Comprehensive Construction Site Security Solutions

With extensive experience in delivering tailored construction site security solutions, we protect your valuable assets and keep your projects on track.

A robust security solution is highly recommended for construction sites, which may routinely face the following major threats:

• Theft prevention: Expensive machinery, tools, and materials are prime targets for theft.
• Vandalism protection: Damage to property and equipment can cause costly delays.
• Intruder access: Trespassers can pose health and safety risks and lead to potential liability issues.
• Fire detection for construction: Fires can spread quickly on construction sites, leading to significant financial and reputational damage.
• Flood monitoring: Flooding is another critical risk that can halt progress and cause structural damage.

The risks are real, but so are the solutions. With our Safer PODs - cutting-edge perimeter intrusion detection (PID) systems, bespoke CCTV solutions for construction and advanced PPE monitoring, Safer Group ensures that every aspect of your site is protected.

Theft and vandalism represent significant financial risks to the UK construction industry, with losses estimated to be at least £800 million per year.

This figure likely underestimates the true impact, as many incidents go unreported. High-value assets like plant machinery have a recovery rate of just 9% according to the Federation of Master Builders, making construction site security a critical investment.

Beyond the immediate replacement costs of stolen tools, equipment, and machinery, the indirect expenses of hiring replacements, project delays, and increased insurance premiums only heighten the financial strain on businesses.

Our strategy is to ensure that our clients’ sites are tough targets for crime, thus mitigating their risk of theft, fire, flood, vandalism, project delays and bad publicity.

Our work within the construction sector covers everything from property refurbishments through to large national infrastructure projects. We have extensive experience within the house building sector, for example, understanding the ever-changing risk profile as each build progresses, and how best to mitigate project risks flexibly in a proactive manner.

Construction sites face a wide array of threats, from theft and vandalism to unauthorised access and even sabotage. Having our dedicated team monitoring your site 24/7/365 ensures that any suspicious activity is detected immediately, allowing for a swift response and intervention before incidents escalate.

With advanced technology integrated into our site security systems, we not only keep an eye on site perimeters and key assets but also track intruder movements in real-time, triggering alerts for unusual behaviour. This constant vigilance deters criminal activity, minimises your downtime, and ensures that your project stays on schedule and within budget. Our goal is to protect your investment day and night, all year round.

Most Safer Group devices don’t just detect and deter intruders. We are a risk mitigation provider, which ensures total coverage of all major threats. Risk mitigation is becoming far more crucial to organisations within construction, with some major incidents in recent years raising the concerns of both siteholders and insurers alike.

While the threat of intrusion is still relevant, site holders often never account for industrial accidents, fires or floods taking place on site.

Flood risks are present, with poorly managed water drainage systems leading to significant damage. Safer Group’s POD systems are compliant with additional devices including water stop valves and water detectors, solutions that provide essential construction site security, protecting your vital assets.

Fire incidents on construction sites can have a serious impact, in 2023/24 318 occurred in England alone. While rare, they do often result in significant financial losses. The Glasgow School of Art Mackintosh building, the multi-million-pound Mandarin Hotel, and even the Notre Dame cathedral fire all stemmed from fire risks taking hold amidst active building sites.

These threats are real, but they can be managed. Our Fire detection solutions are HSG168 compliant, ensuring they are building site ready. Fire detection is mandatory for all organisations managing a construction project, and insurers often require visual verification or demonstratable evidence of events.

Our Safer POD PID systems, bespoke CCTV solutions, and HSG168-compliant fire detection solutions provide essential construction site security, protecting both workers and the public.

Solution

It was recommended that 5 ultra HD Analytics Enabled Static Cameras should be installed around the compound as well as 1 Pan-Tilt-Zoom Camera which is capable of remote directional and zoom control.

Benefits

These recommendations not only allowed the site manager to access the cameras onsite via and HD display that was installed in their office but also via their own personal device. Along with this, the Pan-Tilt-Zoom Camera allows for the camera to be moved remotely to check various areas around the camera to cover more ground on site. The cameras are also monitored by our SIA ACS Approved Monitoring Station to allow for further security.
