Construction sites contain valuable equipment, copper wiring, building materials, machinery and tools, making them attractive targets for theft, vandalism and unauthorized access. Even an unnoticed water leak, fire hazard or open gate can cause thousands of dollars in damage and project delays.

Prevent Construction-Site Theft and Vandalism

Copper wire, copper piping, power tools, fuel, appliances and construction machinery are common targets for theft. These incidents can result in replacement expenses, insurance claims, lost productivity and significant project delays.

Our uniformed construction security guards provide a visible deterrent and regularly inspect vulnerable areas of the property. Guards can monitor fencing, gates, storage containers, temporary offices, equipment yards and unfinished buildings for suspicious activity or signs of unauthorized entry.

When an incident occurs, our guards follow the site’s emergency procedures, contact the appropriate personnel and prepare a detailed incident report.

Construction Access Control

Controlling who enters and leaves a construction site is essential for security and workplace safety. Central Protection Services can provide trained guards to manage site entrances and help prevent access by unauthorized individuals.

Access-control duties may include:

• Verifying workers, contractors and visitors
• Recording vehicle and visitor information
• Monitoring deliveries and removing unauthorized vehicles
• Checking identification and site authorization
• Managing contractor sign-in and sign-out procedures
• Monitoring gates, doors and temporary entry points
• Enforcing client-approved access restrictions
• Keeping pedestrians away from hazardous work areas

Effective access control helps protect valuable assets while reducing the risk of trespassing, accidents and interruptions to daily operations.

Mobile Patrol Services for Construction Sites

For projects that do not require a permanently stationed guard, our mobile patrol services offer a flexible and cost-effective alternative.

Mobile patrol officers conduct scheduled or randomized site visits to inspect the property for:

• Damaged or open fencing
• Unlocked gates, doors or storage containers
• Suspicious people or vehicles
• Theft, vandalism or attempted break-ins
• Fire, smoke or unusual odours
• Water leaks and flooding
• Unsafe conditions or other security concerns

Patrol reports can include site photographs, observations and time-stamped information, helping clients stay informed about their property after hours.

CCTV Cameras and Remote Monitoring

Security guards can be supported by CCTV cameras and remote monitoring to improve coverage across large or complex construction sites.

Our construction-site surveillance solutions may include:

• Temporary CCTV camera systems
• Solar-powered security cameras
• Cellular cameras for sites without internet access
• Motion-activated surveillance
• Remote video monitoring
• Recorded video storage
• Alarm verification and incident response
• Camera trailers and portable surveillance units

Combining security guards, mobile patrols and CCTV monitoring creates multiple layers of protection and helps clients respond more effectively to suspicious activity.

Fire Watch and Hazard Reporting

Construction sites can face increased fire risks during hot work, electrical installation, equipment operation and temporary heating. Sites may also require fire-watch coverage when a fire alarm, sprinkler system or other protection system is temporarily unavailable.

Our security guards can conduct documented patrols and report visible signs of fire, smoke, water leaks, flooding, damaged fencing and other hazards according to client instructions and the site’s emergency procedures.

Security guards do not replace qualified safety professionals, but they provide an additional set of trained eyes when workers and supervisors are no longer on-site.

Protecting Workers, Visitors and Pedestrians

Construction security is not limited to protecting tools and materials. Unauthorized entry can expose pedestrians, visitors and members of the public to excavations, unfinished structures, moving equipment and other hazards.

Our guards help maintain safe boundaries around the work area, monitor public access points and report unsafe conditions. Central Protection Services also provides professional road flaggers and traffic-control personnel for construction projects requiring vehicle or pedestrian management.

Detailed Security Reporting

Clear reporting helps project managers understand what is happening at their sites outside regular working hours.

Depending on the assignment, our reporting can include:

• Daily activity reports
• Mobile patrol reports
• Time-stamped photographs
• Visitor and vehicle logs
• Incident reports
• Emergency notifications
• Records of open gates, damaged fencing or unsecured equipment
• Documentation of water leaks, fire hazards and suspicious activity

These reports provide greater visibility and help management address problems before they become more serious.
