When construction sites reduce operations during the holiday period, any security issues can quickly emerge. Site theft and vandalism spike during holiday downtimes, making effective access control more crucial than ever.

For project managers overseeing sites during these challenging periods, implementing the right security measures can mean the difference between a secure site and costly losses.

At Panthera Group, we have extensive experience in helping to protect construction sites during the quieter festive periods. Our comprehensive access control systems are designed to be scalable, flexible and cost-effective.

In this blog, we’ll explore how modern construction site access control systems can protect your assets when they’re most vulnerable.

Why is construction site access control so important during the holidays?

Construction sites are attractive targets for theft and vandalism during holiday downtimes. Construction site theft costs millions annually, with incidents increasing during extended holiday periods when sites are left unattended or with fewer present personnel. Without proper security measures, unauthorised access can lead to devastating losses and significant project delays.

Why access control matters: protect your workforce and your site

Construction site security extends far beyond traditional padlocks and gates.

Modern access control solutions provide comprehensive protection by not only preventing unauthorised access, but also streamlining operations, monitoring and managing the flow of people entering work areas.

These systems are fundamental for preventing unauthorised access to hazardous areas, protecting valuable equipment, maintaining precise workforce attendance records, and ensuring compliance with security requirements.

Scalable access control solutions from Panthera

At Panthera Group, we understand that effective access control forms the cornerstone of construction site security. We offer a range of flexible and scalable types of access control systems.

Our range of solutions includes physical barriers like turnstile systems and cutting-edge facial recognition technology.

Our turnstile systems include both full and half-height options, allowing only authorised personnel access to site entry points. In emergency situations, these systems automatically switch to free-spin mode, facilitating a rapid evacuation of construction workers when necessary.

We also offer more sophisticated systems. Our SiteControl Pro system utilises advanced facial recognition technology to provide unparalleled security. With storage for up to 50,000 facial profiles and 99% recognition accuracy (even in challenging conditions) the system ensures reliable operation throughout the year. Remote registration capabilities streamline the process of adding new workers, while anti-spoofing technology prevents unauthorised access attempts.
