Access Control That Goes Beyond the Gate

Facial Recognition Turnstiles Built for Construction

HammerTech and Irongate connect digital safety and biometric access to streamline who’s on site, when, and why – no swipe cards or siloed systems.

The Problems at the Gate

Disconnected systems slow down onboarding, increase risk, and create hours of admin. Here's where it breaks down:

Manual Check-In

Paper sign-ins and card systems can’t verify who’s inducted, trained, or even meant to be on site.

Lost Time, Lost Visibility

Site teams chase missing photos, re-key induction data, and lose sight of who’s on site in real time.

Inaccurate Hours

Without verified access logs, time records are manual, inconsistent, and open to dispute.

Know Who's On Site — And That They're Ready

Only inducted and approved workers gain access. It’s that simple.

Facial Recognition Sync: Pre-approved worker photos automatically sync from HammerTech to the turnstile – no separate database.
Induction-Linked Entry: Uninducted or expired workers? They won’t get through the gate.
No Re-Keying: HammerTech profiles, inductions, and credentials update access in real-time.

Does facial recognition work with PPE?

Yes. The system recognises workers in hard hats and standard PPE. If facial scan fails (e.g., due to sunglasses), workers can use QR code, RFID, or PIN as backup.

Is it compliant with GDPR?

Yes. Biometric data is encrypted, securely stored, and only used for access control purposes – never shared with HammerTech or outside parties.

How does the Irongate Solution help to track accurate worker hours?

Turnstile time in and out data per worker ensures precise labour hour tracking. This prevents discrepancies and claims related to inaccurate worker hours.

What makes the Irongate access control system more robust compared to other solutions?

Irongate Solutions is tailored for construction and built to endure harsh site conditions. This prevents breakdowns, bottlenecks, and disruptions, making it a superior choice for construction sites.

Can this solution scale to small or large projects?

Yes. Whether you're managing one gate or a multi-phase site with thousands of workers, the solution scales easily.

What if my site already has turnstiles?

Irongate can retrofit onto most existing turnstile setups and integrate with widely used cameras.
