A site that needs securing will need to be assessed so developers can be made aware of the various ways they might be targeted and how to provide effective protection. This is a free service.

Construction Site Security

There is a wide threat of theft, damage and intrusion that can happen on a construction site. Some of the measures that can be put in place to keep your building sites protected:

  • Security patrols by onsite guards
  • CCTV monitoring
  • Video guards
  • Lighting
  • Alarms
  • Locks, padlocks and safes (to give individual vehicles, fuel stores, and other on-site equipment and documents their own protection.)
  • Anti-climb fences, heras fencing, etc.

Theft of Machinery

The presence of expensive equipment is tempting for many criminals. Theft of construction machines is “low-risk” for criminals for a variety of reasons. Easy to access and no security means criminals are unlikely to be caught. The machines themselves have few security features. Some have one-key-fits-all ignitions and most construction vehicles are not registered, making them difficult to track down if they are stolen, and therefore easy to sell.

Theft of Materials and Fuel

Construction site security assures that materials stay on site. Copper tubing and wire cable, in particular, have been widely targeted by thieves. Fuel, too, is a valuable commodity and often the target of a construction site theft, whether stolen from storage or vehicles themselves. With the cost of living rising, this can make removable materials easy to sell at a price below market value.

Vandalism and Arson

Break-ins to existing and part constructed buildings – Construction sites aren’t always creating new buildings so work taking place on an existing building, there is the risk of intruders breaking in via new points of entry or compromised existing ones.

We have a detailed sample security patrol video that effectively showcases the various checks we undertake at a partially completed construction site. This video should vividly demonstrate how we meticulously inspect all doors and windows to ensure they are secure and not accessible to unauthorised individuals.

Furthermore, the footage includes our vigilant monitoring of any cars that may be parked out of sight, as this is an essential part of our protocol to ensure that those vehicles cannot easily access the site when needed.

In addition to these elements, the video features comprehensive footage of our thorough examination of the perimeter fences, padlocks, and gates surrounding the construction area. This will illustrate our commitment to maintaining a secure environment and highlight the importance of these security measures. By showcasing these aspects, we aim to reinforce how Oncilla takes every possible precaution to make it exceedingly challenging for anyone attempting to enter the site without proper authorisation.

Overall, the video should present a clear picture of our dedication to security and our proactive approach to safeguarding the construction site from potential threats.
