ISG Construction - Lombard Street

Background

International construction services company ISG were awarded a £29 million, two-stage, design and build project to deliver a new, highly-sustainable commercial office development in the City of London.

The project would involve the demolition of an existing building in the heart of the capital’s banking district, and the delivery of 58,000 sq ft (NIA) of high-specification Cat A office accommodation.

The Challenge

Given the site's location, ISG were keen to protect against potential intrusions, and mitigate the risk of plant theft that would cause significant delays to the project.

To achieve this, the decision was made to invest in an electronic security system, specifically a reliable, proactive and redeployable CCTV solution that was capable of providing immediate alerts of any intrusion onto the site, along with high-quality evidential footage. 

The Solution

ISG contracted WCCTV, the UK's leading supplier of specialist electronic site security systems and managed services. 

Two WCCTV Site Domes were deployed at the site, creating an invisible perimeter detection system to pick up on any intrusion at first point of ingress onto the site.

The WCCTV Site Dome is designed for rapid deployment and combines a market leading infrared PTZ camera, wireless transmission capability, a voice address system and an integral 4TG hard drive.

If an intrusion is verified, a live audio challenge is issued via the speaker system which has been proven as a positive deterrent. In addition, ISG can liaise with other members of staff, mobile guards or the police to protect the site.

The Result

Since the deployment of WCCTV's Site Domes, there have been no reported incidents of intrusion or theft at the site.

ISG were delighted that WCCTV's systems provided them with the ability to secure their plant equipment, protect assets and reduce the loss of work time.
