    Site Access Control FAQs

    Why do I need both HammerTech and Irongate for construction site access control?

     

    Irongate provides the physical access control hardware at the gate, including turnstiles and facial recognition. HammerTech manages worker profiles, orientations, and compliance status. Together, they create a connected workflow where Irongate grants or denies entry based automatically on HammerTech compliance data.

    How does Irongate prevent non-compliant workers from accessing the jobsite?

     

    Irongate checks each worker's compliance status against their HammerTech profile at the point of entry. Workers who have missing orientations or expired credentials are automatically denied access without manual intervention.

    Does HammerTech and Irongate support the enforcement of SST cards?

     

    Yes. The integration automates SST card enforcement at the point of entry, as required on major NYC construction sites. When a worker taps their card, access is granted only if it is valid and current, keeping teams protected from fines and stop-work orders.

    Does Irongate's facial recognition work with construction PPE?

     

    Yes. Irongate's facial recognition is designed for active sites and recognizes workers wearing hard hats and clear safety glasses. RFID cards, QR codes, and PIN entry are available as backup methods.

    How does Irongate track worker hours in HammerTech?

     

    Irongate captures each worker's sign-in and sign-out time at the turnstile and syncs that data directly into HammerTech daily reports, providing accurate labor hours without manual timesheets.

    How are facial recognition and biometric data managed?

     

    Facial recognition data is processed and secured by Irongate for identity verification at site entry. Biometric data is not stored in HammerTech; the platform only receives access status and compliance information.

    Can Irongate and HammerTech scale across projects of different sizes?

     

    Yes. The integration supports everything from smaller jobsites using QR code sign-in to large, high-traffic projects with multiple Irongate turnstiles.
