Automatic Tripod Turnstile Installation at CBRE Offices, Rotherham
About CBRE (Installed by Us on Behalf of Asset Building)
CBRE is a leading property and real estate services company with office buildings across the UK. This project took place at their Rotherham office building as part of a larger renovation managed by Asset Building. We were contracted to supply and install automatic tripod turnstiles in the newly refurbished reception area.
The tripod turnstiles – together with a glass swing gate to cater for wheelchair access – have been installed in the main corridor just outside the gym. They have a passing frequency of 20-40 people a minute, unlock duration of 2-60 seconds (default is 5 seconds), anti-collision and anti-slip features, and people counting. Anti Slip makes no sense as there is no floorplate.
The controlled access turnstiles – which replace the previous mechanical ones – are fully automatic and have LED status displays. They feature pre-installed QR scanners which are push-mounted onto the tops of the turnstile frames. UK Turnstiles customised the tops of each unit with ‘scan’ and ‘tap’ graphics and customer branding.
The Challenge: Securing a Modern Office Reception
The Rotherham site needed a reliable, staff-free entrance control solution that would integrate seamlessly with their existing access control system. The goal was to:
- Prevent unauthorised entry into office areas.
- Maintain a smooth flow of people during busy times.
- Match the modern aesthetics of the refurbished reception.
Our Solution: Two UKT-10 Fully Automatic Tripod Turnstiles
Project Name: Entrance Control Turnstiles – Rotherham
Date Completed: Wednesday 10th April 2024
We installed two UKT-10 fully automatic tripod turnstiles, positioned to work alongside the existing gate on site. These were selected for their:
- Automatic, hands-free operation for smooth and efficient entry.
- Durable design suitable for high-traffic office environments.
- Integration capabilities with the site’s current access control system.

Results & Benefits
The new entrance control system has transformed the reception area, providing:
- Staff-Free Operation: No need for manual entry checks.
- Improved Security: Only authorised personnel can pass through.
- Seamless Member Flow: Reduces congestion at peak times.
- Modern Appearance: Matches the style of the refurbished reception.
Feedback from the site team has been positive with the system operating smoothly from day one.
Why This Matters for Office Buildings
In today’s workplace, secure and efficient entry control systems are essential. By combining automatic tripod turnstiles with existing access control systems, businesses can:
- Improve on-site security.
- Enhance visitor and employee experience.
- Reduce operational costs by eliminating the need for dedicated entry staff.
