With tools and material costs rising sharply, construction sites and infrastructure projects remain attractive targets for theft of tools, plant and materials. Sites can also face vandalism, unauthorised entry and trespass. Angleside provides a range of construction security measures to keep your building site secure, including static guards, mobile patrols, CCTV monitoring and emergency response.
Mobile Patrols
Boost your security and deter criminal activity with our mobile patrol service. Patrols are planned for maximum impact, with rapid response to alarms and suspicious activity. Scheduled or ad‑hoc property inspections help deter crime and protect vacant or remote sites and homes.
