About the customer
Customer challenges
The client is a prominent national construction company engaged in large-scale infrastructure projects across Ireland. With a reputation for delivering high-quality developments, they sought to uphold their standards by ensuring robust security measures on their new Dublin site.
The client's primary concern was securing the site round the clock, especially during off-hours and construction phases. With the site adjacent to a busy street, unauthorised access posed a significant risk. However, budget constraints ruled out the option of hiring a full-time on-site security officer. The client sought a technical solution to address these security challenges effectively.
The construction site faced several security challenges:
- Urban security risks: Operating in a busy city centre increased exposure to potential theft and vandalism.
- Asset protection: Valuable construction equipment and materials were at risk of theft or damage.
- Access control: Managing the influx of workers, contractors, and visitors required stringent access protocols.
- Safety assurance: Ensuring the safety of personnel amidst the complexities of the construction environment.
Our solutions
Customised security
The focal point of concern was the main site access. Securitas protective services division devised a solution involving the installation of a full-height security turnstile equipped with access control and time and attendance software.
This strategic placement effectively curtailed unauthorised access without the need for a dedicated on-site security officer. The implementation not only mitigated the client's major security risk but also yielded significant cost savings, enabling additional security enhancements such as an out-of-hours mobile guarding service.
- Advanced surveillance systems: Deployment of high-definition CCTV cameras for real-time monitoring and recording.
- Access control solutions: Installation of a full-height security turnstile equipped with electronic access systems to regulate entry and exit points.
- Mobile patrols: Regular patrols to ensure perimeter security and deter unauthorised activities.
Benefits realised:
- Enhanced security: Continuous surveillance and access control measures significantly reduced security breaches.
- Operational efficiency: Streamlined access protocols facilitated smooth operations and reduced delays.
- Asset protection: Valuable equipment and materials were safeguarded against theft and damage.
- Safety assurance: A secure environment contributed to the well-being of all personnel on-site.
