World Port Center Opts for TKH Security’s 5-Star Security Management System
Any company can establish itself in the World Port Center (WPC), a building with international allure. The 124-metre office tower has been regarded as one of the most prestigious buildings in Rotterdam, for almost twenty years. Various tenants are based in the building, such as the Port of Rotterdam Authority and the Rotterdam-Rijnmond Safety Region. Both companies that, in addition to hospitality, also attach great importance to good security and safety of the building.
Challenge
As one of Rotterdam’s sky-high office towers, the World Port Center (WPC) saw its surroundings change from an old, dilapidated port area into an ultramodern and multifunctional district in just under twenty years. Recently, the board decided to create an inviting entrance for all tenants and visitors in the prestigious building with a 5-star security management system.
Solution
Taking WPC’s wishes under consideration, we offered IPROTECT Access Control - our security management system to which all underlying systems could be connected. Every tenant has the option to set up the system separately to his own specific wishes, whereby the structure of the system meets the strictest security requirements of the government and is fully GDPR proof.
Providing easy access
The separation between the generally accessible areas and the offices in the WPC is realized by means of high-tech speed lanes on the ground floor. Central access is provided by means of facial recognition, smartphone or an access pass, depending on the choice of the tenants. Users and guests can request access rights and plan their visits via the web portal. Upon arrival, guests can then submit an access request themselves via a self-service terminal or they can contact one of the hosts.
Video surveillance
Several surveillance cameras have been installed at the entrance gates in the main hall. These are monitored via our integrated video management system - VDG SENSE VMS. Access and storage of images takes place at the user level in accordance with privacy guidelines.
Communication
A Commend-branded SIP intercom system is used to gain access to the various secured locations within the property. This system allows visitors to communicate with security from the entrance to the various secured areas, such as the bicycle shed, the supplier entrance, and the waste container area.
“By introducing a new access control system in combination with facial recognition, WPC proves that you can work in a state-of-the-art office building with a 5-star security management system, without having to compromise on hospitality”
