Project Overview
Power Transport is a Sydney-based container transport and storage business established in 2016. Operating from a 13,000 sqm storage depot in Padstow strategically positioned just off the M5, the company manages FCL import and export deliveries, short and long-term container storage, and freight movements across the NSW and Interstate.
With a fleet of more than 80 prime movers, a team of trained drivers and reach stacker operators, and a constant flow of contractors, visitors, and vehicles through the site, Power Transport required a security solution capable of protecting high-value assets and maintaining safe, controlled operations around the clock.
Australia Security Forces was engaged to deliver a comprehensive, permanent security program across the Padstow depot covering everything from access control and fleet protection to CCTV monitoring and 24 hours guarding
The Challenge
Transport and logistics facilities are high-value targets. Power Transport’s Padstow depot faced a wide range of overlapping security risks across its yard, warehouse, fleet, and perimeter, many of them compounded by continuous vehicle traffic, variable staffing, and 24-hour operational activity.
Prior to engaging Australia Security Forces, the site had identified the following security vulnerabilities:
Left unaddressed, these risks posed serious financial, operational, and reputational consequences for the business. Power Transport needed a professional security partner capable of delivering complete, layered protection across all identified risk areas.
Our Security Solution
Australia Security Forces deployed trained, licensed security guards to deliver a comprehensive protection program across the Padstow facility. The solution was designed to address every identified risk area with layered, visible, and procedurally rigorous security services.
Access Control & Visitor Management
Our guards manage and monitor all personnel, contractors, and vehicles entering and exiting the site. Contractor inductions, visitor registers, and site access compliance are enforced at all times, significantly reducing the risk of unauthorised entry.
Asset & Fleet Protection
Security personnel maintain active protection of Power Transport’s fleet of prime movers, trailers, containers, warehouses, and depot equipment. Regular inspections of perimeter fencing, gates, and storage areas are conducted to prevent theft and vandalism before they occur.
CCTV Monitoring & Incident Response
Our guards provide continuous monitoring of the site’s CCTV surveillance network. Any suspicious activity, security breach, or emergency triggers an immediate response with all incidents formally reported and escalated in accordance with site protocols and WHS requirements.
Implementation
Before commencing operations, Australia Security Forces conducted a full site assessment of the Padstow depot to understand the layout, access points, high-risk zones, and operational patterns specific to Power Transport’s business.
Licensed security personnel were briefed on site-specific procedures, client requirements, and workplace health and safety obligations. Guards were integrated into the existing operational rhythm of the facility working alongside drivers, reach stacker operators, and management without disruption to daily freight movements.
All services are delivered in accordance with client instructions, WHS requirements, and industry best practices. The security program operates as an ongoing, permanent engagement adapting to Power Transport’s changing operational demands as the business continues to grow.
Client Outcome
Power Transport Australia now operates with a structured, professional security program that addresses every risk area previously identified across the Padstow depot. The engagement provides management with confidence that their fleet, cargo, staff, and facility are protected at all hours by licensed security guards who understand the specific demands of a high-volume transport and logistics environment.
The ongoing nature of the contract reflects the level of trust Power Transport has placed in Australia Security Forces to deliver consistent, reliable security across one of their most critical operational assets.
For transport companies, logistics operators, and depot managers facing similar security challenges, this engagement demonstrates what a well-planned, professionally delivered security program looks like in practice.
