Construction Fire & Security Systems

A perimeter fence can help to keep intruders out of the site, reducing the risk of theft and vandalism. It also provides a clear boundary for workers and visitors, improving safety.

Access control systems, such as key cards, turnstiles or biometric readers, can restrict access to the site to authorised personnel only. This helps to prevent unauthorised access and reduces the risk of theft and vandalism.

ClearView’s contractor management and control include:

• Checking method statements
• Checking risk assessment
• Approved list of contractors/companies
• Checking of competencies
• Inclusion of permits
• Approved/unapproved jobs schedule
• Post completion job review

CCTV cameras can be strategically placed around your construction site to monitor activities and provide evidence in the event of theft or vandalism. They can also help to deter potential intruders.

Monitored CCTV with perimeter intruder detection alarms and sophisticated video analytics transmitted to our Central Monitoring Station. Operators can warn off intruders via an on-site tannoy and contact the police or keyholders as required.

ClearView can also provide Redeployable “TrailerCam” PTZ camera systems with onboard illumination, beams, PA systems and battery power for rapid and temporary deployment.

Intruder alarm systems can be installed to alert security personnel or the police in the event of a security breach. They can also be connected to your CCTV cameras, providing a more comprehensive security solution.

Adequate lighting around the site can help to deter intruders and improve visibility for workers. Motion-activated lights can be particularly effective in detecting and deterring potential intruders.

Gates and barriers offer a high level of security to construction sites. With the support of Perimeter Intruder Detection Systems, CCTV Systems, Intercoms and Access Control our gates and barriers will:

• Act as a deterrent to unauthorised personnel
• Create a solution for traffic control
• Improve security to your site

Security gates pose the largest threat of security breaches. However, by automating gates, barriers, and road-blockers, the need for human resources can be reduced. To achieve this, it is necessary to design gates, blockers, gate operators, and access control systems with the appropriate fence materials, which may incorporate features such as anti-climbing, anti-cutting, and/or terrorism resistance properties.

Security risk assessments for construction sites will give recommendations that can be made to mitigate identified risks and enhance overall security. This may include measures such as increasing perimeter security, enhancing access control, installing surveillance cameras, providing security personnel or training workers on security protocols.

It’s important to conduct regular security risk assessments throughout the construction process as the site changes, new risks may emerge, and security needs may evolve. By proactively identifying and addressing potential security risks, construction sites can help ensure the safety of workers, equipment, and materials, as well as protect against theft, vandalism, and other security breaches.

Fire alarms are essential for ensuring the safety of your workers and preventing property damage on construction sites. They provide early detection, prompt notification, compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, integration with other fire safety systems, and help to prevent property damage.

Construction sites are often filled with flammable materials and equipment that can easily catch fire and spread rapidly. Fire extinguishers installation and maintenance can help prevent small fires from turning into larger ones and potentially causing significant damage to the site and endangering workers.

Emergency lighting is an important safety feature on construction sites, as it can help prevent accidents and injuries in the event of a power outage or other emergency situation. Here are some key points about emergency lighting on construction sites:

• Emergency lighting should be provided in all areas where people are present, such as walkways, stairwells, and other high-traffic areas.
• The lighting should be sufficient to allow people to safely evacuate the site in the event of an emergency, and it should be installed in such a way that it will not be affected by the emergency itself (such as a fire).
• The lighting should be able to operate independently of the main power supply, so it can continue to function in the event of a power outage.
• The lighting should be regularly tested and maintained to ensure that it is in good working order and will be effective when needed.

The types of fire extinguishers required on a construction site will depend on the potential fire hazards present. However, commonly construction sites require a variety of extinguishers including water extinguishers, dry powder extinguishers, foam extinguishers, and carbon dioxide extinguishers. ClearView can conduct a fire risk assessment to advise what extinguishers your site requires to be compliant with regulations and industry standards. 

The number and location of fire extinguishers on a construction site will depend on the size of the site and the potential fire hazards present. The exact requirements may vary by location, but fire extinguishers should be located in easily accessible areas, such as near exits, stairwells, and other high-traffic areas. Contact one our our specialists for more information. 

The specific types of fire alarm and detection systems required on a construction site will depend on local regulations and industry standards. However, typically construction sites require smoke detectors, heat detectors, and manual call points to trigger alarms. Certified to BAFE SP203-1 and NSI Gold Fire, ClearView can provide all types of fire alarm systems. For more information, contact one of our specialists. 

CCTV Monitoring provides you with the ultimate peace of mind that your site is protected when you are away. Our CCTV monitoring uses intelligent cameras to detect intruders the second they step foot on your premises. Our highly trained professionals will then immediately intervene with live audio challenges, ensuring that the intruder does not have time to enter your construction site.

Security measures for a construction site may include a CCTV installation, maintenance and monitoring and providing security fencing around the perimeter of the site. Other measures may include gates and barriers, as well as implementing access control systems to prevent unauthorised entry to the site.
