Manchester Construction Site Security Company
Manchester certainly is enjoying a very high number of developments in and around the city. Construction projects are in abundance and the levels of investment are very high. One major issue that comes with these many construction sites is the issue of construction site security in Manchester and surrounding areas.
Manchester Construction Sites are Easy Targets
It is a fact that construction sites are relatively easy targets. There are a number of reasons for this but the main one is a lack of planning for any high level security for the construction site. There are budgets in place for security in most instances but often these are cut in an attempt to make the project more profitable. The reality is that security should not be overlooked.
The Real Cost Of Crime on Manchester Construction Sites
Most people’s expectations of security for a construction site are perimeter fencing initially, with an access controlled gate perhaps. This can have a level of success if implemented correctly but sometimes much theft from construction sites comes from within. There needs to be an effective deterrent in place to prevent employees and contractors from stealing plant, machinery and tooling from the construction site.
Then there are the organised crime gangs that target construction sites in Manchester and nationally, after hours with the intention of stealing plant and machinery which is often very expensive.
A construction site that has had a night raid will suffer the consequences of business interruption, potentially on a huge scale. Imagine 10 – 15 contractors unable to work as they await new essential plant and machinery to the construction site. If this runs into a number of days the expense can be significant.
CCTV is an effective option to prevent crime and theft at night. But one of the strongest deterrents available to prevent opportunist or organised crime on construction sites in Manchester are manned guards. Offering a high visibility presence, manned security guards are fast to respond and can be a highly cost effective security solution. When you consider the prevention of business interruption, a high visibility security guard can pay their fees many times over in the prevention of theft and damage.
