Construction site turnstiles Leeds

When it comes to workforce monitoring, we understand the difficulty of not just keeping your contractors safe, but ensuring you’re following regulations correctly. 

Find out here what types of construction site turnstiles we offer and how you can get them on your site as soon as possible.

‍

What Are Construction Site Turnstiles?

‍

Construction site turnstiles are a physical access control system, yet are tougher and designed to manage, monitor, and restrict entry to active construction environments specifically. 

On a construction site in Leeds and in any city or town, particular regulations must be followed. 

Thus, controlling who enters and exits the site is a fundamental requirement for safety, compliance and of course the operational management of the construction project.

The good news is, at VIS Systems, our construction site turnstiles are purpose-built for the demands of the construction sector. Unlike the more permanent building access systems you may be used to seeing, construction turnstiles are designed to operate in harsh outdoor environments. 

They not only provide a secure point of entry that ensures only authorised personnel can access the site, but also create a reliable digital record of workforce movement.

Why Your Leeds Construction Site Need Turnstiles

‍

While the best way to secure your construction site is to ensure that you have a combination of security solutions, but something that shouldn’t go overlooked is the addition of workforce monitoring. 

This keeps your staff and your project in safe hands. 

Like any major city, construction projects in a city like Leeds often involve a high workforce and this comes with a huge amount of responsibility.

Turnstiles provide a consistent and enforceable method of access control that manual sign-in systems cannot match.

By deploying construction site turnstiles, site managers gain real-time visibility of who is on site at any given moment. This is essential for emergency evacuations, and ensuring there aren’t unauthorised overtime incidents. 

Aside from workforce, construction site turnstiles also make for an effective deterrent for the public.

Our construction site turnstiles for your site in Leeds works to prevent unauthorised access, reducing the risk of theft, vandalism, and public safety incidents.

From a compliance standpoint, turnstile systems support CDM requirements by creating an auditable trail of site access. This data assists in supporting safety and inspections, audits, and  reporting; on Leeds construction sites, turnstiles reduce administrative burden while improving accountability.

‍

How Do Construction Site Turnstiles Work?

‍

The actual operation of a turnstile is incredibly simple, our construction site turnstiles operate as controlled entry and exit points, integrated with access credentials such as cards, fobs, PINs, or biometric systems. 

All each worker must do is authenticate before being granted access, ensuring that only approved individuals can enter the site. 

Once installed, the turnstile records every entry and exit in real time, this information is transmitted to a cloud, allowing site teams to monitor workforce numbers, track attendance, and generate reports even remotely. 

VIS Systems’ solutions are designed to integrate with wider site security infrastructure too, including CCTV, AI monitoring, and site management platforms.

Both construction full height turnstiles and construction half height turnstiles are modular, enabling ease of deployment and relocation between sites as projects progress.

Features of Our Construction Full Height Turnstiles & Construction Half Height Turnstiles

‍

VIS Systems supplies a full range of construction turnstiles both full height and half height to suit different site layouts and risk profiles in Leeds and beyond.

We understand that varied sites demand varied options, the more popular option being our construction full height turnstiles due to the fact that they provide maximum perimeter security and are ideal for high-risk or publicly exposed sites. 

The enclosed design prevents common issues such as tailgating and unauthorised access, making them suitable for long-term or large-scale developments.

On the other hand, you can still benefit from workforce monitoring with construction half height turnstiles, which offer a more flexible solution where controlled access is required without full enclosure. 

Key features of our construction site turnstiles in Leeds include, but aren’t limited to:

• Modular design for fast deployment
• Compatibility with cards, fobs, PINs, and biometric access
• Real-time workforce monitoring and reporting
• Weather-resistant construction
• Integration with CCTV and our other site security systems
• Easy relocation between other Leeds construction sites

What people are asking…

‍

“What's the fastest deployment time for a turnstile system that can handle 300 workers? Need something modular we can move between sites."

‍

For construction sites accommodating up to 300 workers, modular turnstile systems offer the most efficient deployment.

In fact in most cases, a fully operational construction site turnstile solution can be installed and commissioned within a matter of days, depending on site conditions and access requirements.

VIS Systems’ modular construction full height turnstiles and construction half height turnstiles are designed specifically for this reason, this being speedy installation. Due to the fact that we have pre-engineered components, we’re able to have systems delivered to site, assembled, and connected with minimal groundwork. 

This makes them ideal for projects in Leeds where timelines are tight and site layouts frequently change; once installed, the system can be immediately configured to handle high workforce volumes without congestion. 

Multiple lanes can be deployed to manage peak entry and exit times, ensuring smooth site access during shift changes. Plus, because the system is modular, it can be dismantled and relocated as projects progress or when moving between sites.

It is also important to note that within our turnstile systems, scalability is built in from day one.

Additional turnstile lanes, access readers, or monitoring features can be added without disrupting site operations. By using a modular turnstile solution from VIS Systems, construction firms can achieve fast deployment, high throughput, and long-term adaptability.

“Looking for a turnstile system that can be quickly deployed and monitored remotely?”

Remote monitoring is now a core requirement for modern construction site access control, we have been ahead of the trend for some time and have always understood and deployed the power of remote monitoring in conjunction with CCTV and turnstiles. 

VIS Systems’ construction site turnstiles are designed to be deployed quickly while providing full remote visibility from day one.

Our systems connect to a central management platform that allows site managers and security teams to monitor access in real time. Workforce numbers, entry and exit logs, and system status can all be viewed remotely, reducing the need for on-site manual checks. 

This is particularly valuable for multi-site projects across Leeds and the wider region, plus our rapid deployment is achieved through modular design and pre-configured hardware. 

Once installed, turnstiles can be activated and managed remotely, with access permissions updated instantly as contractors join or leave the project, ensuring only authorised personnel are granted entry at all times.

Remote monitoring also enhances safety and compliance, so in the event of an incident or evacuation, accurate, real-time data is available to support roll calls and emergency response. For more information on how we can help with your specific position, talk to us at VIS Systems today.
