Construction Site Security

SECURING CONSTRUCTION
SITES & ASSETS

Plant theft, material losses, and site intrusions cost UK construction firms millions every year. Stop reacting and start protecting.

The Context

Construction sites face crime threats every single day.

Crime is surging across UK construction sites

67% of construction professionals report an increase in crime over the last 12 months. (BauWatch Crime Report 2025)

Repeat theft is the norm, not the exception

55% of construction professionals experience theft at least twice per year, compounding costs and project delays.

Plant and materials are prime targets

Theft of heavy plant and materials stripped overnight cause project delays and unexpected budget hits.

Health & safety and trespass risk compound losses

Unauthorised access creates serious duty-of-care exposure. One injury incident can cost more than an entire year of security.

The Problem

Why traditional approaches leave sites exposed.

Temporary fencing, passive CCTV, and ad-hoc security cover were never designed to handle the fast-moving, high-value threats that modern construction sites face around the clock.

Reactive Patrols Miss Overnight Theft

Guards respond after plant and materials have gone. Without AI-assisted monitoring and predictive threat detection, the same entry points are exploited repeatedly because no one has the data to intervene before it happens.

CCTV Alone Doesn't Stop Site Crime

Passive cameras record theft, they don't prevent it. Without AI analysis and real-time alerts, footage is reviewed after materials have been stripped — and a recording is rarely enough to recover stolen plant or equipment.

Rigid Contracts Don’t Match Site Schedules

Construction risk peaks during night handovers, weekend shutdowns, and plant deliveries — not during standard business hours. Permanent security contracts lock budgets into low-risk periods while leaving the highest-value exposure uncovered.

Construction Sites

Active construction sites are among the most vulnerable targets for plant theft, copper theft, and material losses. Salibo deploys SIA-licensed officers and AI-monitored CCTV to protect your site around the clock — from groundworks to handover.

  • SIA officers securing site perimeters and access points 24/7
  • AI CCTV monitoring detecting intruders before theft occurs
  • Digital incident logs audit-ready for insurers and project managers
The Solution

Security that adapts like an immune system.

Construction Site Security

AI Construction Site Monitoring

AI CCTV monitors site perimeters, access gates, compound areas, and plant storage zones, flagging intruders, trespassers, and suspicious behaviour before theft or damage occurs.

Security Officer

SIA Officers On Demand

Deploy licensed SIA officers exactly when your site needs them — overnight shutdowns, plant deliveries, high-risk build phases, and handover periods. No permanent contract, no wasted resource.

Less Admin

Digital Incident Logging

AI Voice-to-Text incident logging for site managers, gate officers, and patrol teams. Every event is time-stamped and produces audit-ready evidence for contractors, insurers, and police liaison.

Dashboard stats

Construction Site Risk Intelligence

BI Dashboard. See exactly when and where incidents peak across your site, project, or portfolio. Identify theft hotspots and make evidence-based decisions on where to concentrate security resource.

Repeat Offender Alerts

Insurer-Ready Evidence Packs

Automated incident and compliance reports generated after every deployment. Built-in evidence trails ready for insurer claims, police reports, HSE compliance, and contractor dispute resolution.

In Practice

Outcomes that matter.

  • Flexible Cover That Matches Your Programme

    Officers deployed only when and where risk is elevated: overnight shutdowns, plant deliveries, high-risk build phases, and site handover periods.

  • Theft Hotspot Prevention Intelligence

    Recurring entry points, repeat trespass patterns, and plant theft hotspots identified automatically, so site managers prevent intrusions rather than just documenting them after plant has walked.

  • Insurance-Grade Evidence Records

    Time-stamped, tagged incident reports generated automatically, ready for insurers, HSE, police, and legal proceedings — with zero admin overhead.
