Construction sites in Fort Worth, TX, have become increasingly susceptible to theft and safety risks, marked by several high-profile incidents that demonstrate the severity of the issue. In one case, a construction worker was tragically killed in an accident involving heavy equipment. This incident marks the fourth construction-related death in North Texas in one month.
Fort Worth Construction Site Security Trends
Like many settings, construction sites in Fort Worth are filled with high-value items such as copper wiring, lumber, professional-grade tools, and heavy equipment, making them attractive targets for thieves. These crimes typically occur during off-hours or over weekends when sites are less likely to be monitored. The impact of these thefts on businesses is profound, not only due to the immediate loss of materials and equipment but also because of the subsequent project delays and rising insurance costs.
Traditional vs. Modern Construction Security Solutions in Fort Worth
Traditional security measures like fences, floodlights, and signage have increasingly been deemed inadequate for preventing sophisticated construction site thefts. These conventional methods often fail to deter or delay criminals effectively, leading to slow response times and missed opportunities to prevent crime. In contrast, modern security solutions, which leverage technology and proactive monitoring, are becoming essential.

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.
