🔹 Static Guarding
Static guarding provides a continuous security presence on site. Officers conduct regular foot patrols, inspect fence lines, and maintain a log of site activity. This service is designed to protect people, property, and assets through direct supervision.
🚧 Gatehouse Security
Gatehouse officers act as the primary point of access control. Duties include logging all vehicles entering and exiting the site, checking delivery manifests, and preventing unauthorised public access to hazardous work zones.
🔑 Access Control Management
We manage physical access points such as turnstiles and site entrances. Officers issue temporary passes, verify credentials, and ensure that only authorised personnel and inducted workers enter the site.
👔 Corporate & Office Security
For site offices and marketing suites, we provide officers who manage front-of-house duties. This includes staff access control, internal patrols, and visitor logging while maintaining a professional appearance.
