Use of Concrete Barriers to Secure Vacant Property | Vacant Property Security Systems Hire | How To Secure Empty Property | Empty & Vacant Property Specialists

PSG offer a range of robust, temporary, portable security camera solutions for hire, tailored to protect and monitor empty property, construction sites, rural properties and other locations without access to power, broadband or telephone connections - and which enable PSG controllers to monitor intrusions and trespass 24/7.
The indoor and outdoor PIRs have integrated cameras which send 10 second video clips upon activation directly to key holders on their smartphones and web browser.
However, they are not the total solution. Whilst the cameras protect the perimeter, I have found that the added deterrent and preventative value of concrete barrier blocks to be significant.
Vacant properties attract
squatters, travellers and fly tipping. Concrete barriers assist in deterring
and preventing such intrusion - and are very affordable.
Case study 1: security
for empty derelict rural farmhouse and barns
Property Security Group Limited were instructed to secure a remote complex of semi-derelict farmhouses and barns in a rural setting. The site was subject to planning applications for redevelopment and there had been problems previously with traveller occupation and squatters.
PSG installed a portable
intruder alarm detection camera system and arranged for our local security key
holder services Basingstoke Security Keyholders www.basingstokekeyholders.com and Newbury Security Keyholders www.newburykeyholders.co.uk to provide rapid 24hr alarm response.
However, its rural
location meant that it could take fifteen to twenty minutes for response guards
to arrive on site.
Twenty minutes is long
enough for fly tippers to dump waste rubbish and house rubble and be gone –
leaving the client to pick up an expensive bill. We have had clients on other
sites in the UK who have been saddled with huge bills because the waste
included hazardous materials or asbestos.
So, we called our favourite concrete block and barrier suppliers, Naivette Services Limited, Stop Block Barriers (www.concrete-security-barriers) who offer attractive hire and outright purchase charges – and very fair delivery/collection charges.
They delivered blocks
within 48 hours and secured the main gates. The odds are now stacked in our
favour!
Case study 2: security
for vacant office and warehouse premises
Property Security Group Limited were instructed to secure an empty office block whilst planning applications for redevelopment were being processed; a portable 3G wireless intruder detection camera system was installed with 24hr monitoring by PSG controllers.
Immediately before
completion of the purchase, the property had been heavily vandalised by youths
and a failed attempt at arson.
Within days, metal thieves
in Transit tipper vans attempted to break in but were deterred from remaining
on site by the 110db siren strategically located on the roof.
Again, Naivette Services
were asked to supply concrete blocks to prevent the vehicles returning to site.
It didn’t take long before
the tipper vans returned to site and unsuccessfully tried to push the blocks
out of the way – but couldn’t budge them. The cameras detected their arrival on
site and local security keyholders and Police attended but it seems that the
siren again worked its magic.
