Construction Site Access Control Systems
Construction site access control systems are critical for managing who enters and exits active and vacant building sites. With multiple contractors, deliveries, and visitors moving through a site each day, uncontrolled access can lead to safety risks, theft, and costly compliance issues.

What it is
Construction site access control systems manage and regulate who can enter, exit, and move around your site. Using turnstiles, biometric readers, smart ID cards, and verification technology, these systems ensure only authorised personnel are granted access to defined areas.
Each access control deployment is tailored to your site layout, workforce size, and security requirements, providing clear oversight of site entry points while improving safety, accountability, and compliance.
How it works
Our construction site access control systems are designed for rapid deployment and flexible operation across temporary and evolving sites. Entry points are secured using biometric turnstiles, smart ID cards, or mobile credentials, ensuring only approved personnel can access your site or designated zones.
Access data is recorded in real time and can be viewed remotely, providing full visibility of workforce movement and attendance. We handle installation, configuration, relocation, and ongoing support — ensuring controlled, compliant site access throughout your entire project lifecycle.
