Construction sites are high-risk environments—not just for safety, but for theft, trespassing, and vandalism. With valuable tools, materials, and machinery often left on-site overnight, having a robust construction site security plan in place is critical.

Why Construction Sites Are Targeted

Open perimeters, low visibility after dark, and minimal staff presence outside working hours make construction zones a common target for opportunistic criminals. Copper wiring, fuel, plant machinery, and tools are often stolen and sold on.

What Effective Security Looks Like

Security for construction sites should include a mix of manned guarding, mobile patrols, and CCTV monitoring. High-visibility patrols act as a deterrent, while mobile teams can respond quickly to any sign of unauthorised access. Access control systems, perimeter fencing, and lighting also play a key role.

Dog Units for High-Risk Areas

In high-theft or remote locations, security dog handler patrols provide an extra layer of protection. The presence of a dog and handler is often enough to prevent break-ins, especially at night when most incidents occur.

Tailored Protection for Each Project

No two sites are the same. A reliable security provider will carry out a risk assessment and create a plan tailored to your site’s size, location, and risk profile. Security should evolve with the project, from groundwork to handover.
