When planning demolition work, there is a huge amount to consider. Yet thieves, vandals, trespassing youths and arsonists can all present additional problems, whether they carry out acts of vandalism, thefts, arson, graffiti or just the usual antics of inquisitive young people.

​

But, demolition companies and demolition site managers do not need to over-complicate things.

​

Property Security Group Limited are demolition site security company specialists recommend three key components to secure demolition sites - each of which can be rapidly scaled up if the perceived threat increases.

​

Perimeter Security:

• Parking heavy plant behind gates overnight and weekends to prevent unauthorised vehicles entering site

• Hire of concrete blocks deployed to secure unused gates and access points.

• Install heavy duty hoarding rather than Heras fencing which have limited deterrent or security value

• Solar-powered PIR-activated floodlights to deter trespassers

 

Monitored Security Cameras:

• Use solar, with battery back-up, options to avoid reliance on mains power or generators which are unreliable, especially over holiday closures

• Use PIR-activated security cameras with 24hr monitoring outside of working hours – and deploy wireless cameras to avoid cabling across the site

 

Traditional security measures to underpin all other measures:

• Security guards - or security dog handlers for larger or demolition sites under threat

• Local 24hr keyholder alarm response to avoid reliance on Police support which can vary from area to area, and even from day to day

• Mobile security patrols in marked vehicles at varied times – with physically check demolition sites and show a security presence (and ensure that on a couple of nights you have more than one patrol so you confuse anyone watching the site)
