Construction Site Security.

Protect your construction site, residential spaces and assets. DeterTech is a trusted market leader in bespoke and temporary security.

Protect value, protect people, protect profit.

Your construction site is made up of thousands of individual assets, all of which are at risk. Losing just one of those assets, to theft or accident, can create delays and additional work, all of which eat into profits and, potentially, into the reputation of your brand.

Construction sites are particularly vulnerable to:

  • Premeditated theft of high value vehicles, tools and materials
  • Trespassers and vandalism, particularly arson
  • Opportunistic crime
  • Accidents and incidents.

Construction sites can be easy targets because they’re designed for heavy vehicle access, have temporary perimeters, and can go for days without any workforce present. There’s a lot of movement in and out of sites, making it easier for intruders to slip in unnoticed.

When sites are particularly vulnerable

  • At weekends
  • Between phases of work
  • In remote locations.

DeterTech protects thousands of these vulnerable sites through our integrated security solution, providing peace of mind to businesses and communities across the UK and Ireland.

Security designed for construction

Protection from beyond the site perimeter down to individual assets.

  • PID intruder detection
  • 24/7 CCTV monitoring
  • Visual and audible warnings
  • Forensic marking

Our integration of intelligence, monitoring and communication protects thousands of public and private sector construction sites.

How it works

Wherever your construction site is in the UK or Ireland, we can deliver and set up quickly – within 48 hours of your enquiry.

Whether it’s a temporary site or will be there for the long-term, our approach to setting up security remains the same.

Step 1. We survey your site

Our security experts evaluate the solutions that will be most suitable, giving you the most cost-effective combination of products and services.

Step 2. We install our equipment

All our on-site technology, such as CCTV towers and PID 360 intruder detectors, is self-sufficient. Each unit combines battery and solar power and communicates with us wirelessly. We design our equipment ourselves for maximum efficiency, and to minimise maintenance, meaning less engineer visits to your site.

Step 3. We monitor remotely

We are unique in the industry to have our own Alarm Receiving Centre – we don’t rely on third-parties. Staffed with an SIA licensed team, your site is monitored 24/7/365. Our approach to monitoring is proactive, using intelligence about crime and anti-social behaviour to predict and deter threats.

Our construction site protection is delivered through a multi-layered approach, combining security intelligence, monitoring and alarm technology and forensic marking.

Cost-effective site security, set up fast

Your construction site in the UK or Ireland can be covered by DeterTech security within 72 hours of us receiving your enquiry.

There are no cables, which reduces risks of trips and falls onsite. PID units can fit into hard-to-reach areas of your site, including narrow paths where objects obstruct line of vision from towers.

There are less security engineer visits to your site for maintenance, because our equipment is self-sufficient for power and communication (unlike generator or gas-fed CCTV systems).

Equipment is easy to move around the site as required, as the project progresses.

Our equipment is supplied on a cost-effective rental. The weekly hire charge covers maintenance, storage, battery charging and repair costs. There is no capital expense.
