The Importance of Keeping Construction Sites Secure

Whether you’re right at the beginning of a build or close to finishing, construction sites are a natural target for thieves due to the plethora of high value equipment, machinery, and materials kept on site. As such, it is important to keep a watchful eye over your site, both night and day. This is where construction site security comes in.

The two most popular solutions for construction site security are Mobile Security Patrols and Manned Guarding.

Manned Guarding is the archetypal form of guarding, placing a security guard on site either at a given post or to make rounds of the premises. These guards can protect a location up to 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, providing you and your on-site staff with peace of mind.

Mobile Security Patrols offer a slightly more cost-effective solution to construction site security. With this style of security solution security guards will arrive on site at designated intervals in order to survey and check the premises. And in case of an emergency on site during their designated hours, be it an alarm response or a key-holding need, the security officer will quickly return to the site and take necessary action.

Thus, depending on your security needs and your budget, there are plenty of security solutions open to ensure your construction site, and all the assets kept within, will remain secure 24/7.
