Solar Security Trailers Offer Peace of Mind | J Bar

Solar Security Trailers offer peace of mind despite the rise in construction site theft.

Construction site theft is becoming a frequent occurrence throughout the United States as the cost of in-demand materials continues to rise and shortages continue. Those who see themselves making easy money from a bit of scrap metal or copper are drawn to more sites and taking off with thousands of dollars worth.
Not only does this cost construction companies money, but it also delays your projects by varying amounts of time. In an article, posted on Deseret.com, a project manager with a construction company described a recent burglary and the effect it has had on their project.

“When the material gets stolen off our site, it increases our procurement costs, and it especially affects our schedules. Our employees aren’t able to do their work, and it makes it hard to do a job within a time frame. It has a trickle-down effect for the whole team,’ said Austin Hunsaker, risk and safety manager with Okland Construction.”

The effect doesn’t stop at the construction site, either.

“Stolen tools and materials have contributed to a rising cost in development – creating project delays, pushing up premiums for risk insurance and increasing outlays for site security – all of which gets passed on to the consumer,”

the article stated.

While lack of evidence is an issue when it comes to these construction site burglaries, it is important to have some level of surveillance on site for added peace of mind and the chance of identifying possible thieves.

While security cameras do not always deter theft, having eyes on your valuable materials and equipment is always a good idea. J Bar’s solar-powered security trailers can help crack down on this growing problem – or help you avoid it altogether.

Our solar-powered security trailers are easy to set up, connect to many different networks, and among many other features, offer real-time notifications and high-quality video through the client portal. Along with real-time surveillance, users have the ability to go back in time and check out a continual stream of footage and export clips from the video to their computers or phones.

Construction site theft is a frustrating occurrence and adds to the already stressful situation our country finds itself in with limited availability and shortages of materials.

For more information on steps, you can take to combat this issue, give us a call at 830-598-JBAR, and let one of our representatives outline the benefits of our solar security trailers!

My name is Savanna Gregg, and I have been blessed with the task of writing blog posts for J Bar! I’ve grown my love for writing since I was a kid, inspired by my grandpa and great-grandma, and encouraged by my family to follow this passion wherever it leads me. I found a love for journalism in high school and participated in UIL competitions throughout that time. I was able to expand that experience into a career, working for the Burnet Bulletin Newspaper for just over two years before finding a new opportunity here at J Bar. I’ve always loved spreading the news to my community through social media, and am so glad to have been given the opportunity to continue that while providing services for our customers at the same time. I hope you enjoy learning more about our company!
