Logistics centers grow fast – and so do the security requirements. During construction, the focus is on site security, access and fire protection. In operation, gatehouse, truck handling and plant security are added. Planning both from one source avoids gaps at handover.

Construction phase: a large site with heavy delivery traffic

• Site security and patrols, especially at night and at weekends
• Access control for trades and subcontractors
• Traffic marshals for safe site access
• Fire watch during hot works

Commissioning: the critical transition

Between completion and full operation, responsibilities, access rules and contacts change. This is exactly where security gaps appear when construction and operational security come from different providers and the handover is not planned properly.

Live operation: gatehouse, truck handling, plant security

• Gatehouse and visitor management
• Truck handling at the gate, coordinated with dispatch
• Plant security and mobile patrols
• Documentation in the digital site log

English at the gate

Logistics sites bring together international hauliers and drivers. All Solid Safety staff speak English – which speeds up handling and avoids misunderstandings.

Conclusion

A security concept that covers both construction and operation saves time and coordination effort. More on our page Logistics center security.
