Security on Building Sites
Building sites can be attractive targets for would be intruders as they tend to have valuable equipment and building materials on site during the build. While the site would obviously be very vulnerable at night when it is empty of personnel, it is also a concern during the day particularly with the large movement of contractors in and around the site.
Vandalism on Sites
It can be difficult to protect a building site as the nature of it means that is always evolving as the build reaches a new stage. Apart from theft, vandalism can be an issue that can cost money and downtime. Any anti-social behaviour that delays the work will incur costs for the developer.
Deter, Detect, Protect & Respond
A robust solution will involve a variety of steps and multiple layers of security to protect the site and its assets.
Deter: We would look to deter the would-be intruder with CCTV in plain sight. We would restrict access to the actual building site using access control measures ensuring that only authorised personnel could gain entry.
Detect: Should somebody try to gain entry, we would detect them by using perimeter protection that allows us to see them in advance of them trying to gain entry. This is done via surveillance using CCTV placed in strategic positions.
Protect: Equipment, materials and staff need protection. We monitor and record all activity to ensure only authorised people are on site and we keep an eye on valuable equipment and materials when the site is unoccupied at night or weekends. All monitored remotely by expert staff using the latest technology.
Respond: Should an incident occur, a rapid response is important. We monitor and react via a monitoring centre based in Ireland that remotely monitor 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Our team will liaise with the Gardai when necessary and provide video footage for supporting investigations.
