Winter presents significant challenges for site security, with longer nights and adverse weather conditions creating opportunities for criminals to exploit. Unprotected sites are especially vulnerable to break-ins, vandalism, and theft during this time. Ensuring your security measures are reliable and fit for purpose is essential to safeguarding your property and assets.
These are some of the most effective ways to keep your site secure:
Security Lighting
Darkness provides cover for opportunistic intruders, making well-lit areas a powerful deterrent. Installing security lights, either as standalone units or integrated with a CCTV tower, ensures that key areas are illuminated and visible. The sudden activation of a bright light can immediately deter potential intruders, sending a clear message that your site is monitored and secure.
Mobile CCTV Towers
Fixed CCTV systems aren’t always a practical option for construction sites, especially those requiring flexibility. Mobile CCTV towers offer a versatile and reliable alternative, providing rapid deployment by our security experts. These towers deliver 24/7 surveillance, with footage monitored in real-time by our control room. Equipped with advanced motion sensors, they can distinguish between genuine threats and harmless activity, ensuring accurate and effective protection, even in low-light conditions.
Site Security Checks
Randomised inspections by our mobile patrol units provide an effective way to safeguard your site during the night. Our trained security professionals conduct thorough perimeter checks, ensuring all gates and entry points are secure while looking for signs of vandalism or attempted access. These regular patrols act as both a deterrent and a swift response mechanism to keep your site fully protected.
Boarding Up Services
For sites left temporarily unoccupied during the winter, securing access points like doors and windows is critical. Our boarding-up service uses robust steel panels to block unauthorised access and prevent damage from harsh weather conditions. This is a fast and effective solution for maintaining the safety of your site.
Marpol Sentry
For rapid-deployment security, our Marpol Sentry units are an ideal solution. These self-contained systems are equipped with CCTV cameras, motion sensors, and alarms to provide 24/7 protection. They are perfect for construction sites or other temporary locations requiring an immediate and visible deterrent.
Manned Guarding
For sites requiring a reliable on-site presence, our manned guarding services provide an effective solution. Our SIA-licensed officers are trained to deter intruders, monitor activity, and respond swiftly to any security threats. Their professional and proactive approach ensures your site remains secure at all times, offering peace of mind and protection against potential risks.
K-9 Units
For an advanced level of security, our K-9 units deliver unmatched deterrence and threat detection. Each unit comprises a highly trained security dog and an experienced handler working together to patrol your site and identify potential risks. With their heightened senses and ability to detect threats others might miss, K-9 units are particularly effective for high-risk or expansive sites, ensuring comprehensive protection.
