Durasteel Vault
Your will and other important documents will be stored in a Durasteel Vault
The Durasteel vault is fire resistant. The vaults are humidity-controlled, fully alarmed, CCTV monitored, and access is controlled via a swipe card.
The vaults have the added fire protection of Inergen gas systems within them.
Fire Protection
All The Hill Company records centres benefit from the latest fire protection systems which include:
- VESDA (Very Early Smoke Detection Apparatus) smoke detectors – The VESDA system is a laser based smoke detection system that actively draws air into its sampler and can detect fires earlier than other systems. It sends a warning to the operations team with a zonal reference if smoke is detected.
- Zonal monitoring systems linked to Redcare – If an alarm is raised it will automatically alert the relevant emergency service.
- Zonal sprinkler system – Should the sprinkler system be required, it would only be activated in the area of the fire. This avoids jeopardising the entire archive.
Internal Security
- Visitors are by appointment only, signed in and escorted – Prior to site visits, visitors & contractors are requested to complete visitor entry forms and confidentiality agreements.
- Access control – All doors leading to the records centres and admin areas are only accessible with a swipe access card.
- Internal and external colour CCTV cameras for 24-hour surveillance
recorded to a digital video recorder – digital recorder is in a secure area and holds recordings for 30 days.
External Security
- Record Centres – All sites are standalone buildings with sole occupancy.
- Perimeter fencing – around the entirety of all sites.
- Security lighting – Lighting external areas to enable CCTV to record.
- Overnight patrols – Random time inspections of the exterior of the Building.
- Police & Key Holder response – Intruder activations are alerted to the Police and key holders by the monitoring station.
