When people trespass on a construction site, they could impact the project in several ways. All which can cause increased expenses and delays. Without a plan in place to help protect your valuable assets, you could be a sitting target for loss and damage.
In this video, an individual was seen placing a bicycle on top of a construction site perimeter fence, then crawling under it to gain access to the site. Once inside, he hopped on the bike and rode through the site towards the building under construction.
A trained ECAM security operator was monitoring the trespasser’s actions and called to dispatch local police. Our monitoring operator informed officers of the subject’s whereabouts.
When responding officers arrived, they followed the individual while he was attempting to exit the site. After they caught up with him, police arrested the suspect and placed him inside their vehicle.
Get Proactive in Keeping Trespassers from Damaging Your Jobsite
One of the great challenges of any construction site is keeping it secure from uninvited visitors, especially after hours when everyone has gone home. While putting a fence around the project is a great first step, as you saw in the video, it isn’t always enough to keep out determined individuals.
With all the advancements in technology, a modern security solution can not only make it easier to deter unwanted activity, but it is much more effective at catching the “bad guys” in the act and minimizing damage.
Remote video monitoring from Stealth can help deter criminals and reduce security costs. Trained security operators use analytics-based cameras to monitor for unusual activity. When something is detected, for example, an intruder riding his bicycle through a site, our security personnel can quickly assess the situation and act.
In this video, our monitoring operator quickly called police upon seeing the trespasser and kept them informed of his whereabouts. When officers arrived, they were able to locate the suspect and escort him from the property before any damage occurred.
