Merseyside Construction Site Security
Security on construction sites in Merseyside is a major issue for contractors and development companies. Traditionally, Construction sites have been seen as relatively easy targets for the would be ‘chancer’ thieves, but more and more organised professional crime gangs are targeting construction sites as a highly lucrative resource. Merseyside construction site security has become a huge issue. There are a number of reasons for this which include:
- Relatively poor security on and around construction sites
- Access control systems are limited, allowing relatively easy access to Merseyside construction sites with poor security
- CCTV is often used as an after-thought, post security breach
- Less than 10% of plant and machinery stolen from construction sites are ever recovered
Plus Security Ltd are a specialist construction site security company that supplies security solutions to the Merseyside area. We specialise in some key areas of security that include:
- Construction site security fencing
- Construction site access control and management
- CCTV security recordings and camera monitoring for construction sites
- High visibility manned guarding for construction sites
- K9 and dog patrols for construction sites
- Rapid response units for construction site security in Merseyside
Often we are asked to check out construction site security after a security breach has taken place. It is often relatively easy to understand where the weak elements are in he site security strategy but sometimes reinforcing these just focuses attention to other weak security areas.
A full construction site security assessment needs to be carried out to ensure that the best possible security solutions are implemented as quickly as possible. Insurance companies grow frustrated with repeated security breaches, damage to property as well as theft of plant and machinery. In some instances the insurance premiums become unrealistic, requiring some very harsh security solutions to be employed to protect sites and assets.
The Actual Cost Of Poor Security – Can it be Measured?
The actual cost of poor security is hard to quantify. The obvious and defined costs are those stolen plant and machinery, expensive tooling and repairs to property from vandalism. Hidden costs include higher insurance premiums of construction sites and potential penalty clauses for not hitting agreed construction milestone targets. Our specialist teams can help with all aspects of security, from devising the most effective security measures to implementing and managing them on your behalf.
