Singapore has long been recognised for its commitment to safety, efficiency, and technological innovation, and its integration of advanced turnstile gates is a demonstration of that.
Designed to enhance security, streamline access, and manage high foot traffic, these intelligent systems are now a defining feature across the city’s busiest and most secure environments. From Singapore Changi Airport, where facial recognition speed gates ensure seamless passenger movement, to MRT stations that rely on high-performance barriers to control commuter flow, each location leverages different types of turnstiles tailored to its operational needs.
1. Singapore Changi Airport
Renowned globally for its seamless operations and technological sophistication, Singapore Changi Airport stands as a prime example of how innovation enhances the passenger experience.
To maintain its world-class reputation, the airport employs Macrosafe MS03S speed turnstile gates integrated with facial recognition and temperature detection technology. This smart system not only enhances security but also supports health monitoring, ensuring that every traveller passes through safely and efficiently.
Moreover, the speed gates significantly reduce congestion during peak travel periods by allowing automated clearance and contactless processing, even in high-traffic zones. Designed with slim, space-efficient structures and wide glass panels, the turnstiles blend seamlessly into the airport’s modern architecture, while fast brushless motors ensure high throughput and durability.
2. MRT Stations
Singapore’s MRT network relies on advanced turnstile solutions to efficiently manage the constant flow of commuters. At busy stations, speed gates have been strategically installed to handle high pedestrian traffic with precision and reliability. These security systems offer fast, secure access, ensuring that passenger movement remains smooth and orderly even during peak hours.
3. Jurong Island
As one of Singapore’s most secure and strategically significant industrial zones, Jurong Island requires a robust, efficient access control system to manage its high-security environment. To achieve this, the facility employs high-speed turnstiles equipped with CEM S600 contactless smart card readers, allowing personnel to pass through with rapid clearance and minimal manual checks.
Complementing this is an electronic pass application system that enables visitor card issuance in under a minute, effectively reducing entry delays and improving operational efficiency.
For vehicular access, long-range Automatic Vehicle Identification (AVI) readers have revolutionised the entry process, reducing clearance time from 10 minutes to just 1. Furthermore, the entire infrastructure is integrated with CCTV surveillance, intrusion detection systems, and cloud-based monitoring, creating a comprehensive, multi-layered security network.
4. The Istana & Government Buildings
In Singapore’s high-security government facilities, maintaining a balance between safety, accessibility, and regulatory compliance is paramount.
To ensure this, these buildings are equipped with non-revolving turnstiles and flap or swing gates that effectively manage entry while adhering to Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) fire safety regulations. Designed with a minimum clear width of 460mm, these turnstiles ensure sufficient exit capacity during emergencies, providing a secure yet safe egress route for occupants.
Moreover, the gates are intelligently programmed to adapt to different scenarios, controlling public access during open house events while restricting entry strictly to authorised personnel at other times.
5. Marina Bay Financial Towers & CBD Towers
Within Singapore’s bustling central business district, landmark office towers such as the Marina Bay Financial Centre (MBFC) and One Raffles Quay have adopted flap barriers and turnstile systems equipped with biometric and access card authentication to safeguard their premises.
These turnstiles enforce strict entrance control, ensuring that employees and visitors can only enter designated lift lobbies and authorised zones, thereby strengthening security across tenant spaces and sensitive areas.
To further enhance surveillance, CCTV cameras continuously monitor all entrances and exits, with on-site security personnel and routine patrols providing added vigilance. Additionally, visitor and delivery passes are issued through controlled turnstile gates, preventing unauthorised entry and reducing the risk of tailgating.
