Our Security Process

How We Deliver Civil Engineering and Infrastructure Security

Infrastructure projects run long, span large footprints and carry high-value plant that moves between phases. AGS Security follows a structured four-stage process so every civil engineering assignment is properly assessed, appropriately staffed and effectively managed from enabling works to handover.

01

Consultation & Planning

We start by discussing your programme, site footprint, working hours and any principal contractor or framework requirements that shape the cover.

  • Initial security consultation
  • Programme and phasing review
  • Contractual and reporting requirements
02

Site & Risk Assessment

We review compound layout, access points, plant and material storage, boundary vulnerability and the risks specific to each phase of the works.

  • Entry and exit point assessment
  • Plant and material storage review
  • Recommended officer deployment
03

Officer Briefing & Deployment

SIA-licensed, vetted officers are selected for the site, assigned clear duties and fully briefed on site rules and induction requirements before their first shift.

  • Officer role allocation
  • Gatehouse and patrol briefing
  • Incident and escalation procedures
04

Ongoing Operational Support

Our management team stays available throughout the programme to supervise cover, adjust as the works progress and respond to changing site requirements.

  • Ongoing operational supervision
  • Clear reporting to site management
  • Rapid cover for absence and escalation
