High-Visibility AM Pedestal Retrofit for Sports Entertainment Venue
Tagmax was commissioned by a popular sports entertainment venue to design and install a high-visibility asset protection solution for their specialised darts merchandise store. This project marked our first system installation for this prominent entertainment venue, which required immediate, robust theft deterrence to secure a diverse range of sports apparel, accessories, and high-value equipment.
The client required a powerful visual deterrent to discourage shoplifting while ensuring the security infrastructure completely blended into the modern architectural aesthetic of the venue.
The Project: Overcoming Complex Architectural Constraints
Installing a robust security system within an established entertainment venue required precision engineering. The layout demanded a clean, hidden infrastructure layout with no exposed wiring or floor hazards.
Key Project Objectives:
- High-Visibility Theft Deterrence: Deploy a premium X-Clear AM Pedestal System to secure all high-value merchandise.
- Strategic Spatial Positioning: Install the pedestals safely clear of the main entrance door movement while maintaining a strong detection field.
- Invisible Infrastructure: Execute a complex technical retrofit by embedding all power and data lines within the existing floor and wall structures.
Action Taken: Advanced Sub-Floor and Wall Engineering
- Behind-the-Door Positioning: To maintain an unobstructed customer flow and protect the hardware from impact, our engineers installed the pedestals at a 1.9-metre separation, positioned strategically behind the door leaf.
- Sub-Floor Cable Chasing: Achieving a flush, trip-free finish required extensive groundwork. The Tagmax engineering team carefully lifted the existing entrance matting, chased the structural cables directly into the sub-floor, and professionally re-grouted the floor area.
- Concealed Wall & Ceiling Routing: To supply power and data without unsightly surface conduit, cables destined for the ceiling cavity were expertly fished through a hollow wall section, hiding the structural infrastructure completely from public view.
Minimised Site Disruption: Working within a live, busy entertainment environment, our in-house engineering team collaborated closely with the venue's on-site staff to ensure a remarkably clean install with zero impact on daily operations.
Result and Client Benefit: Premium Protection for High-Traffic Retail
The completed installation provides the venue with an uncompromising security presence that perfectly balances high-performance loss prevention with clean, high-end aesthetics.
Key Outcomes:
- Comprehensive Merchandise Security: All specialized sports inventory is now fully protected by a high-frequency AM security system.
- Flawless Structural Finish: Thanks to expert chasing, re-grouting, and hollow-wall routing, there are zero visible cables, preserving the venue's premium look.
- Optimised Entrance Flow: Placing the pedestals at 1.9 metres behind the door leaf ensures maximum detection coverage without narrowing the busy customer threshold.
- A Strong Foundation: The successful delivery of this pristine installation has established a trusted partnership with the entertainment venue group for future retail projects.
