Overview

Active construction sites face theft, vandalism and unauthorised access. Our uniformed guards safeguard equipment, materials and personnel around the clock with a visible, professional presence.

Construction sites are among the highest-risk commercial environments in NSW — open perimeters, high-value plant, transient sub-contractors and tight programme deadlines. Fortress Gold deploys uniformed officers who understand the rhythm of a build: they hold the gate at 5am, run after-dark patrols around scaffolds and crane bases, and write incident reports your site manager can hand straight to the insurer.

Pre-mobilisation site walk

Before officers go live, our operations manager walks the site with your project lead. We map fence lines, lay-down yards, crane exclusion zones, hot-work areas and the locations of high-theft items like copper, tools and fuel — then translate that into post orders and patrol routes.

Gatehouse & access control

Officers run sign-in/out registers, verify SWMS and inductions, and turn away non-compliant trades. Visitor IDs are issued and recovered, deliveries are checked against schedules, and any after-hours access is logged with photo evidence.

Plant, tool and copper protection

Roving patrols on randomised schedules — never predictable. We tag-check generators, compressors, scaffold ties and copper coils, and capture serials so anything that walks off site can be tracked and reported within the same shift.

WHS-aware incident response

Our officers are trained on construction WHS basics so they can shut down an unsafe situation, secure the scene of an injury until SafeWork attends, and preserve CCTV footage for your investigation pack.

FAQs

Common questions

Can you cover a single weekend or shutdown?

Yes — short-term and one-off coverage is common. We hold a roster pool specifically for shutdowns, RDOs and Christmas closedowns.

Do guards manage deliveries?

Yes. Officers reconcile delivery dockets against your day plan, direct trucks to the correct lay-down area and flag anything outside the schedule.

Are officers White Card certified?

Every officer assigned to construction holds a current White Card plus their NSW Class 1A licence and our internal construction induction.

What happens if there's a break-in?

On-site officers contain and document, the control room dispatches mobile backup, and police are called per your escalation tree. You receive a written incident report within 12 hours with photos and CCTV stills.
