Scaffold alarms

When clad in scaffolding, previously safe upper levels of a building are made vulnerable by providing new access points to would-be intruders. The presence of scaffolding also compromises the insurance of your property and neighbouring buildings, something many householders and business owners don’t realise until they need to submit a claim following a burglary.

Temporary CCTV

It is a sad reality that in some instances, construction site theft is carried out by employees and contractors, as well as intruders. The installation of temporary CCTV not only acts as a powerful deterrent to would-be thieves (whoever they might be), it also helps manage health and safety, enabling you to view unfortunate industrial accidents should they occur.

Crane alarms

It’s not just criminals who represent a threat. Thrill seekers will sadly risk their lives to climb cranes and post ‘selfies’ of their antics on YouTube and social media. Recent years has also seen a growth in so called ‘BASE jumpers’, who leap from high fixed structures, including cranes, using wingsuits or parachutes. Whatever their aim, trespassers pose a significant financial threat to your project, with a London Premiership football club recently facing a £1m bill, after police spent 18 hours negotiating with a man who threatened to jump from a crane on their new stadium site.
