By their very nature, scaffolds provide easy access to whatever structure they have been erected against, making them easy targets for vandals, thieves, and mischief-makers of all kinds; not exactly reassuring to those who live or work inside the structure seeking safety, privacy, or protection.

When London’s city ordinances made it a requirement for scaffolds to be set with alarms back in the 1980s, PermanexCCS was there to answer the technological call. Since creating scaffold alarms long ago, we have led industry security throughout the UK ever since, providing hard-wired systems for larger, long-term projects; battery-powered systems for smaller, short-term projects; and visual verification systems for high-profile sites.

Key Features of the Permanex-CSS Scaffold Alarm System

Our scaffold alarms offer an amazing value to our customers and are one of the most cost effective means of intruder prevention. Taking advantage of the latest electronic security systems available, our scaffold security alarms create a harmless, volumetric beam detection zone using a combination of microwave, active and passive infrared detectors. Easy Installation, Easy Maintenance We know that your security requirements change as the construction site work progresses. Our wireless alarms system packages offer you the flexibility to increase or decrease the size of your secure area without incurring additional call-out charges. We are happy to install the systems for you in any location you would like. However, our systems are designed to be intuitive, so with a little instruction, you can place your sensors out wherever you want, whenever you want. PermanexCSS will continue to make routine maintenance visits at no additional charge to you to ensure that they are always optimally placed and operating as they should.
