As part of a £4.7m facelift, Transport For London (TFL) has implemented a 33-camera CCTV security system at Turnpike Lane Bus Station. The installation includes CD3 dome camera housings and IH4 housings from Conway Security Products.
The original bus station was built in 1932 to coincide with the extension of the Piccadilly Line. It has been redesigned around a canopy structure in sympathy with the neighbouring tube station which is in the world famous Charles Holden art-deco style.
The Conway CD3 dome camera used at Turnpike Lane offers a high degree of vandal resistance plus an optically stable, flat screen, which prevents the picture degradation associated with looking through a “second lens” on standard domes.
The consultant for the project was Dave Cox of Dimension Productions Ltd. He comments; Conway worked closely and intelligently with all parties to come up with a creative solution, a dome housing which would integrate into the surroundings. This CCTV installation will serve many purposes. It will not only improve safety for customers but will act as a management and logistical tool for the bus operators.
Conway’s standard CD3 unit is manufactured from stainless steel with a powder coated surface. This finish can be in almost any colour required. For the Turnpike Lane project, however, TFL wanted a metallic finish to the units to match the surroundings. The housings were therefore manufactured from aluminium. This received a uniform finish before a final protective coating was applied. The IH4 and C440 housings supplied by Conway to the TFL project have been sprayed in dark green to match the predominant colours around the site.
The renovation of Turnpike Lane bus station involved the demolition of a neighbouring cinema which has been replaced with staff facilities and TFL office accommodation. The control aspects of the installation are benefiting from use of the ADPRO Amux system and a 20-channel multiplexer is being employed in conjunction with JVC monitors. The images can be viewed by bus operators and other interested parties from three locations in and around the Turnpike Lane station.
The station is making a significant contribution to the ongoing improvement of the whole transport infrastructure in North London and it allows for low-floor wheelchair accessible buses. The architect on the project was the Rogers Partnership and the installation was carried out by Wright Security. The turnkey civil engineering contractor was Kier (London.)
