secWatch CCTV Prevents Unauthorised Access to Tower Cranes and Site Sheds
The Dangers of Unauthorised Crane Access
Safety is paramount on a construction site, from preventing accidents during working hours to ensuring site security after hours which is equally critical. One of the most vulnerable points on a construction site is the tower crane—an imposing structure that, if accessed without authorisation, can lead to catastrophic incidents.
Unauthorised individuals climbing tower cranes is a significant risk that construction companies must address. These cranes, towering over the site, are often seen as challenges by thrill-seekers or as points of access by trespassers.
However, climbing these structures can result in severe injuries or fatalities due to falls from great heights. Beyond the immediate physical dangers, unauthorised access can also lead to equipment tampering, theft, or damage, potentially delaying projects and increasing costs.
How secWatch Protects Your Construction Site
We understand the unique risks posed by construction sites, especially those associated with tower cranes. Our secWatch mobile camera units are designed to offer comprehensive coverage of a site, for thorough monitoring. Here’s how we keep your site safe:
24/7 Monitoring: Our virtual guards keep an eye on the base of your tower cranes around the clock. Through strategically placed camera traps, we ensure that any unauthorised activity is detected immediately.
Live Audio Challenges: Upon detecting suspicious activity, our virtual guards issue a live audio challenge. This immediate verbal warning serves as a powerful deterrent, alerting the individual that they are being watched and should cease their actions immediately.
Rapid Response: If the audio challenge is ignored, our team can swiftly escalate the situation by alerting site security personnel or local authorities, ensuring that any potential threat is neutralised before it escalates.
Expanding Protection to Site Sheds
While tower cranes are a focal point, site sheds also require diligent monitoring. These sheds often house valuable tools, equipment, and sensitive documents, making them attractive targets for theft and vandalism. secWatch extends its virtual guard services to these areas as well, ensuring a comprehensive security net across your entire construction site.
