Security for temporary works: small projects, street works and highway works. A solar tower or camera set is deployed for the days or weeks the job actually runs, watched from the same staffed control room as every major site we cover, and taken away again the moment the works are done. There is no minimum job size and the terms are month to month, so a two week dig gets the same cover as a two year build.
A weekend dig, a fortnight of street works or a single plot gets the same analytic cameras and the same staffed control room as a major site. If it is worth stealing from, it is worth watching, and the price scales with the days rather than the size of the contract.
Compounds, welfare units, open excavations and plant left on or beside the public highway are exposed in a way a fenced site never is. A tower covers the compound and the working area, and the live audio challenge deals with interference before it becomes a claim.
A solar tower is towed on, raised and live to the control room in about an hour, with no mains supply and no groundworks needed. When the phase moves up the road, the tower moves with it.
When the works are signed off, the kit comes away the same week. Month to month terms mean a three week job carries three weeks of cost, not a contract that outlives the job it was covering.
No. Temporary works cover exists precisely because most security firms are not interested in a short job, and the people who take plant and fuel absolutely are. A single excavation, a utility connection, a small refurbishment or a one street resurfacing programme all get covered, and the cost is built from the days the kit is on the ground rather than from a minimum contract value.
Yes, and we do a lot of it. Compounds and welfare units get broken into for tools and fuel, barriers, lights and signs walk off overnight, and an open excavation that has been interfered with is a public safety problem before it is a cost problem. A tower watching the compound and the working area, with an operator challenging anybody on it out of hours, deals with all three.
Usually the same day. A solar tower arrives on a trailer, sets its feet, raises the mast and is live to the control room in about an hour, so works starting on Monday can be covered from the Friday before. For very short notice jobs, ring us and you will get a straight answer on what can be on site tonight rather than a callback on Thursday.
No. Temporary works are exactly what the solar towers are built for: solar panels with battery storage and a UPS behind them, and the connection back to the control room over a mobile network. Nothing on the job needs a generator, a cable or a meter, and nothing needs reinstating when the tower leaves.
By the deployment: the kit on the ground and the days it is there, with the monitoring included. There is no fixed term wrapped around it and no penalty for finishing early. For small and straightforward jobs the survey can be done over the phone with a plan or a few photos, so the quote does not take longer than the job.
Yes. Where the works only exist for a night or a weekend, cover can be a manned presence rather than a camera: an SIA licensed officer or a mobile patrol pattern across the closure, arranged for the specific hours the works are exposed. Tell us the hours and what is being left out, and we will put the right shape of cover against it.
Ultra HD analytic cameras supplied and installed free of charge, feeding a control room in Middleton that is staffed around the clock.
A rapid deploy tower that turns up on a trailer, sets its own feet, raises the mast and starts watching the same day.
SIA licensed officers on site, on shift, doing the job properly: controlling who comes through the gate, signing deliveries in, walking the site to a pattern that cannot be predicted from the fence line, and logging every one of it.
Licensed handlers working with trained general purpose security dogs, on static shifts or as a patrolling unit.
A marked unit visiting your site through the night at times that change every night, checking the perimeter, the gates, the stores, the plant and the cabins, and reporting on every visit.
Detection is only worth something if it ends with a person turning up.
Door entry and gate access systems designed, installed and maintained: video and audio intercoms, fob and keypad entry, automated gates and barriers.
SIA licensed close protection officers for individuals who need discreet, competent cover: a director dealing with a hostile situation, a visitor to a difficult location, an event where somebody needs to be looked after properly, or a period where a specific threat has been made.
Booked visits to your home or business while you are away, at times that vary, by a licensed officer who actually walks round the property.
Wireless site fire alarm systems, supplied, positioned and linked so that one call point sets every unit on the site sounding.
Heras panel fencing, solid hoarding and gates, delivered, installed and taken away again at the end of the job.
