Construction Site Capability
Protection for active developments, compounds, plant and building materials.
AGS Security provides manned guarding, security dog handling, mobile patrols, key holding, vacant property protection and construction site security across the South West. Our regional coverage includes Bristol, Exeter, Plymouth, Swindon and Truro, with security solutions tailored to construction projects, vacant buildings, remote sites, commercial premises, industrial locations and dispersed property portfolios.
The South West is home to Hinkley Point C in Somerset, now costed at £48bn in today’s prices, with its first reactor due to start in 2030 and a supply chain that reaches across the region. Plymouth and South Devon Freeport, with tax sites at South Yard, Langage and Sherford, is forecast to create more than 3,500 jobs, and large logistics schemes are rising along the M4 and M5. Long distances between sites and a wide rural area mean many compounds, warehouses and empty properties sit unattended out of hours, where regular checks and a fast response matter most. AGS Security organises South West cover from its Wolverhampton office via the M5 — Bristol is about 93 miles away, Exeter about 164 and Plymouth about 207.
Protection for active developments, compounds, plant and building materials.
Risk-led security for empty, closed and redevelopment premises.
Flexible guarding and patrol solutions for dispersed or isolated locations.
Structured mobilisation, supervision, incident reporting and escalation support.
South West projects can be geographically dispersed and may include isolated compounds, rural developments, vacant buildings and operational sites that require flexible deployment, reliable patrols and clear reporting.
Protection for active developments, compounds, plant, machinery, materials and access points.
Guarding and patrol support for empty commercial, residential and industrial premises.
Security for isolated compounds, rural projects, development land and dispersed assets.
Scheduled visits, alarm attendance and secure key management for regional property portfolios.
Remote developments, rural compounds and vacant buildings can face increased exposure to trespass, theft, vandalism, fuel loss and delayed incident discovery. These environments often require a combination of visible guarding, mobile patrols and clear escalation procedures.
AGS Security can provide SIA-licensed officers, security dog handlers, mobile patrols, key holding and alarm response to support isolated, dispersed and higher-risk locations throughout the South West.

For isolated compounds and farm-edge developments, visible mobile patrols, alarm response and security dog handlers are the usual deterrents; the right mix depends on how exposed the site is and how far it is from a main road.
