Data centers, warehouses, and other industrial facilities are increasingly in need of on-site access controls. This includes structures like fences, gates, security cages, and guard booths, both inside and outside your facility.
Years ago, a traditional security booth may have only required a small enclosed space with a sliding window, a chair, and a small lighting system. Today, modern security booths can include numerous features that allow perimeter guards and interior security teams to provide multiple layers of monitoring and detection.
Obtaining security booths and guard shacks that suit your facility’s space and functional needs can be challenging without the right source. Fortunately, KABTech is a modular construction manufacturer with a specialty in building guard booths to your custom specifications, quickly enhancing the security measures at your facility.
What Makes a Modern Guard Booth
While guardhouses and booths may not have undergone significant exterior changes, there have been notable developments in their interior construction and design over the last several decades. Here are a few key differences that distinguish modern guard booths from their predecessors:
Stronger Structural Integrity
Modern guard houses are often required to have a frame made of highly durable materials, such as steel or aluminum. They typically also require impact-resistant wall panels and reinforced glass windows.
Fortunately, KABTech manufactures security guard booths with these materials as a standard. Our booths are built to last, ensuring the safety of the job site and the comfort and productivity of security staff.
Enhanced Employee Protection & Comfort
Today’s guard booths also exist as a long-term solution for your site’s security. Part of that initiative is to make them a comfortable and safe structure for your security team to work in. That’s why several options have full-scale construction features, including:
- Filtered ventilation
- Climate control systems
- Noise reduction installations
- Full-view window layouts
These keep your security personnel focused on their tasks by providing an isolated space to work, while also preventing them from harm by outside industrial contaminants or noise from your heavy-duty machinery.
Integrated Modern Security Systems
Finally, one of the major components modern guard shelters need is surveillance and electronic access systems, as well as built-in connections to intercoms and communications equipment. KABTech can assist with integrating these modern systems into your current security booth.
However, if you’d like to keep your existing systems, we can also provide you with cable management systems and electrical packages. That way, you can easily implement your own once we deliver your pre-assembled guard booths.
Key Features Every Security Booth Should Offer
Now that we’ve discussed the overall elements that make up a modern security booth, let’s delve into the specific features you should look for:
- High-Strength Construction Materials: Engineered for long-term use in industrial facilities, the best modern guard shacks will be made of steel or aluminum. If placed outside, they should have weather-resistant wall panels (like galvanized steel or aluminum composite). Your industrial facility can’t go without a proper access control point, so your booth needs to be made of materials that last.
- Climate Control & Environmental Protection: This includes HVAC systems, insulation installed in the wall panels of the booth, as well as anti-UV coating and weatherproofing on the glass and exterior walls.
- Panoramic Visibility & Safety Glass: Many modern booths include large windows on every side, providing security teams inside with a 360° view of their surroundings. The glass also comes in tempered, laminated, or anti-ballistic for high-security locations.
- Integrated Electrical & Technical Systems: Modern booths also have pre-wired electrical systems, including data ports, outlets, and light fixtures. They may also provide narrow channels within the walls for cables and connections for security cameras, intercoms, and alarms.
- Ergonomic Interior Layouts: Work surfaces and countertops are strategically placed in key areas around the booth to accommodate monitors and electronic control systems. They may also include storage installations, such as pre-installed cabinets and drawers.
These key features are what you’ll find in permanently installed or portable guard booths. And that’s only the surface of what you’ll get when you work with KABTech.
