Whether at a military base or a prison, guard towers help protect your facility by increasing a guard’s field of vision and keeping them safe from all conditions, be it environmental or job hazards.
Increase Guard Field of Vision & Safety
Guard towers help give guards an unobstructed view of the surrounding area, making sure that they can do their jobs effectively by being able to see anyone approach the area. To keep guards safe, overwatch towers have safety features such as:
- Full perimeter guard rails for walking areas to prevent accidental falls.
- All towers are designed to comply with seismic and wind load requirements for your geographical location.
- Stairs include integral guard and handrails for additional safety when utilizing the tower.
Withstand Environmental Conditions
Guards stationed in guard towers will need to know that the tower will protect them from the weather and stand up to those environmental conditions. As such, guard towers are designed to offer years of service through quality materials and construction:
- Weather Resistance: Galvanized steel construction eliminates rust and resists corrosion.
- All structural steel components to create a strong framework that ensures the longevity of the structure.
Our professional team of designers will work with you to design a guard tower that will meet your needs. They will also go over additional construction options so you get the tower that is best for your facility.
