In the 18th century, a guard house or shack was a place where sentries would rest in between their shifts. These were the forerunner of the modern security guard booth. Today, security guards often spend most of their days in a Delta Scientific guard booth, keeping constant watch over the premises either with their eyes alone or with the help of a video surveillance system. Guard booths also provide shelter from the elements. Our guard booths have uses for various property types, including government buildings, military installations, commercial properties, and residential communities.
The Importance of Port Security Barriers
Every year, billions of dollars in valuable cargo is shipped around the world and passes through ports by the ton. In addition, millions of people travel around the world by sea and by air every year. Port security is a collaborative effort by organizations around the world to safeguard the ports, the people and cargo traveling through them, and the countries in which the ports are located from various potential threats. We at Delta Scientific offer several products with applications for port security.

Air travel declined during the COVID-19 pandemic, partly because of government restrictions and partly because of people’s fears about contracting the virus while on a plane. As the number of infections and hospitalizations goes down, those roadblocks are slowly being removed, and more people are flying. We at Delta Scientific know that more air traffic means a greater need for security to keep travelers safe.
