High-Value Items on Construction Sites and How To Secure Them
Construction and building sites are bustling hubs of activity, filled with valuable equipment, tools and materials that are essential to the success of each project. However, these same high-value items make construction sites a prime target for theft and vandalism. With the cost of stolen equipment and delays caused by incidents running into the thousands, ensuring robust security measures is no longer a luxury but a necessity.
At RG Security, we understand the unique challenges faced by construction and building site managers. As specialists in construction site security, we provide tailored solutions to safeguard your site, including manned guards, mobile patrols and alarm response services. As an SIA Approved provider for the Provision of Security Guarding, we guarantee professionalism and peace of mind for your project.
The High-Value Items at Risk
Construction sites are often home to items that attract unwanted attention, such as:
Heavy Machinery and Equipment
Excavators, bulldozers and cranes are not only expensive but also challenging to replace quickly. Even smaller tools like drills and saws can be lucrative for thieves, making them high-risk assets.
Building Materials
Copper piping, timber and even bricks are valuable commodities on the black market. The rising cost of materials makes them even more enticing for theft.
Fuel and Power Supplies
Diesel theft is a growing problem, with on-site generators and fuel storage tanks being common targets. Losses can halt site operations and increase costs.
Technology and Devices
Laptops, tablets and surveying equipment used on-site are not only expensive but often contain sensitive project data, adding a layer of risk if stolen.
