The costs of cable theft to construction sites
Construction sites are vulnerable to cable theft due to pre-commissioned cable installs being left uncovered or incomplete overnight or over a weekend, and stocks of cable reels being left exposed on site while waiting to be installed. Cable is a valuable commodity due to the copper inside it, which is easily recycled and sold on. As a result, cable theft is common amongst opportunistic thieves and organised criminal gangs.
Cable theft can impact on a construction project financially, and from disruption to essential supplies, services and assets which the site uses and relies on. The electrical infrastructure of a building and its surrounding area is essential to how the resulting scheme will operate, and cable theft is a huge problem to manage for construction sites. FRG Tremors is a proactive cable detection system designed to prevent cable theft before it happens.
FRG Tremors – an innovative cable theft detector solution for your construction site
FRG Tremors works in three ways:
- Detect – advanced seismic tamper sensor technology to immediately detect any vibration, tilt or movement of cabling.
- React – our 24/7 monitoring centre receives alerts which enable us to instantly notify patrols or canine response units.
- Recover – we can then use GPS tracking combined with our anti-jamming detection to identify attempts to remove or tamper with cabling, support recovery and aid police action.
Our proactive cable theft detection system can integrate with other security solutions such as security patrols, perimeter detection systems, CCTV, intruder alarms and access control systems, to provide a comprehensive security system for your construction site. These sites present constant security issues due to the ever-changing environment – FRG Tremors provides reassurance that you always have effective security measures in place.
