Innovative technology bolsters security on construction sites
Two new products that aim to secure construction sites and prevent operations from becoming targets of criminal activities, are now available.
EnviraBar and EnviraMesh products from GFRP Tech are designed to enhance security and efficiency within the construction sector.
“As highlighted at the recent cidb National Construction Summit, the urgent need for effective security measures has never been more apparent, as the country continues to face challenges of extortion, vandalism and theft. Our products, made from glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP), offer a dual advantage: they improve construction efficiency while serving as a deterrent,” notes GFRP Tech CEO Allen Fiford.
Unlike traditional materials such as steel rebar and mesh, which have high resale values, the new products hold little to no resale value. This reduces the incentive for theft, ensuring that on-site security remains intact.
“By using materials that lack resale value, we can effectively deter theft and safeguard valuable assets on site,” adds Fiford.
GFRP Tech says that it advocates for a comprehensive approach to security for the construction industry.
“We encourage construction firms to adopt robust perimeter security measures, implement access control systems, and leverage technology-driven solutions such as tracking systems for equipment and tools. These strategies are essential in creating a safer working environment for all stakeholders involved,” says Fiford.
