Construction Security Midlands

Construction site security has become a major issue with construction projects, especially over the last few years. The sheer volume of construction sites in the Midlands has increased massively recently and Plus Security Ltd are the ideal Midlands construction security company to help and advice on developing and implementing a security strategy, before you experience any major security issues.

The Governments’ house building scheme across the UK has created thousands of construction sites that require security protocols creating and implementing. The volume of businesses resident across the Midlands region means that there are huge increases in commercial construction sites. Hotels are being built and developed across the Midlands, as well as new office blocks and road and rail infrastructure projects. New warehousing is being built across the region, which is recognised as being centrally placed and ideal to serve the deliveries to the many millions of online orders being placed daily.

Implementing A Construction Site Security Protocol

Planning is the key to implementing a successful construction security policy. Many construction sites ‘cobble together’ what is perceived as an effective security solution that unfortunately unravels very quickly. Once that a few security breaches have taken place, that may include vandalism or theft of expensive plant, machinery and tooling then construction site operators start to be faced with the down time from staff and contractors waiting for new plant and tooling to be delivered. They also face the wrath of insurance companies who are rapidly demanding higher security protocols to go along with their ever-increasing construction site insurance policies.

There are many considerations when considering a construction security strategy. These include of course the location, is the site rural with easy and discreet night time access? Or is the construction site in a busy city centre where there are thousands of people passing hourly? These two different construction sites offer very different and challenging security solutions.

Construction Site Security Considerations

Plus Security Ltd has vast experience in devising security strategies for construction sites across the Midlands and the whole of the UK. Our experience can be invaluable when initially assessing construction site projects and how best to maintain the highest levels of security and protection. Some of these considerations include:

• Manned guards
• K9 dog patrols
• 24/7 CCTV recording and monitoring
• Maximising perimeter security
• Managing site access and implementing access control systems
• Rapid response units
• Night time lighting for remote construction sites

Each construction security solution is different and needs careful analysis at the early stages of planning. Quite often, expensive plant and machinery is hard to replace quickly. Construction sites have traditionally been seen as easy pickings for criminals. With less than 10% of stolen plant and machinery stolen from construction sites ever recovered it is clearly not an area of high activity for the Police.
