Construction Site Security

Protect Your Construction Investment

Construction sites represent significant financial investments and are among the most targeted locations for theft and vandalism. Equipment costs tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars, materials disappear regularly, and unattended sites become targets for copper theft, tool pilfering, and vandalism. A single theft can delay projects, cost tens of thousands in replacement and emergency purchases, and create liability issues with insurance carriers.

Aetos Global Security specializes in protecting construction sites from initial permitting through final completion. We understand construction industry challenges, work schedules, equipment vulnerabilities, and the regulatory requirements (including fire watch) that contractors must meet. Our personnel are trained specifically for construction site security, understand the industry, and provide solutions that don't interfere with project operations.

Construction Site Security Threats We Prevent

• Equipment Theft: Excavators, dozers, generators, compressors, and specialty equipment disappear with alarming regularity. Thieves target high-value items that are easily transported and quickly resold.
• Tool & Material Theft: Power tools, copper wire, appliances, and high-value materials vanish from job sites. Small items add up quickly to significant losses.
• Copper & Metal Theft: Thieves target copper plumbing, wiring, and other metals. These targeted thefts can cause significant damage and project delays.
• Unauthorized Access: Trespassing, squatting, and loitering create liability and safety issues. Uncontrolled access means you don't know who's on your property.
• Vandalism & Damage: Graffiti, broken windows, damaged materials, and intentional property damage add costs and project delays.
• Fire Hazards: Hot work, welding, and other operations create fire risks that require trained personnel and compliance with local requirements.

Our Construction Security Services

Aetos provides comprehensive construction site security solutions:

• After-Hours Site Monitoring: Security personnel patrol job sites during evenings, nights, and weekends when most thefts occur. Visible security presence is the most effective theft deterrent.
• Equipment Inventory & Logging: We track equipment brought on-site and verify what's removed at end of shift. This prevents both theft and loss of accountability for materials.
• Access Control Management: Controlled entry points ensure only authorized personnel, contractors, and deliveries access the site. Prevents trespassing and liability issues.
• Fire Watch Services: Certified fire watch personnel monitor hot work operations, enforce safety procedures, and remain on-site after work is completed to detect re-ignition. We maintain full compliance with OSHA and local fire codes.
• Perimeter Security: Fencing, lighting, and regular patrols keep unauthorized individuals out and deter would-be thieves.
• Incident Documentation & Reporting: All security incidents are thoroughly documented with photos and detailed reports for insurance claims and law enforcement.
• Surveillance Integration: Temporary or permanent camera systems with monitoring capture evidence of theft attempts and provide investigative support.
• Site Mobilization & Demobilization: Security during initial setup and final closeout phases when sites are particularly vulnerable.
