Securing Vital Services: IntrudaGuard® Screens Installed at Westpac Life Saver Rescue Helicopter Facility

We’re proud to announce the completion of a recent project for the Westpac Life Saver Rescue Helicopter Service in Carrara, where we installed IntrudaGuard® security screens. This organisation plays an essential role in Gold Coast by providing lifesaving rescue services, and we are honoured to have been involved in enhancing the security of their facility.

IntrudaGuard®: Strength and Security

The decision to use IntrudaGuard® security screens was driven by their proven effectiveness in protecting against forced entry. IntrudaGuard® is made from marine-grade aluminium, known for its durability and resistance to corrosion, especially in harsh climates. These screens provide a significant level of protection while maintaining a sleek, modern appearance that complements the building’s overall aesthetic​​.

What makes IntrudaGuard® ideal for such an important facility is its rigorous testing to meet Australian standards. The screens have passed impact resistance tests, knife shear tests, and jemmy attacks, ensuring they offer robust protection against potential threats​. Given that doors and windows are the most common points of entry in break-ins, it was crucial to install security screens that are up to the task.

A Practical and Aesthetic Solution

In addition to security, IntrudaGuard® screens offer excellent visibility and airflow. With a 119-degree viewing angle, staff members at the rescue service can monitor the outside of the building without compromising on security. The perforated aluminium design allows for free-flowing air, which is a key benefit for maintaining a comfortable environment, especially during Queensland’s warmer months​​.

Moreover, the screens are designed to be low-maintenance and corrosion-resistant, making them a durable, long-term solution for the facility. This was an important consideration for the Westpac Life Saver Rescue Helicopter Service, as the screens need to withstand both environmental factors and the high traffic typical of such a critical operation center.

Customised for the Facility’s Needs

Every building presents unique challenges when it comes to security, and the rescue service facility was no exception. We custom-built each screen to fit the various doors and windows, ensuring that no access point was left vulnerable. The screens blend seamlessly with the design of the building, offering a balance between aesthetics and function. The clean lines of the IntrudaGuard® design help to maintain the professional look of the facility while significantly enhancing its security​.

Contributing to a Lifesaving Cause

Working on this project was especially meaningful because of the nature of the service provided by the Westpac Life Saver Rescue Helicopter. Their dedication to saving lives across Queensland is inspiring, and we are glad to play a small role in supporting their mission. With the added security, they can focus on their critical work, knowing that their facility is protected from potential threats.

This project highlights the importance of security in operational facilities like this one, where protecting staff, equipment, and resources is a priority. By choosing high-quality, rigorously tested security solutions, we hope to contribute to the ongoing safety of those who work tirelessly to protect and save lives.
