Prefabricated Guard Shacks as Security Guard Shacks
Many companies require strict security measures both inside and outside their buildings. Prefabricated guard shacks are the perfect enclosures for creating office space for employees in charge of keeping the premises secure, as well as providing them protection from the elements outdoors. Guard shack enclosures also make separate and secure offices indoors as well. They can be placed almost anywhere, and with 360-degree windows, they provide a guard or supervisor a panoramic view of the facility. Guard shacks are also used by the military. They are built to withstand extreme temperatures as well as to provide protection against attack. Many of these portable buildings have ballistics protection built in but are still portable so they can be moved quickly.
Guard Shacks as Ticket Booths or Gate Houses
When keeping track of attendance is an issue, a prefab guard shack makes a great ticket booth or gatehouse. In either instance, this portable building allows the gatekeeper to keep track of all the people and vehicles coming into and going out of the premises without having to battle the weather. Electrical and lighting can be added to these buildings to provide the necessary functionality needed to perform these tasks.
Pre-Assembled Buildings as Mobile Offices
While it’s obvious that these pre-assembled buildings can be used as outdoor separate enclosures, it’s important to note that they can also be used indoors as well. When placed strategically in the building, they provide mobile office space where none existed before. Since these buildings can be customized to meet the needs of the user, things like electrical, lighting and windows can be added to provide all the comforts of a permanent office.
Benefits of using a Modular Guard Shack
Choosing a modular guard shack over a traditional structure affords its owner several benefits. First and foremost, this type of structure is portable. This means it can be moved at any time for any reason. If you move from one location to another, you can take your portable guard booth with you.
Because the portable guard shacks are built to move, they are actually more structurally sound once in place than most buildings. And because it’s made to travel, these buildings are held to a stricter building code. This means they are a more stable and structurally-sound work environment. Another large benefit to choosing pre-assembled guard shacks for your business is that they create less environmental disturbance. This is true in a couple of different ways.
First, putting up a prefabricated guard shack at your work site causes less disturbance for your workers and for the surrounding area. They are mostly constructed off-site in our facility and arrive at your location pre-assembled. Neighbors don’t have to put up with excess noise, dirt or traffic due to construction workers and machinery. Secondly, because a portable guard shack is built to be reused, with as little waste as possible, it leaves a smaller carbon footprint on the environment.
