British Transport Police: National Rail ANPR Project

Select Security won a National Rail ANPR Project, which consisted of installing high tech ANPR systems in 12 train stations across the country. The 12 sites distanced from Edinburgh to London, covering the most prestigious and busiest stations in the UK. 

 

Select won the project after completing a tender process, Select won the bid because they had the most experience and had our own in house cherry picker to enable us to carry out the installation and maintenance works whenever requested; 24 hours a day.

The job entailed countless hours of project management to organise the 12 train stations around the country as well as various health and safety rules and numerous hours of night work which enables Select to complete the project on time and within budget. Select liaised with a number of manufacturers and undertook many hours of training to enable the workforce to install a high tech ANPR system quickly and safely. The installation of the ANPR project took 3 weeks and included travelling from Edinburgh to Newcastle, Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool and onto London to cover the 12 major UK stations. The 3-week project required a specialist team of 2 project managers and 4 engineers to oversee the completion of the project. 

 

The main issue Select faced when completing the project was operating safely around members of the public; a number of train stations such as Charing Cross and Piccadilly were very busy even at midnight. Select were very proud to be chosen to carry out such a important project, the project ran smoothly and now provides clear number plate images for the Transport Police to use in their fight against crime and terrorism.
