Construction site turnstiles

These systems help ensure that all individuals on-site have the necessary credentials and permissions, reducing liability risks and creating and keeping a secure working environment. Whether used for perimeter security or internal access control, turnstiles play a crucial role in safeguarding construction sites.

What Are Construction Turnstiles?

Construction site turnstiles are advanced access control solutions designed to regulate entry and exit on construction sites securely and efficiently. 

These turnstile systems both full height and regular, help manage workforce access, ensuring that only authorised personnel can enter specific areas of the site. 

By integrating modern security technologies, our turnstiles provide a security blanket against unauthorised access, mitigating risks such as theft, vandalism, and safety breaches - all of which can be costly mishaps.

Unlike traditional access control methods, turnstiles access control solutions offer automated entry management, reducing the need for manual checks by security personnel. Not only does this make for increased efficiency, but you’re also saving money on wages.

This automation not only enhances security but also streamlines workforce management by tracking attendance effectively and movement in real-time. Full height turnstiles, in particular, provide an added layer of security by preventing the likes of tailgating, a key issue in the industry.

The Benefits of Turnstiles for Construction Sites

So, why should you invest in turnstiles and how exactly will they make your site, safer?

#1 Improved Access Management

The key benefit of turnstiles for construction sites lies in that effective turnstile systems allow for precise control over who enters and exits the site, reducing the risk of unauthorised personnel gaining access to restricted areas. This controlled access helps prevent theft of valuable materials and equipment, a common concern in the construction industry.

#2 Integration with VIS Systems’ Security Technologies

Another key advantage of turnstile access control is their ability to integrate with various security technologies, such as biometric scanners, CSCS Smart Check, and facial recognition systems. 

These integrations further enhance security by ensuring that only pre-approved staff members or authorised visitors can gain entry. Additionally, data tracking capabilities in real time enables site managers to monitor workforce attendance, improving efficiency, accountability and project oversight.

#3 Compliance with Health and Safety Regulations

From a compliance perspective, security turnstiles support adherence to health and safety regulations by allowing entry to just individuals who have completed necessary safety training or hold valid credentials. 

Most construction projects require strict workforce monitoring to ensure adherence to health and safety regulations and contract requirements, making turnstile systems an invaluable asset for construction site management and safety of your staff. 

Turnstiles Options: What Your Construction Site Needs

Full Height Turnstiles

Full height turnstiles are arguably the most secure option, offering a physical barrier that prevents unauthorised access. These turnstiles are highly effective in high-risk areas, ensuring complete control over site entry points. 

Designed to prevent tailgating and forced entry, they are ideal for perimeter security and controlled entry zones.

Full height turnstiles are robust, floor-to-ceiling security barriers designed to control access in high-security environments. These advanced entry systems:

• Restrict entry to one person at a time
• Prevent unauthorised access and tailgating
• Provide a physical and visual security deterrent

In addition to their robust security features, full height turnstiles can be integrated with advanced access control systems, including biometric access control. This ensures that only personnel who are allowed onsite can gain entry, reducing security risks and improving workforce tracking, even when you’re not there. Their durable design makes them well-suited for harsh construction site environments, such as UK winter periods where reliability is a key requirement 24/7.

Full Height Turnstiles Key Benefits

• Rapid deployment
• Rugged construction
• Precise traffic control
• Enhanced site safety
• Comprehensive access management

Half Height Turnstiles

VIS offer precision-engineered stainless steel half height turnstiles designed for modern, high-traffic environments. Our turnstiles combine sophisticated aesthetics with robust security, creating access control solutions that make a powerful first impression. Compact and discreet, these innovative barriers provide seamless security without disrupting your space's visual harmony, making them the ideal choice for sophisticated access management.

They can be integrated with digital access systems too, allowing for seamless verification and logging of personnel movement.

Half-height turnstiles are particularly useful for sites where managing foot traffic efficiently is essential, such as temporary site offices or worker checkpoints. 

While they provide a level of access control, they may not be as effective as full height turnstiles in preventing unauthorised entry. However, when combined with additional security measures like CCTV surveillance or and remote monitoring, they can offer a well rounded approach to site security.

Half height turnstiles are innovative, waist-high security barriers designed to provide controlled access while maintaining a professional aesthetic. These versatile entry systems:

• Allow only one person to pass at a time
• Offer flexible security for various environments

Half Height Turnstiles Key Benefits
