EV Charging Construction Security

Clearway provides temporary security solutions for EV charging construction sites, including perimeter intrusion detection and CCTV surveillance, to prevent theft and vandalism. EV charging construction security is a service that offers temporary security measures, such as perimeter intrusion detection and CCTV surveillance, to protect EV charging construction sites from theft and vandalism.

The rapid expansion of the EV charging infrastructure throughout the UK has contributed to a spike in targeted metal thefts, particularly around construction and development sites.

Advanced, professional, and proactive security is a key concern for service stations, petrol companies, retail and entertainment complexes, and car parking firms installing new facilities.

Clearway’s experienced EV charging security advisers provide end-to-end assistance to identify, manage, and effectively eliminate or mitigate your risks during construction projects. Our temporary solutions range from PID systems and CCTV surveillance to wearable security devices for construction personnel and other wireless perimeter protection systems to ensure your site is invulnerable to threats.

We offer:

  • Advanced temporary and wireless alarms and surveillance, covering any size of site or perimeter 24/7 for the duration of the development work.
  • Customised advice, based on the nature, location, duration and risk factors associated with your EV installation project or facility construction plans.
  • AI-enabled security devices, predicting and anticipating intent to trespass or attempt a theft before these incidents materialise.
  • Integrated and remote access solutions, connecting perimeter alarms with CCTV camera systems and wearable technology to provide a blanket of security.
  • Cost-effective and insurance-compliant resolutions using autonomous solutions that require no cabling, wiring, or other time-intensive installation work.
  • Ongoing professional alarm and camera monitoring through our highly accredited Alarm Receiving Centre, verifying the cause of alerts and eliminating false alarms.

Our EV Charging Construction Security Systems

Perimeter Intrusion Detection Systems (PIDS)

PIDS work remotely and autonomously, ideal for larger-scale or high-value EV construction zones where access to mains power is unavailable or unreliable. Rapid-deployment perimeter security devices can be positioned anywhere around your construction site, offering immediate protection and instant alerts when movement, activity or vibrations are detected – including those caused by approaching vehicles, covert entry attempts or a person climbing a fence.

Temporary CCTV hire for EV security

Temporary CCTV Hire

CCTV solutions are available for hire over any required period, offering the deterrent that visible professional security units offer while being flexible enough to position at key entry points, material storage bays, or areas where risks of thefts are highest. Our cameras range from targeted systems to protect specific zones or aspects of the development, such as higher-value copper wiring stores, and those with roving monitoring capabilities, to facial recognition, vehicle number plate detection and movement analytics to identify anomalous behaviour that requires investigation.

Video Verified Cameras

Designed specifically for construction sites and vacant plots or buildings, video-verified cameras work with commercial-grade battery power packs, taking immediate captures when any suspected risk or threat is detected. This footage is transmitted securely to the ARC or your chosen device to verify the cause, nature and location of the alarm or to stand down a non-urgent alert.

Insite Wearable Safety Devices

Wearable Security Technology

Our leading-edge wearable security solutions are created for personnel in higher-risk settings and ensure that EV installation teams have peace of mind that their safety and welfare are under constant supervision. Any indications of aggression, abuse, trespassing, or non-compliance with safe working protocols are detected and reported or actioned as appropriate.

Clearway CCTV Tower

CCTV Towers for EV Stations

Tower-mounted CCTV solutions are available for temporary hire periods, covering land or EV construction sites of any size, ensuring you have always-on defences across the entirety of your perimeters. Alerts and alarms are circulated via secure mobile networks, supported by solar or battery power, to ensure they are functioning at all times, with remote sensors that detect any signs of unwanted or criminal activity.

What Do We Protect Against?

An independent and professional risk appraisal is often the first step in upgrading your security. It identifies the points of your EV installation project that are most vulnerable to threats, the types of crimes or issues most likely to occur, and how best to mitigate or manage those risks as cost-efficiently and effectively as possible.

Some of the most prevalent concerns we identify include the following:

Vandalism

EV construction projects are often exposed to petty theft, vandalism and criminal damage, particularly overnight or when the development is unsupervised. Installing highly visible cameras, alarms, and other security devices can deter opportunist criminal activity across the site.

Thefts of Copper and Cabling

The value of the materials used in constructing EV charging stations is well-known, and organised criminals can attempt to strip assets from construction sites before it is installed. A robust security strategy can both prevent targeted thefts and mark out your site as one under 24/7 supervision.

Equipment and Vehicular Thefts

Equipment such as earth-moving machinery, heavy-duty vehicles, and tooling are equally exposed to deliberate break-ins, making an always-on approach to EV charging construction essential to removing any potential entry point or access to commercial assets without detection.

Violence or Aggression Against Personnel

While many members of the public welcome investments in new EV charging stations, any work that may inconvenience or disrupt motorists or site users can attract unwanted responses. Wearable security and CCTV systems can deter frustrated people from confronting or abusing workers while rapidly recording and flagging any emerging incidents.

Frequently asked questions

Every construction site or service station fitting an extended EV charging facility will have physical defences, usually safety barriers, bollards, and lighting, to safeguard the general public from accident or injury, reroute traffic, and ensure work can continue during inclement weather.

The issue with total reliance on these measures is that they are surprisingly easy to circumvent.

Augmenting the presence of an anti-climb fence or set of bollards can ensure a vehicle or person is prevented from accessing the site easily while simultaneously knowing their movements are under surveillance or will trigger an emergency security alert.
