The projects will provide comprehensive site security at housing developments in Romford and Barking.
As well as CCSec鈥檚 monitoring equipment, the security solutions include turnstile access control and web based biometric readers which work using the unique characteristics of a person鈥檚 finger.聽 Every employee or contractor鈥檚 details are held online and this ensures that Taylor Wimpey know exactly who is on site and that they are authorised to be there, as well as keeping an accurate log of all employee arrivals and departures.
Site security is becoming increasingly important to building firms as theft of equipment and vandalism 聽can seriously hinder work and lead to contracts not being completed on time or within allocated budgets.聽 Taylor Wimpey wanted to move away from the traditional security methods of having guards on site and having successfully worked with CCSec in the past, it was pleased to move to a technology based solution. 聽The benefits of a technology based solution meant it would remove any risk of human error and give them a system that was completely reliable 24 x 7.
Steve Ellis, Project Manager for Taylor Wimpey commented: 鈥淪ite safety and security is of great importance to us.聽 As a large company with building projects taking several years to complete, it鈥檚 necessary that we properly guard against theft, which not only costs us money in replacing stolen equipment or materials, but can also delay building projects considerably, costing even more money.聽 Also from a safety point of view, non-authorised individuals entering sites can, all too often, result in accidents 鈥� building sites are not the safest of places and you need to wear the right safety gear and know how to navigate your way around.聽聽 We consider site security an absolute necessity in protecting us against these problems and a technology based solution is the best way forward.聽 We intend to use the Romford site to show case best practice to other project managers throughout our organisation.
鈥滳arl Clarke, Managing Director CCSec added: 鈥淲e鈥檙e obviously delighted to be working with Taylor Wimpey again.聽 As a forward thinking company, they recognise the benefits that comprehensive, technology-led site security can bring to their business.聽 Our biometric technology assists them in keeping an accurate record of their many employees and contracting staff and enables them to manage them with greater efficiency.鈥澛�
