Changing perimeters
Construction Security
A changing site needs a security plan that changes with it.
Construction security must follow the site through mobilisation, structural change, new storage areas, contractor peaks and valuable equipment movement.
Industry-specific risks
The operating environment changes the threat profile.
Multiple contractors
Material and equipment loss
Delivery and dispatch pressure
After-hours exposure
Changing site access
Community or project disruption
Alpha response
Controls designed around the operation.
Mobilise
Assess risk before workforce and assets arrive.
Define
Set gate, contractor, delivery and patrol procedures.
Deploy
Structure posts around the current site stage.
Reassess
Update controls at meaningful construction phases.
Recommended services
Build a proportionate security plan.
Industry questions
Direct answers before procurement.
How many guards does a construction site need?
The answer depends on access points, perimeter, hours, deliveries, stored assets, patrol needs and project stage.
When should construction security begin?
The risk should be reviewed before mobilisation so access, assets and perimeter controls are designed before activity increases.
