Before an ATM, Teller Cash Recycler (TCR), or Security Gate is ever installed, one crucial step determines whether everything runs smoothly: the site survey. It might not grab headlines, but it’s the foundation of a successful and secure installation.
A site survey is a comprehensive on-site assessment that identifies the best setup for your banking equipment. It considers everything from power supply and cabling to space, visibility, accessibility, and security.
For ATMs and other self-service devices, a professional site survey ensures compliance with safety standards, accessibility requirements, and local building codes — while optimising customer convenience and flow.
Why It Matters
Skipping or rushing the site survey phase can lead to costly delays, inefficient layouts, and even safety risks. A detailed survey helps to:
Avoid installation issues: Prevent technical problems like incorrect cabling or insufficient power points.
Ensure security and compliance: Verify physical security standards and meet compliance regulations (like DDA or accessibility).
Maximise space and usability: Design a layout that enhances customer experience and operational efficiency.
Prevent future costs: Identify structural or access limitations early, before equipment is ordered or installed.
