Construction site security in Denver requires robust measures to address the city’s urban environment and the valuable assets that are present on job sites. Theft remains a persistent concern, with criminals often targeting costly tools, equipment, and materials. This can result in substantial financial setbacks and project delays. Vandalism and trespassing are ever-present risks as well, causing property damage and creating potential safety hazards for workers.
Denver’s construction industry must implement comprehensive security protocols. Proactive measures are crucial to help mitigate losses, ensure worker safety, and maintain project timelines.
Denver Construction Site Security Challenges
Construction sites in Denver face a range of security issues. One significant challenge is the frequency of theft, with the National Equipment Register reporting that $400 million worth of construction tools and equipment are stolen annually across the United States. This problem is particularly severe in Denver, where the first half of 2022 saw a 36% increase in job site thefts.
Trespassing is a frequent and often dangerous problem on Denver construction sites. In February, two people were shot and killed during a confrontation with a construction site manager in southwest Denver. The individuals were allegedly attempting to burglarize the site, leading to a deadly encounter when the site manager, feeling threatened, used a firearm.
This tragic event highlights the risks construction sites face from unauthorized access and the potential for dangerous confrontations.

Security Applications for Construction Sites
Live Video Monitoring
Help maintain a secure environment while minimizing liability and providing measurable ROI. We can safeguard unmanned and remote locations, gates, perimeter fences, equipment, cranes and other valuable assets.
Mobile Surveillance Units
Construction sites present one of the most difficult environments to secure, with unstable power, poor lighting and constant change. ECAM’s Mobile Surveillance Solution was built for rapid deployment and can be mounted on almost any pole or flat surface, to secure even the most challenging sites.
Solar Video Monitoring
Solar-powered surveillance technology allows cameras to monitor sites without power or electricity.
Thermal Imaging
Because they sense objects based on the heat they radiate, thermal cameras see things the human eye and standards cameras cannot, providing clear images in daylight, darkness, shadows and inclement weather.
