A particular type of security building installation calls for platform or tower mounting. The vantage point provided by the elevated security building gives security personnel an excellent view and the ability to spot trouble while it is still far away. A tower mounted security building is particularly useful at the perimeter of highly sensitive facility such as a nuclear plant, penitentiary, or a forward operating base. Think crow’s nest on an old time navy sailing ship.

Depending on the personality and surroundings of the compound or installation, the platform mounted security building could be built with bullet resistant construction. Bullet resistant levels to resist small hand guns up to high powered military rifles are available from Par-Kut International. Sliding gun ports, HVAC systems and sloped roofs to shed lob explosives are also available to upgrade the security guard shelter. The stairs for the tower are best made from non-slip materials with the finish on the treads being hot dip galvanized steel; same as the railings, stringers, and support columns.

Another application for an elevated security building is installing one in a large surface area parking lot. A staffed security guard building serves as a criminal deterrent in this situation when located in a vehicle storage or parking lot as it allows the security officers the “birds eye” view point. The height of the platform or stand is somewhat proportional to the size of the parking lot being observed. One option with an elevated parking lot security building from Par-Kut is storage underneath it, which could be concealed with sheet metal finished to match the guard house.

Border crossings, truck inspection lanes, industrial scales and control booths can also utilize elevated security buildings. A border crossing can provide one bi-level inspection booth to allow customs officers to check both trucks & passenger vehicles. These highly customized security booths have on grade access for automobiles and interior steps and upper level sliding windows and doors for truck traffic. Border crossing security booths are often bullet resistant, too.

Booths and security buildings for industrial facilities, truck scales and control pulpits are often mounted on customer provided block or steel platforms.

All Par-Kut security buildings have lifting rings to simplify the installation atop the tower or platform. All internal electric is prewired to a wall mounted circuit breaker box to provide a single point electric feed connection. Par-Kut security buildings ship out by truck and are complete and ready for use after bolting in place and electric hook up.
