Four independent companies are combining their expertise to offer the construction industry a sustainable solution to the ever increasing problem of security on construction projects.

Building materials, plant and machinery are tempting targets for opportunist thieves as well as organised gangs; it is not surprising therefore that criminal activity is costing the construction industry in excess of £1m per day. Environmental issues are also an important factor within the construction industry with companies looking to minimise each project’s carbon footprint.


GR8 Security, Unipart Security Solutions Ltd, Zicam Smart Security Systems and Infobric have formed the Eco Security alliance which will enable a comprehensive, integrated security solution for virtually any construction project. This includes the installation and remote monitoring of video surveillance and intruder detection systems, as well as manned guarding services.

Proudly spearheading the project, Managing Director of Zicam, Milan Mazic said. "We are confident that the Eco Security alliance can play a major role in helping the construction industry deter and detect theft, as well as creating a safe and secure environment for staff.

"The four companies in the alliance are working together out of mutual respect for the abilities of each other and with one objective in mind, i.e. to build long term business relationships with clients by providing best in class security solutions which are affordable, intelligent and sustainable."
