Security Systems in Portage la Prairie

Portage la Prairie is one of the few places in Canada where the CPR and CN railways meet, and the Trans-Canada Highway (Highway 1) runs past the city. Freight, trucking yards and warehouses follow. The local economy is largely agriculture and the industries that support it, so the security systems we install in Portage la Prairie go into yards and plants as much as shops, and we serve all of it from Winnipeg.

Security Systems for Portage la Prairie Truck Gates and Rail-Side Yards

Trucking, transportation, chemical and fertilizer firms and farm machinery dealers all operate in Portage la Prairie. For a yard that sees trucks all day, the first job is the gate. We aim a camera at the vehicles coming through, add lighting for night video, and cover the dock with a second view. We train the yard manager before we leave, so pulling a clip does not take a call to us.

A fertilizer or chemical operation also needs to control who can enter specific buildings. We set door access by person and by shift, and we remove a former employee’s access without changing a lock.

McMillan Industrial Park and the Food Plants

McMillan Industrial Park, on the eastern edge of the city, hosts food science labs, food processing, construction and manufacturing. Elsewhere in Portage la Prairie there are potato processing plants and a large oat mill. Plants like these have yards, loading areas and staff on shifts.

We plan the whole site as one commercial security system: the gate, the docks, the plant doors and the office. That way the plant manager works with one system, not four.

Southport, the College Campus and West-End Retail

During the Second World War the RCAF built a base here under the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan. It is now 3 Canadian Forces Flying Training School at Southport, and Red River College has a Portage Campus. Institutions like these combine staff, students, visitors and contractors, with entrances that need different rules and a clear view of who is arriving.

Portage la Prairie’s big-box stores began operating on the west end in 2007. A retail unit in a plaza has its own entrance, back door and stockroom. A camera on each door and an alarm cover the hours between closing and opening.

Older Core, Follow-Up From Winnipeg

Portage la Prairie began as the French fur-trade post Fort La Reine in 1738, was settled around Crescent Lake in 1851, became a town in 1880 and a city in 1907. In the older commercial core, we survey the existing wiring and doors before we quote. We evaluate the site, send an itemized estimate, then install. After that, we offer service calls and maintenance contracts, and you can reach the same company that installed the system.
