The complete construction access control system. Turnstiles, booths, gate arms, cameras, and trained officers, all reading one badge, so only cleared workers get through and nobody stands waiting at the gate.

Manual sign-in sheets and clipboard checks put every trade in the same queue at 6am. Credentials get eyeballed instead of verified, visitors and deliveries pile up behind the crew, and there is no record afterward that stands up to an insurance or compliance review. Our guide to construction site access control covers the category in more depth.
Access control systems on a jobsite are rarely one piece of hardware. Deploy what the site needs now and add to it as the project changes phase.
Qualified, construction-trained personnel deployed on demand. Guard services, fire watch, parking, badging, access control, and visitor and delivery logs, scheduled for when and where you need them.

Construction turnstiles built as a durable, fully integrated system, designed to maximize construction site safety, security, and productivity.

A command post with professional presence and high visibility, giving officers a place to manage your workforce, deliveries, and visitors alongside the turnstile or gate arm that controls entry.

Beyond running the gate, every day 2,000+ Sitemetric field personnel deliver crucial services and data across the United States. It is a different job from a traditional security guard, and the difference shows up in your data.
| Sitemetric Access Control Officer | Traditional security guard | |
|---|---|---|
| Primary focus | Workforce identity verification and data-driven site access | Observation and deterrence of threats |
| Technology | Operates digital badging, turnstiles, and time-tracking systems | Limited to manual checks and incident reporting |
| Data and reporting | Real-time workforce analytics and compliance dashboards | Manual logs, limited data visibility |
| Compliance | Assists with PPE inspection, insurance, and client access requirements | Typically focused on physical security policies |
Answers on turnstiles, booths, officers, and how badging works at the gate.
The details vary by project, but a complete access control system could include integrated turnstiles, access control booths, gate arms, and trained access control officers. Contact Sitemetric to learn more about appropriate access control solutions for your jobsite.
Timelines depend on the site and on the mix of equipment and personnel involved. Turnstiles and booths are plug-and-play, so they can be placed without a crane or a concrete pad, and personnel can be scheduled around your start date. Contact Sitemetric for timing on your project.
Workers register digitally and their certifications are held in one place, with alerting as expirations approach. Registration carries across projects, so a worker already cleared on one site does not start over on the next. Our guides to construction site badging and safety credentialing cover the process in more detail.
They run on 110 VAC and need no anchor bolts, no electrician, and no permanent infrastructure. An integrated UPS switches over automatically if power drops, keeping the unit locked and monitored for up to two hours. Forklift pockets in the diamond plate base are what make them practical to relocate as the site changes phase.
It can. A worker's badge is capable of working across your jobsites and projects, whether or not a given gate has a turnstile.
An access control officer verifies workforce identity and operates the badging and time-tracking systems, producing real-time data. A traditional guard focuses on observation and deterrence with manual logs.
Yes, and most sites run a combination. The turnstile or gate arm is what controls and records entry, the booth gives officers a staffed post to manage workers, deliveries, and visitors, and cameras cover the perimeter. Officers operate the same platform throughout, so the access record stays in one place regardless of the mix.
Yes. Sitemetric supports data center, energy, and public infrastructure projects where the requirement goes beyond workforce data to the physical security of the site itself. Our public infrastructure case study covers one such build.
