0121 561 1214Clearway provides targeted construction security in Birmingham designed to protect developments of all sizes, from city centre regeneration projects to residential construction work on the outskirts of the city.
Birmingham is one of the largest construction markets outside London, with major development programmes continuing across the city following the Commonwealth Games legacy projects, HS2 enabling works and large-scale residential regeneration across areas including Digbeth, Smithfield and the city centre fringe
Issues range from targeted thefts of vehicles, materials, and tools, opportunist trespass and vandalism, to arson, squatting, and criminal damage, which makes proactive, professional security essential to keeping construction sites safe.







Working with clients in Birmingham and across the West Midlands, we offer:

Construction sites typically move through phases from one week or month to the next, which is why surveillance must be flexible. Our CCTV systems provide reliable protection throughout each stage, helping to deter theft, monitor activity and capture high-quality evidence should an incident occur.
We supply both fixed and temporary CCTV systems, including rapidly deployable CCTV towers. These units cover large areas across construction site perimeters and can operate independently of mains power to minimise disruption to your site.

Live CCTV monitoring reinforces the value of real-time surveillance, enabling responders to identify and verify suspicious activities, and giving guards and security teams the ability to respond well before potential incidents escalate.
Monitoring systems can incorporate motion detection, intelligent analytics and coverage of entrances, storage areas, compounds and boundaries. Alerts are transmitted directly to our ARC, where skilled operators are on hand to coordinate the appropriate response.

Protecting construction site perimeters is one of the most effective ways to reduce instances of unauthorised access, intentional or not, before intruders or unsuspecting members of the public reach valuable, and often hazardous equipment, materials, vehicles and excavations.
Wireless perimeter detection systems provide excellent flexibility, with devices that can be repositioned as work progresses. Intelligent sensors detect intrusion events immediately, enabling patrols or guards to react quickly to potential security breaches.

Traditional alarms might simply report that an activation has occurred but can’t confirm what has triggered it. On construction sites, this can mean costly, time-consuming callouts due to wildlife, weather conditions or high winds.
Video-verified alarms remove this issue, capturing a burst of images whenever the alarm is triggered and sending this securely to our ARC response team. Operators can assess the situation there and then, improving security for construction sites vacant overnight or at weekends, but preventing unnecessary false callouts.

Most construction sites have multiple entry points, often including temporary entrances for deliveries and large vehicles, and potentially open boundaries with neighbouring land that can be difficult, if not impossible, to protect entirely using only fencing.
Concrete blocks provide an effective physical blockage and deterrent, preventing any unauthorised vehicle from entering the site. They can be used to restrict access to unfinished developments, secure storage areas, reduce the risk of fly-tipping and protect whole compounds.

Development sites are routinely left unattended outside of working hours, which makes reliable alarm systems a vital part of any security strategy. Wireless alarms designed for isolated, remote or high-risk environments offer around-the-clock protection without needing any fixed infrastructure or permanent power source.
Battery and solar-powered sensors pick up on unusual movement or access, generating immediate alerts. Combined with remote monitoring and video verification, this can mitigate theft risks, vandalism and criminal damage while giving site managers better visibility over their developments.

Controlling who can enter a construction site may be as important as monitoring the perimeter. Clearway’s access control solutions help ensure that only approved contractors, visitors and delivery personnel can gain entry.
Systems can include biometric readers, keycard systems, turnstiles, temporary access cabins and integrated facial recognition and automatic number plate recognition. Depending on your needs, this can provide automated entry or refusal permissions and help maintain accurate records of site traffic.

Policy compliance is crucial for busy construction zones where non-adherence could have serious consequences. PPE detection incorporates AI-powered CCTV and intelligent analytics to continually evaluate activities and confirm whether personnel are wearing helmets, high-vis vests and other safety garments.
Site managers are notified when any non-compliance is detected. This can help them identify potential breaches before they result in health and safety incidents, and ensure management can demonstrate the highest standards of compliance enforcement.

In higher-risk construction settings, or areas where personnel have been subjected to abuse, aggression, criminal activity, or unsafe behaviour, body-worn security devices give them the assurance they are supported and supervised at all times.
Recordings can be used to activate security responses during urgent incidents, support investigations and prosecutions, and monitor workers who might be in isolated areas of the site and need additional security due to lone working risks.

Experienced, SIA-licensed security officers can be deployed to construction sites across Birmingham. Uniformed, badged guards reinforce technological protections in place, and provide a highly visible deterrent against theft, trespassing, vandalism and anti-social behaviour.
Guarding can be structured according to your requirements, from access controls and perimeter patrols to out-of-hours site security, reception guarding, and K9 guard teams for construction sites with elevated risk profiles or specific concerns.







Clearway has decades of experience protecting UK-wide construction sites, with practical, advanced and multi-layered solutions that help developers, contractors and site managers reduce risks and protect their assets and people.
Our Birmingham team works closely with every client to understand the security challenges they might be facing, recommending the best combination of CCTV, alarms, access controls, physical guarding and remote monitoring for sites and developments of all sizes.
