Securing a large scale housing development – Vistry Homes UK

Major UK housing developer Vistry Homes had experienced multiple break-ins across their Overstone site in Northampton. This resulted in diesel and boiler theft, vandalism and potentially dangerous trespassing incidents. These issues can often lead to project delays and site safety issues along with the financial impact of replacing stolen assets.

A belnded security solution

In response to the problems, BauWatch provided a comprehensive, blended security solution, including:

• BauWatch Scout: Modular system for easy relocation. Solar powered with 360° motion detection and video verification.
• BauWatch Greenlight: Highly visible CCTV tower with a 140m range and green floodlight making it a powerful deterrent.
• BauWatch Solar: Like the BauWatch Greenlight but solar powered for when you have no access to power on site.
• CCTV Systems: For concealed and hard to see areas.

This integrated approach ensured that the site was monitored constantly, minimising risks and enabling swift intervention in case of an incident.

Mike Tierney, Project Manager at Vistry Homes, shared his experience: “After various different issues on site, BauWatch provided a blended security solution that means the site is being monitored constantly. It’s great peace of mind for the project as we know that any break-ins can be dealt with swiftly in real-time.”

Invaluable protection

The innovative and adaptive security solution provided by BauWatch has been invaluable in protecting Vistry Homes’ development at Overstone. The partnership has not only helped to safeguard the site but also enabled the project to progresses smoothly and securely.
