Transport & Logistics Property Services
Guardian Edge supports transport and logistics property across the UK — depots, transport yards, workshops and driver facilities — where operations run around the clock and site access control is an operational requirement rather than a security preference.
What makes this sector different
The pressures on transportation & logistics property
Sector-specific risks
- Fuel storage, workshops and vehicle movements concentrated on one site
- Theft of fuel, vehicles and load
- Pedestrian and vehicle interaction in yards
Typical property challenges
- Continuous operation with no maintenance window
- Large hardstanding areas under constant heavy load
- Sites that grew incrementally rather than being planned
Compliance pressures
- DSEAR duties where fuel is stored and dispensed
- Workshop electrical and equipment safety
- Yard lighting adequate for safe operation at night
Business continuity
- A failed gate or barrier blocks the whole operation
- Yard flooding can take a site out of use entirely
By discipline
What that means in practice
Fire requirements
- Detection and extinguishing provision in workshops and fuelling areas
- Separation between vehicle areas and occupied buildings
Security concerns
- ANPR and automated gate control for vehicle movements
- Perimeter CCTV and detection on large open sites
- Driver facility access control out of hours
Maintenance requirements
- Yard drainage, gullies and interceptors maintained on schedule
- Surfacing and line marking
- 24-hour reactive cover matching operational hours
Multi-site
Running more than one of these
The difficulty in this sector is rarely a single building. It is holding a consistent position across all of them.
