Mitigating Site Risks
Regional construction sites and industrial zones face high footfall and specific risks related to urban crime. Securing the perimeter with a physical presence is critical to maintaining project timelines.
🛡️ Assess Your Site RiskActive Deterrence
Uniformed officers provide a clear visual warning to prevent unauthorised access.
Access Control
Strict management of entry points, turnstiles, and vehicle gates to secure the perimeter.
Immediate Response
Officers can physically de-escalate conflicts, detain intruders, and secure areas instantly.
Asset Protection
Continuous supervision of plant machinery, materials, and vacant structures.
Core Operational Duties
"Security is a discipline, not just a service."
Static Guarding
Static guarding provides a continuous security presence on site. Officers conduct regular foot patrols, inspect fence lines, and maintain a log of site activity. This service is designed to protect people, property, and assets through direct supervision.
Gatehouse Security
Gatehouse officers act as the primary point of access control. Duties include logging all vehicles entering and exiting the site, checking delivery manifests, and preventing unauthorised public access to hazardous work zones.
Access Control Management
We manage physical access points such as turnstiles and site entrances. Officers issue temporary passes, verify credentials, and ensure that only authorised personnel and inducted workers enter the site.
Corporate & Office Security
For site offices and marketing suites, we provide officers who manage front-of-house duties. This includes staff access control, internal patrols, and visitor logging while maintaining a professional appearance.

Case Study: Intercepting Cargo Theft on Prologis Park
"Zero materials lost, build schedule uninterrupted."
An active distribution facility near Prologis Park Coventry was experiencing recurring nighttime intrusions, with organised gangs targeting loaded trailers parked near the perimeter fence.
We deployed a dedicated night-shift static officer to conduct random-interval perimeter patrols and manage the gatehouse, requiring the guard to leave handwritten, signed patrol slips at the trailer park checkpoints.
On the second week of deployment, our guard physically intercepted three trespassers attempting to cut the perimeter fence. They fled immediately. Total stock protected: £150,000.

Coventry Manned Guarding FAQs
Q1. What is the standard hourly rate for construction site guarding in Coventry?
Our standard rate for frontline manned guarding is strictly £15.00 per hour across all Coventry build sites, regardless of the size of the project.
Q2. How are Bank Holidays charged for static guarding on empty sites?
Bank Holidays are charged at £30.00 per hour. Sites are often completely vacant and highly vulnerable during these periods; this rate ensures we retain the most dedicated, alert personnel to protect your assets when no contractors are present.
Q3. Why do you insist on handwritten logs instead of digital apps for construction sites?
Construction sites are rugged. Digital devices fail in the rain, drop signal, or get covered in mud. More importantly, apps are easily manipulated by lazy operatives who don't want to leave the cabin. A signed Daily Occurrence Book and manual patrol slips left at the actual scaffolding provide unalterable, physical proof of presence.
Q4. How fast can you deploy emergency cover if our gate fails near Coventry?
We specialise in rapid emergency deployment. If your perimeter is compromised by severe weather or a break-in, our short-notice cover ensures immediate mobilisation to establish a physical barrier before nightfall.
Q5. How do you manage gatehouse access for heavy contractor traffic?
Our officers conduct aggressive vehicle checks, strictly verify CSCS cards, and ensure meticulous log maintenance. Every single delivery driver, contractor, and vehicle registration is written into a physical ledger—ensuring total accountability of who is on your site.
Q6. How much does Key Holding cost, and why do site managers need it?
Key Holding costs exactly £1.50 per day (£547.50 per year, billed annually). Site managers shouldn't be attending 3 AM alarm activations in dark, muddy industrial estates. We securely hold the keys and take on the risk of out-of-hours confrontation for them.
Q7. If a temporary wireless site alarm goes off, what are the Alarm Response charges?
Our Alarm Response service is £75.00 per call-out. This flat fee covers the rapid response to the site, comprehensive internal/external physical checks of the hoarding and structures, and a written incident report for the first hour on site.
Q8. How do you protect heavy plant machinery overnight?
We position our static guards dynamically. Rather than sitting at the gate, they conduct unpredictable patrols, focusing specifically on high-value targets like excavators, fuel bowsers, and generators, leaving physical patrol slips to prove they checked the assets.
Q9. What is the cost of Mobile Patrols for smaller builds in Binley?
Mobile patrols are priced from £25.00 per patrol visit. This is ideal for smaller builds that don't need a full-time guard but still require physical checks of gates, fencing, and material stores throughout the night.
Q10. Do you install temporary CCTV camera masts on sites?
No. We do not install cameras, temporary masts, or lock you into hidden cloud storage fees. We provide CCTV monitoring by utilising your existing NVR/DVR system. This service is priced via a bespoke quote based strictly on your total camera count.
Q11. How do you prove your guards actually patrol the dark scaffolding?
We use a rigorous system of physical checkpoints. Guards must walk to the furthest, darkest corners of the site to leave handwritten, ink-signed patrol slips. This physical evidence guarantees they are actively walking the ground, not sitting in the welfare unit.
Q12. Are all Eagle Security Protection officers vetted and licensed?
Absolutely. We only deploy highly trained, thoroughly vetted officers who hold a valid SIA license. They are also fully briefed on strict health and safety protocols required for active construction environments.
Q13. What happens when your guards intercept trespassers on an active site?
Our guards are trained to confront, deter, and hold the line. They will immediately secure the perimeter, escalate to emergency services, and meticulously document the entire incident in the handwritten Daily Occurrence Book to provide unalterable evidence for the police.
Q14. Can your guards help prevent fuel theft from site bowsers?
Yes. Fuel theft is a major issue across Coventry. We design our patrol routes specifically around vulnerable assets like red diesel bowsers, ensuring frequent, unpredictable physical checks that make siphoning fuel impossible for intruders.
Q15. How does your manual audit trail protect the construction firm legally?
If a trespasser is injured on your site, you could face severe legal action under the Corporate Manslaughter Act. A physical, ink-signed ledger proving that a guard checked the perimeter fencing at specific times is a legally robust document proving you took all reasonable security measures.
Q16. What industry accreditations does your company hold for tender requirements?
We are heavily vetted to meet strict procurement standards. We hold the SIA Approved Contractor Scheme (ACS), Constructionline Gold, SafeContractor Approved Gold, and SSIP accreditations, proving our operational excellence to principal contractors.
