Construction Site Security
Solutions designed around your risks, your site, and your project.
Every construction site is different.
Site layout, location, stage of development, working hours, assets and surrounding environment all influence the risks you face. We start by carrying out a site survey to understand your site risks. We use proactive site specific intelligence to understand the risk around the site as well as the vulnerabilities within it, and we design a bespoke security solution that combines intelligent technology, highly visible deterrents and real-time monitoring.

Why Choose VPS Construction Security?
VPS combines multiple layers of protection to create a solution designed around your individual site.
We Protect Your Project Timelines:
Keep your programme moving by identifying risks early and responding quickly when incidents occur. Delays caused by theft or damage can cost far more than the stolen materials.
We Minimise Your Project Disruption:
Effective site security is about more than preventing incidents. It’s about protecting the wider project. VPS reduce the impact of security incidents on site operations and your wider project.
We Adapt As Your Project Changes:
Review and evolve your security as your site moves from groundworks through construction, fit-out and handover.

Groundworks
Protect plant, equipment, materials and vulnerable areas and install signage.
Construction

Handover
Maintain appropriate protection through to final handover and occupation.
Potential Risks
Theft | Vandalism/Arson | Fire/Water Loss
The construction industry loses over £800 million annually due to plant theft, vandalism, water loss, and fire.
Risk Mitigation
Construction sites often need to temporarily store valuable machinery, tools, materials, and fuel, making them attractive targets for criminals. Remote, large, or unmanned sites are particularly vulnerable, leading to project delays and increased costs due to missing machinery or materials.
Mitigation:
VPS provides effective security controls to deter, detect, delay, and deny offenders. Our comprehensive solutions include CCTV, asset alarms and tracking, physical barriers for access control, and physical security officers ready to respond to incidents or alarms.
Vandals may target construction sites to commit arson, damaging machinery and materials and causing significant project delays.
Mitigation:
Our integrated solutions feature monitored video technology for real-time intruder and fire detection. Mobile security officers are available to respond promptly to any incidents, ensuring quick resolution and minimizing damage.
Fire and water loss cost the construction industry over £1 million per day. Whether accidental or deliberate, these incidents can severely disrupt your project.
Mitigation:
VPS offers real-time alerts and monitoring services to prevent and manage fire risks. Our solutions also detect water and fuel loss and can shut off the leak at its source to minimize damage.
Construction sites present a range of security challenges. Whether your project is at a greenfield site or in the demolition stage, VPS provides the advice and solutions needed to ensure site security.
Using the CCTV security system to provide the photographic record of the development not only helps provide extra protection to the site by promoting its use and acting as a deterrent, but also supports our drive to engage the community and encourage them to get involved with the project.
