Construction Security | Protect Your Equipment and Expensive Jobsite Materials |  |  Construction Theft Cost The Industry Millions
Theft and vandalism in buildings and construction sites is a growing problem today. With large black markets out there, anyone can sell stolen merchandise such as cable, wire, portable offices, office trailers and building materials . According to the National Insurance Crime Bureau, the construction industry in the United States lost nearly $1 billion in 2001 to equipment and tools theft. The average contractor loses more than $13,000 a year due to theft and vandalism. No known studies have determined the distribution of the theft losses among the different sectors of the construction industry. Many insurance companies state that equipment losses due to vandalism alone account for up to 22% of large contractor equipment losses.

Easy to Steal, Hard to Track
A host of factors make construction sites attractive targets for thieves, not the least of which is the ease of stealing unprotected equipment. Everything is being stolen; compressors, generators, skid loaders, forklifts, copper wires, heavy equipment. Since there is a market for this, it is just a matter of loading the equipment onto a truck and leave the site with it. When people see the equipment being loaded onto trucks, it doesn't raise concern. No one thinks it's suspicious when someone loads up equipment and drives away.
The theft problem is further compounded by the lack of a single source for identifying and tracking equipment.
One of the most troubling aspects of construction theft is the amount stolen by employees. Sixty percent of thefts are internal. The construction industry is seasonal and employees know they're going to get laid off. The consequence is that before the job is over, the trade is being hit. The bottom line for contractors is that the thefts are costing them big money, and in more ways than one. If you get hit enough, you're going to have very big insurance deductibles.
Security Solutions
As dire as the situation sounds, experts say simple, inexpensive precautions can help protect tools and equipment.Contractors can further protect their equipment by putting technology such as GPS Tracking System on their side. High-tech — but in most cases, low-cost — protection and recovery systems are now available to deter thieves and track stolen equipment.

$1 Billion Lost Nationwide Due to Construction Equipment Theft
The criminal world has discovered a lucrative and growing market: heavy construction equipment. According to the National Insurance Crime Bureau, close to $1 billion a year is lost nationwide due to the theft of construction equipment and tools. Figures suggest this is a growing problem and is getting worse every year. The Insurance Services Office shows an increase of up to 20% in the value of equipment thefts every year since 1996. In reality only 10-15% of this equipment is ever recovered. This loss doesn't take into account the added costs of rentals, replacements, production downtime, wasted managements time, and the dreaded overrun penalties.
Equipment Theft Detection
One of the main problems in recovering your valuable construction equipment is often days and even months go by before the equipment owners realize it's been stolen. This is especially true in multi-site operations which have fleets of heavy construction vehicles, equipment and who don't yet have fleet management systems in place. The thief is long gone by the time any type of criminal investigation can begin. For police, from experience, investigations are often time-consuming and frustrating.
Lower your insurance costs, increase profits by avoiding shut downs due to stolen equipment, and avoid costly maintenance problems. The low monthly fees are much easier to budget for and manage than the loss of only one vehicle.
Prevention and Equipment Tracking
Anti-theft and Location devices such as Livewire GPS , DeWalt Mobile Lock GPS Locator, the smallest portable Super PocketTrack GPS and are just a few new revolutionary products taking the construction industry by storm. Virtually undetectable, these devices sit patiently in secret ares of your heavy or light construction vehicles and equipment until they are silently tripped by unsuspecting thieves. Immediately an alarm communication is sent out silently or with an audible alarm. Within seconds, a notification via email or phone are sent to one or multiple people. Even if your equipment is located miles or hours away from you / police being able to reach the unit the moment an alarm is tripped, or when criminals are on the run, the integrated state-of-the-art GPS Tracking can instantly pinpoint 24/7 live, in real-time where your asset is, and even where it has been with a mapped "breadcrumb" trail. "The tracking software was very intuitive and easy to use. I consider myself a novice on computers since i'm always in the field, however, in 15 minutes I was able to see all 8 of my trucks and our gang boxes" said Michael Kranshaw of Kranshaw Construction. " Last year alone we had 3 gang boxes stolen with over $150,000 worth of tools. My only complaint is that I didn't know about these sooner!".
Typical Applications and Equipment Tracking
