Construction site access control London
At VIS Systems, we have construction site access control systems in London that provide everything you need to keep your construction site safe.


Each access control pod from VIS Systems offers high level security and all the while, contactless biometric verification embedded within a full height turnstile, so find out here why your construction site needs them to stay safe in the busy capital.
What Is a Construction Site Access Control Procedure?
Construction site access control in London is an essential safety and compliance measure, it simply isn’t optional as it is key to allowing only authorised personnel to enter active building sites.
With strict health and safety regulations and an increased risk of theft and site breaches across London construction projects, it’s more important than ever to verify every worker and visitor entering your premises.
Thus, by utilising turnstile access control security systems with construction biometric access control technology, site managers just like you can ensure only trained, certified workers step onto the site.
While security is the main goal, you also need to consider how a lack of security can affect liability, compliance with UK safety legislation, and ultimately protecting lives.
Without proper access procedures, you could risk non-compliance consequences, this includes the likes of fines, injury claims, and ultimately reputational damage.
At VIS Systems, our access control pods streamline this process, ensuring the right people enter your site, and unauthorised individuals are kept out.
Why You Need an Access Control System in London
Construction activity across London is fast paced, handling high value materials and locations making the need for a secure and efficient access control system more crucial than ever.
With multiple visitors coming and going daily, the risk of unauthorised access is heightened.
That being said, a site without proper access control not only exposes itself to theft, vandalism, and safety breaches but also risks failing compliance checks set by local authorities and national regulations.
Specifically regarding London, construction sites in central London or general high footfall areas are especially vulnerable to purposeful, malicious and even accidental access by members of the public.
That is why an advanced access control system helps reduce said risks by allowing only authorised and verified personnel onto the premises.
With construction biometric access control, including facial recognition and contactless verification, your site in London benefits from secure, efficient and touch-free entry and exit management.
Construction site access control systems are also essential for workforce monitoring and project management. In such a major city where multiple projects can be running almost on every corner it’s vital to have real-time data on who is on-site, when they arrived, and whether they hold the correct certifications.
So, how do we combat these hurdles for you? Our London based clients benefit from our cloud connected systems, so you can see what data you need anytime, any place.
Whether your project is based in Canary Wharf, Shoreditch, Wembley or Battersea, investing in a scalable access control system ensures your construction site meets the security demands of modern London construction.
Examples of Construction Site Access Control Systems
Access control in construction refers to the tools, technologies, and procedures that restrict entry to authorised workers only. At VIS Systems, we specialise in advanced construction site access control systems across London, going beyond basics like keycards.
Traditional systems, such as manual security guards or fobs, are vulnerable to misuse or general human error. For that understanding, our systems bring London construction sites into the modern age with facial recognition, biometric fingerprint scanners, and contactless entry always ensuring fast, accurate access management.
Our construction site facial recognition and biometric access systems allow you to stay one step ahead of potential security threats.
POD Access Control Features
Our signature POD unit is a complete plug-and-play access control system designed for construction environments in London and beyond.
Each POD is pre-built, and modular which allows for rapid deployment and relocation across multiple projects.
It combines the power of construction biometric access control with a strong build and all the while boasts technology features like cloud management.
Features include instant facial recognition, video intercom, temperature screening, and a full height turnstile for secure entry.
With integrated 4G connectivity managing workforce monitoring remotely has never been easier, ideal for London firms operating across multiple sites or contractors needing on-the-go access to labour records and reporting.
From health screening to instant attendance data, our contactless biometrics offer a seamless, hygienic, and secure way to manage site entry and exit.
How the POD Construction Site Access Control Works
Our POD access control system works by registering and verifying all site personnel before granting access via a full height turnstile.
Using advanced construction biometric access control technology, such as facial recognition or fingerprint readers, the system verifies identity against the aforementioned cloud-based database.
The good news is, we like to keep it simple for you as a project manager, as we know you have enough to deal with without lengthy set ups. That is why the unit can be delivered and installed without requiring an on-site engineer, minimising disruption to construction processes.
Our cloud software enables management teams to track who’s on site, generate timesheets, schedule deliveries, and produce contractor CSR reports; so whether you’re managing one large scale project in central London or multiple developments throughout the boroughs, our scalable PODs ensure you’re always in control.
