For those that work in construction, a large amount of planning and scheduling is required, in the interest of completing jobs as efficiently and quickly as possible.
From putting together the initial plans to recruiting a team of skilled workers, there is much to do in the way of organisation, even before the job has started. One further aspect you may want to take into consideration is the security of the site and later, the building, as work begins.
After a long day of working and making progress on a project, it’s important that the site is secured not only to prevent theft and/or vandalism but also in the interest of safety. Building sites should be open to authorised personnel only, at all times and this includes hours out-with the working day.
As work begins, you should consider installing barricades and fencing around the perimeter of the site to deter unauthorised individuals from entering the premises. Installing such security measures will reduce the likelihood of paying for damage or repairs to the site, which would ultimately impact the building process and therefore work schedule.
Again, as progress is made and a structure is in place, it’s becomes even more relevant to secure the building, to prevent vandalism or damage of a near-finished project. For larger sites, for example, large housing estates or office buildings, you may consider the use of CCTV technology, providing 24/7 security.
“Construction sites are dynamic, never static and there is always something going on. We regularly provide guards, towers and CCTV systems to large sites throughout the UK regardless of their state of completion” – Shirley Duffus, SPS Managing Director
Using the latest technology, SPS CCTV services are available for both internal and external installation and are usable in various applications. First and foremost, we will provide a full, comprehensive inspection of your property. Vacant properties will be surveyed to identify entry points, in order to determine where the building needs to be sealed and secured.
Following the installation of the required SPS products and services, our ARC will provide the necessary surveillance services. While some cameras require constant monitoring, others send signals when activated and can be accessed remotely, through mobiles and tablets.
CCTV is a further preventative measure and in the interest of initially securing the building, you may wish to install steel screens and doors, which can be installed without any damage to the existing structure. These fixtures not only restrict entry but are also more difficult to vandalise or damage.
Overall, it is important that in planning new projects, security is taken into consideration before the work begins and furthermore, is managed by a reliable team, as any damage, even early on will impact the progress of your work.
SPS products and services are available on a range of flexible hire and purchase options, so why not contact us to discuss how we can help, on 08457 62 65 42, sales@spsdoorguard.com, or via our Contact Us page on the menu bar. We look forward to hearing from you.
