About the project

In addition, Gilston installed security devices including photo electric beams, motion sensors, detectors and alarms for high security art amid more than 100,000 visitors each year.

  • Over 200 fire alarm devices.
  • Over 150 security system devices.
  • Over 100 lighting fixtures.

  • Over 2 miles of cable.
