The new Ziggo Dome concert venue in Amsterdam, which is currently under construction, has chosen to install access control and intrusion detection systems from Nedap Security Management. Automatic Signal Rijsenhout will carry out the project implementation. The unique location is being built next door to te Amsterdam ArenA and will accommodate 15,650 music fans.

The Ziggo Dome concert venue has a floor area of 90 by 90 metres and extends to a height of 30 metres. The Dome is planned to accommodate an a udience of 15,650 including Member Seats. In total, on a time scale of five years from project completion, more than one million visitors and in excess of 100 events are expected on an annual basis. The ultramodern concert venue requires an advanced and up-to-date security system that will offer both access control for more than 75 doors and integrated intruder detection.

Employees and tenants will gain entry and leave the building through doors that are equipped with Nedap’s Invexs 190 Mifare readers with keypads. The AEOS ‘graphical alarm handler’ will be used to manage collaboration between the security system and third party systems such as the temperature sensors in the beer coolers. [www.nedap.com]
