Securing a £50M Commercial Development in Southampton

The Challenge

A major construction site in Southampton was experiencing recurring theft of high-value raw materials, copper wire, and tools. Standard perimeter fencing was proving insufficient, resulting in project delays and financial losses.

Our Solution

SQS Security implemented a multi-layered security strategy. We deployed rapid-deployment mobile CCTV towers with thermal imaging, monitored 24/7 by our control room. We also stationed SIA-licensed manned guards at key access points and initiated randomized K9 patrols during non-operational hours.

Results

• 100% reduction in theft incidents within the first month.
• Enhanced site health and safety compliance.
• Project completed on time without further security-related disruptions.
