Construction site security solutions could help mitigate land surveyors’ equipment losses

Implementing a strong and reliable construction site security solution could help reduce the significant losses incurred on a yearly basis by around 40% of UK’s land surveyors, data from a recent study has suggested.

A poll of 100 land surveyors found that two out of five respondents have been affected by missing items, with the average cost of replacing equipment to complete jobs totalling more than £10,000.

Furthermore, the research also revealed that the biggest impact of equipment theft was loss of working time and additional cost of replacements. Damage to equipment (56 per cent) and lost or stolen equipment (39 per cent) were also listed as common causes of delays on site.

In terms of precautions being taken to protect equipment and data, most respondents (85 per cent) said that using a locked area to store equipment overnight was their main safety measure, followed closely by the employing extra security staff on site to protect equipment.

Tensor RDAPS – the self-sustained security surveillance system delivering enhanced construction site security at lower costs

The Tensor Rapid Deployment Asset Protection System (RDAPS)is the UK’s first and only Secured by Design accredited self-sustained security surveillance system designed to prevent crime and gather evidence in remote sites and trouble hotspots, enforcing construction site security and lowering overall costs.

The RDAPS includes a high-definition camera system of evidential quality and a self-contained high-definition NVR platform with full video analytics capabilities, fully integrated 2-way audio and alarms, capable of delivering extensive remote location, building site and major events security.

Featuring a rugged, weather and vandal-proof design, RDAPS has been designed to protect assets located in vulnerable or remote locations, where current constraints exist due to a lack of power and/or communications. The system is equipped with a Solar/Wind Turbine charged battery system, as well as multiple wireless communication platforms (Wi-Fi, 3G/4G, etc.).

The Tensor Rapid Deployment Asset Protection System is totally transportable and can be re-deployed as frequently as required on multiple sites – in under 40 minutes. Our unique purpose built tower provides a platform which transports the system from site to site and when in ‘deployed-mode’ forms a self-contained secure working platform, functioning as a fully integrated remote video system.
