Construction Site Security
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.
Key Features & Benefits
Our Approach
We review the site layout, access points, working hours, valuable assets, and operational risks before deployment.
Experienced construction security teams are briefed on site plans, access procedures, and escalation protocols.
Supervisors maintain oversight across site entrances, perimeters, storage areas, and other vulnerable zones.
Regular site reviews capture lessons learned to refine deployment and strengthen security planning as work progresses.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you secure construction sites?
We protect construction sites throughout the Republic of Ireland with security officers, mobile patrols, CCTV surveillance, access control and asset protection tailored to the site's requirements.
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.
Do you offer mobile patrols for construction sites?
Yes. Where a static presence isn't required around the clock, mobile patrols provide a cost-effective way to check sites at scheduled or random intervals.
