Security that goes up and comes down.

At Westpoint we know that a successful mass event takes much more than good functional organisation. The safety of the attending public is just as critical. With years of experience in physical security, we have developed specialist services to protect every kind of temporary event, from mass concerts to corporate conferences.

We understand what the client needs and we provide electronic security to the highest standard.

At Westpoint we understand that security is not limited to permanent installations. Temporary mass events such as concerts, conferences, trade fairs and exhibitions also need proper measures in place to protect the attending public.

Our services in this field can be provided directly by our own staff when the event takes place in our region of direct operation.

But we also have agreements with qualified technology partners in other regions, who act as our representatives to deliver temporary installations to our own high standards.

The process begins with a detailed analysis of the physical place where the event will be held. Our specialists survey the characteristics of the site: dimensions, number of vehicle and pedestrian entrances, position of buildings and structures, obstacles, recreation areas, and anything else relevant to security.

We also assess in detail factors such as the expected number of attendees, the likely density and distribution of the crowd, the type of activities to be held, the timetable, the total duration of the event, the expected weather conditions, potential threats, and other operational variables.

With all of that, our specialist staff draw up a full risk map, which makes it possible to identify the critical points to be covered and the security resources needed. On that basis a plan is designed for the specific event.

While every solution is adapted to the particulars of each case, there is a set of security components that typically form part of our complete proposals for temporary events:

· CCTV cameras: temporary cameras monitored from a centralised control room provide live surveillance.

· Signs and wayfinding: orientation signs help guide the movement of people. Others give key information about exits, facilities, prohibitions and so on.

· Extinguishers and detectors: placed at set distances in line with the standards, they allow rapid control of a fire in its early stages.

· Occupancy control: the only solution on the market approved for occupancy control at events

Once the event has finished, our engineers dismantle all the temporary installations quickly and in an orderly way.

External structures such as barriers and signs, along with all the electronic and electrical equipment, are removed, leaving the site in exactly the condition it was in before the set-up.

We also carry out a thorough clean, removing any waste left in the area. Finally, a last inspection walk is done to check that nothing related to the event's security has been left behind.

So our complete service includes dismantling and tidy restoration once the event is over, quickly freeing the space for its usual use.

With temporary mass events becoming ever more popular, having professional security has become essential to safeguard the wellbeing of the attending public.

At Westpoint we have the experience, the resources and the technology partners to deliver these short-lived installations end to end, adapted to each particular situation.

Whether it is a concert, an international conference or a company's most important event of the year, our clients can concentrate on the attendees' experience and on the success of the event, trusting its security to genuine specialists.

Do not compromise on the security of your events. Trust WestPoint for your peace of mind and that of your attendees.
