Construction site turnstiles London
Looking for reliable access control companies in London? At VIS Systems, we supply reliable and secure access control turnstiles across London construction sites to help ensure that only authorised personnel can access your site.


Our security turnstiles offer seamless site entry, reduce the need for manual checks, and integrate easily with additional tech like facial recognition – for when you need that next level of security.
How Facial Recognition Works with Turnstile Access Control
Whether you require construction full height turnstiles for maximum restriction or half height turnstiles for internal access zones, we offer a full range of access control systems tailored to the needs of modern London developments.
So, while turnstile access control can operate on its own, it can also be upgraded with facial recognition for touch-free verification. When paired together, the security turnstiles act as the physical barrier, while the facial recognition system confirms identity.
So, how does it work?
It is simple as ever for the user, as workers approach the turnstile, the camera captures and verifies their face against encrypted biometric records. If verified, the turnstile unlocks instantly, reducing congestion during shift changes and making access contact-free and compliant with health and safety best practices.
This layered system ensures your construction site access control is both physically and digitally secure, giving you confidence that only approved, trained personnel are entering your busy London construction site.
Types of Security Turnstiles in London
There are two main types of turnstiles for construction sites, so at VIS Systems, we provide a full range of security turnstiles designed for the construction industry, available for short- or long-term hire or even permanent installation.
Our access control turnstiles are ideal for projects of all sizes across London, it is simply a preference of what will keep your site the most secure. Weigh up what you think is best by taking into consideration the following…
Construction Full Height Turnstiles
Construction full height turnstiles are ideal for control in high-risk areas where tighter access control is required. These essentially provide a full height from the ground up barrier that cannot be climbed over or bypassed, making them perfect for standalone site entrances.
The key aspects and features of this option include:
- Suitable for 24/7 security around the clock when guards are unavailable
- Integrates with biometric data scanners
- Weatherproof and built for remote environments
- Compatible with VIS Systems time and attendance systems
Construction Half Height Turnstiles
Construction half height turnstiles are often used indoors or in lower-risk areas of the site. They still offer effective access control while providing a more accessible option while still highlighting the importance of deterrence.
The key aspects and features of this option include:
- Ideal for internal access points
- Faster flow of workers
- Works with facial recognition
- Easy to install and relocate if needed
Both turnstile types are part of our access control systems London solution and can be tailored to suit your operational needs, simply get in touch to find out our recommendations based on your construction project scale.
Why You Need Access Control Systems on Your London Construction Site
Effective construction site access control is a critical component of any secure and well managed building project. It plays a key role in safeguarding your workforce, ensuring compliance with health and safety regulations in London, and protecting your site from unauthorised access.
Without proper systems in place, construction sites are vulnerable to delays, security breaches, and even legal consequences due to failure to meet compliance requirements.
That being said, installing access control turnstiles on your London construction site provides clear oversight of who is entering and leaving at any given time.
These systems ensure that only authorised, trained personnel can access the site, which not only improves safety but also helps prevent theft and trespassing.
How You Can Improve Site Efficiency
Our construction turnstiles allow real-time monitoring of time and attendance, making workforce management far more efficient and reducing the likelihood of timekeeping disputes or unauthorised overtime.
Turnstile access control also reduces the need for manual gatekeeping so as a site operator, you can keep down costs. Most importantly, it supports compliance with key regulations, including the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations (CDM), by ensuring that access is controlled and properly recorded.
When integrated with advanced technology such as facial recognition, these systems become even more powerful. They provide a contactless entry solution that assists in both operational flow and site security, giving you and your fellow construction managers greater peace of mind and control over who is on-site at any given moment.
