Guardhouses
Guardhouses
The modular guardhouse, is a Blast and Bullet resistant structure combining the benefits of high quality finished aluminium windows with the strength of steel to provide a secure environment, in the event of an explosion or ballistic attack.
The unit has been designed to ensure that the client does not have to compromise their architectural creativeness, in the pursuit of protecting life.
The new Main Entrance guardhouse at the British Embassy in Khartoum, gave an opportunity to demonstrate the flexibility of our existing product range. A standard design modular guardhouse was extended to incorporate a search area to one side acting as a suicide bomb enclosure.
The guardhouse has been designed to resist the effects of a vehicle being trapped in the blocker and detonating. The guardhouse was fully manufactured and fitted out internally, and shipped to site for placement on a pre-constructed concrete base. The unit was operational within 24 hours of arrival on site.
