Construction Site Security

CONSTRUCTION SITE

Overview

Vigilant Security Services has been protecting construction sites across the UK since 2006. Building materials and equipment are popular targets for thieves, leading to project delays and unnecessary expense. Construction sites also attract unwanted visitors such as trespassers and vandals. Where security in construction sites is poor, or non-existent, the risk of losses from theft is high, costing UK insurers hundreds of millions of Pounds each year. Our construction protective services offer two lines of defence: Security Systems for detection and monitoring, and Security Officers for static and/or mobile patrol. We only deploy the most professional construction security guards with relevant, industry-specific experience. All our 'on-site' security officers are SIA licensed and carry CSCS cards.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you secure construction sites?

We protect construction sites across the UK with 24/7 surveillance, access control and asset protection, safeguarding equipment, materials and personnel at vulnerable building locations.

Can you protect plant, equipment and materials from theft?

Yes. Our construction security combines on-site officers, access control and surveillance to deter and prevent theft of plant, tools and materials, which are common targets on building sites.

Do you provide 24-hour cover for construction sites?

Yes. We provide round-the-clock construction site security, including overnight and weekend cover when sites are unoccupied and most at risk.

Can you control access for contractors and deliveries?

Yes. We manage site access for workers, contractors and deliveries, helping you maintain a controlled, compliant and safe site environment.
