Access to security that is always sea-worthy

Wind. Water. Salt. When you’re building big vessels that can’t have even the smallest mistake, you need to be able to protect them from the elements. That protection is especially valuable when you’re constructing military ships and submarines. Shipyards are highly specialised areas, but with years of experience we count ourselves as specialists.

Protecting vessels until they are ready to set sail

Shipyards are some of the most specialised building sites around, involving large scale machinery in challenging environments. Our solutions will make sure site security is plain sailing.

Ships are often huge projects, so you need equipment big and sturdy enough to accommodate both them and the serious machinery needed for construction. We can supply you with doors large enough to fit anything up to and including a cruise liner.

Entrances need to be tough as well, ready to handle the unique conditions of the seafront. Even our most sophisticated equipment can cope with exposure to water and salt alongside the usual wear and tear of a busy building site. 

Knowing you can rely on entrances to always be up to the job is especially important when protecting sensitive sites. Security measures such as keycards keep even top-secret military submarines under wraps. Whatever you’re building, we’ll keep it safe and secure until their first voyage.
