to other technologies considered by the state the D21 sensors were the most cost-effective solution,” says Ryan Tomlinson from Security Automation Systems.
Mr Tomlinson had confidence in Gallagher and its products to carry out the job successfully. “Although this was to be our first installation of the D21 product, we were confident that between the technical ability of our staff and the support from Gallagher, we would be able to provide a successful installation,” he says. “The D21 sensors were simple to install. They easily mounted to fence posts and other structures the system was monitoring and installing the communications backbone was low-cost and straightforward.”
“After the initial process of setting the address of each sensor, we were able to power-up each new zone of sensors and get them on-line with the Gallagher Controller 6000s. Next, we were able to individually adjust the parameters of each sensor, and monitor real-time data in Command Centre according to the particular characteristics of the structure the sensor was affixed to. Overall, I was impressed with the ease of installation, the adjustability of the sensors and how well the sensors integrate with the Command Centre software.”
Approximately 1000 feet of interior chain link fence around the facility’s administration building was successfully protected with the cost-effective, yet highly secure perimeter security solutions offered by Gallagher.
Case Study: Birmingham Water
By using the Gallagher Code of Practice, Birmingham Water in Alabama in the US was able to conform to local ordinances related to electric fencing. The Code, along with minimum installation standards, exceeds the requirements of all national and international standards for safety and the application of electric fence systems.
Case Study: La Trobe University
La Trobe University in Melbourne, Australia covers a massive 330 hectares with 60 buildings spread across several campuses. It has migrated to the latest Gallagher Command Centre software platform and it now has 1012 doors across its campuses, protecting a large number of facilities. “The Gallagher system is rapidly developing into an outstanding product,” said Wayne Aldous, Security Manager – Infrastructure and Operations Division, Security and Traffic Unit. “I have worked with many access control systems in the past and it beats everything out there”.
Case Study: Guangzhou Airport
Gallagher’s security system provides flexibility and scalability that is essential for the expanding Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport. A major gateway to China, it is the largest airport in the south and the operational base for China Southern Airlines. As the burgeoning Chinese economy continues to expand, transport volume and demand for efficient transport networks increases with it. Gallagher’s security system is perfectly designed to keep pace with the airport’s growth.
