Controlware wins award for St Pancras project

26 Mar 08

The refurbishment and extension of St Pancras International is part of High Speed 1, Britain’s first major rail project for over a century and the UK’s biggest ever construction project. Working with the Costain, O'Rourke, Bachy and Emcor Rail (CORBER) consortium and Rail Link Engineering, Controlware provided technical design, product supply, integration, commissioning and operator training services for a 450 camera surveillance solution.

Controlware developed its solution around Bosch IP products. It includes a mixture of both static and dome cameras, IP codecs, networked storage and an advanced management platform. Throughout the lifetime of the project Controlware worked very closely with CORBER at all levels to ensure that the extensive CCTV surveillance solution was fully integrated with other management systems including: intruder systems, electronic access control, station management and help points.

The European IT Excellence Awards attracted entries from more than 30 countries and an independent panel of consultants and editors selected the winners.

“The Controlware solution at St Pancras is an excellent demonstration of converged unified communications technologies being deployed in a critical live environment,” said John Chapman, awards organiser and Editorial Director of IT Europa. “The judges were particularly impressed with sheer scale of the project and the detailed planning and implementation alongside the CORBER teams. The result is a solution bringing together what were disparate technologies into an integrated and managed security environment.”
