Construction site access control

Our award-winning plug and play construction site access control systems are a statement in security boasting a wireless pod that comprises a compact and secure, anti-vandal steel unit, integrated with contactless biometrics and a full height turnstile.

‍

What Is a Construction Site Access Control Procedure?

Construction site access control promotes a secure procedure for staff visiting or working on a construction site so only authorised and trained personnel can get on site.

Ultimately, construction sites carry numerous risks, so for those entering it is crucial that they have the right qualifications and training behind them. Without this, they could get hurt, this could even leave you, the site operator, liable. 

This procedure is put into place with the use of site access construction site turnstiles; also known as our VIS Systems POD. 

Example of Construction Site Access Control Systems 

Access control refers to the practice of restricting entrance to a facility or a specific area within that facility.

Examples of construction site access control include using PIN codes, keycards, biometric scanners, or the old fashioned way of having security guards to grant or deny entry. 

While this is the way security started, it isn't the way it has to continue. Technology has progressed, so security should too, keep outsmarting trespassers and criminals and utilise the right technology and facilities available to keep your business and construction site safe and running smoothly.

Our construction site security system can be deployed rapidly, so stay ahead in the industry and make the right choice in putting construction site security first.

POD Access Control Features

‍

How the POD Site Access Control Works

Our POD is an access control system that uses our state-of-the-art biometric technology to accurately measure site attendance and ensure that only certified and verified users can access your Project.

The units are pre-built and tested in our dedicated workshop and have been designed to be true plug and play without a need for an engineer on site, reducing carbon emissions and improving efficiency. 

As a rapidly deployable solution our pods are modular and scalable for larger projects as well as being one of the few site entry systems being easy to relocate on site.

Our POD is built and manufactured in the UK and includes a ruggedised full height turnstile of the highest quality, ensuring only the right people are entering and exiting your construction site. 

Not to worry if you’re running a smaller operation, as we have construction site access control solutions for any kind of sized business, For smaller projects and areas that have limited space but still need access control, we have a range of external, internal and half-height turnstile products available too.

Our user-friendly cloud software is ideal for multi-site operations and is designed with a built-in pre-enrolment function to easily register new arrivals onto the system. 

Once enrolled and verified, users simply clock in and out without the need to touch a device at the turnstile. From time sheets to contractor CSR reports, all can be easily obtained via a secure web login with online inductions and delivery scheduling also available.

The Benefit of Full Height Construction Site Turnstiles

At VIS Systems, we implement strong and robust full height turnstiles for our site access control systems.

This is something that is increasingly necessary to avoid unauthorised access and the likes of theft and costly accidents, so, you can trust us to install innovative construction turnstiles that do more than your average. 

There is no way of getting around these strong turnstile construction site entry systems, so you can rest assured that the only people entering are the ones permitted to do so. 

Not only does turnstile access control ensure only the right people enter your construction site, but it can also allow you to test the body temperature of incoming people to ensure no infections are entering your construction site and affecting the workforce.

Health and Safety compliance and a reduction in admin time for site management as well as access to a suite of considerate constructor KPI reports all compile for a secure approach to construction site safety. 

For more information on how we can implement our full height turnstile entry systems on your construction site, get in touch with us today. 

What people are asking...

"What is access control on a construction site?"

‍

Access control in construction is simply the systems that are used to manage who can enter, exit, and move around a building site. 

In modern developments, construction site access control is no longer limited to a simple sign-in sheet or security guard checking passes manually, instead, contractors are increasingly using integrated construction site access control systems that use the power of biometric technology with turnstile access control security systems to improve both site security and workforce management.

The actual purpose of construction site access control is straightforward, it ensures that only authorised individuals can access the site.

At VIS Systems, construction biometric access control technology can verify worker identity instantly using facial recognition or biometric credentials. 

You’re then able, as the manager, to have a live record of who is on-site at any given time, which is particularly important on high-risk developments where multiple subcontractors may be operating together.

Construction site facial recognition systems also help reduce common security problems associated with shared access cards, this due to the fact that access is tied directly to an individual worker, the system creates a much higher level of accountability across the site.

‍

"How do construction site access control systems track who's on site?"

Construction site access control systems track who is on-site by recording every authorised entry and exit through access points across the development. 

In order to track who is on site, using access control systems allow for you to combine biometric access control construction technology, facial recognition systems, and turnstile access control security systems to create a live overview of site activity at all times.

The days of building sites relying on paper sign-in sheets, swipe cards, or manual gate security are over, the problem with these methods is that they are often inaccurate and ultimately, easy to bypass. 

Shared access cards, forgotten sign-outs, or manual errors can quickly make workforce records unreliable.

With VIS Systems, every entry and exit is automatically logged within the system, creating a real-time attendance record without requiring manual administration.

This level of visibility is particularly important for health and safety compliance, emergency evacuation procedures, and workforce management on larger projects.

‍

"Why do building sites need access control systems?"

Building sites need access control systems because construction environments are ever changing, plus the fact that they contain valuable equipment.

Without proper construction site access control, it becomes far more difficult to manage who is entering the site, where individuals are permitted to go, and whether unauthorised access is taking place.

Using construction biometric access control and construction site facial recognition technology, contractors make sure that only authorised personnel are allowed onto the site.

Integrated turnstile access control security systems create controlled entry points that help prevent unauthorised access, tailgating, or shared credentials.

On large developments, site managers need to know exactly who is on-site at any given time, particularly during emergencies or safety incidents; this is why at VIS Systems, access control is designed to work as part of a wider construction security strategy.
