Guard Introduction to the Guard House

When it comes to protection, a guard house is more essential now than any other time in history. Also referred to as guard booth, security booth, watch house, and guard shack, among others, this type of building is used for a variety of applications.

From an historical viewpoint, the guard house was used in places where guards or sentries did not stand post. While on duty sentries slept, ate, and remained in guard houses in order to protect villages and towns.

Although a guard house serves much the same purpose today as it did centuries ago, design and functionality are dramatically different. Because the type and level of threats to businesses, housing complexes, jails, government buildings, airports, and other facilities has changed, a modern day guard house is not only manned by highly trained and skilled personnel but also outfitted with state-of-the-art security technology.

Guard Shack — Popular and Important Add-on a Business Should Consider

Regardless of your industry, keeping your business protected is a priority. In today’s uncertain times, you must take steps to be certain your facility is secure at all times. While installing a security system is one way to keep your building safe, it’s also vital to have trained staff at strategic locations on your property.

Naturally, when positioning security staff on your property, it’s also important to take steps to be sure that staff can be in communication with one another and are protected from the elements. Installing a guard shack can help make that process easier. Depending on the nature of your facility, you might even find it beneficial to install more than one guard building. Given the latest advances in technology, it’s possible to ensure that all of your security buildings are connected—from a communications point of view--to make certain you always know what is going on.

Protect People and Equipment from Wind Through Prefab Shelters

As you drive through town, there is a good chance that you have seen prefab shelters or prefab guard booth along the way without realizing what they are or how they benefit people. Also referred to as factory-built and pre-engineered shelters or enclosures, these standing structures work perfectly to protect people and equipment from the harsh elements.

Outstanding Protection from the Elements

Prefab shelters can be designed specifically for your needs based on where you live and the type of protection you require. This type of shelter helps keep people and equipment out of the rain, snow, wind, and hot sun. If preferred, you can have your new shelter enhanced with things like way-finding signage, tinted or frosted glass, unique roof treatments, paint colors, and more.

In addition to being customized to your exact specifications, once factory construction is complete, assembly requires no on-site labor. With a rugged design and construction of welded steel, a pre-engineered shelter is strong and durable. Once delivered to your location, usually a forklift is the only equipment needed to place it on top of a pre-poured concrete slab.

Applications of Control Booths in Industrial Operations

Although many industries use control booths, they have become a common fixture for industrial businesses. Specific to industrial operations, these booths are used for a variety of applications with the overall goal of protecting workers, the property, equipment, and goods inside. 

Common Industrial Applications 

• Guard House – Often, control booths are used as a type of guard house. With an increasing need for security, these booths are outfitted with the necessary equipment for this very purpose. When placed outside away from the main building, the booth attendant can monitor and control comings and goings. If required, a camera, floodlights, and other safety features can be added. 

• Information – This type of booth also serves as a point of information. For instance, people visiting a manufacturing company, plant, mine, mill, railyard, dredge, or warehouse can stop by the booth to get information and directions. This allows your attendant to guide traffic where it is supposed to go. By choosing a booth with 360-degree visibility, visitors can easily identify the booth. However, this also gives the attendant a better view of people and the property.
