Access Control

Construction Access control that keeps the work moving.

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.

The gate problem

A slow gate is a schedule problem, not just a security issue.

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.

Without integrated access control

  • Credentials checked by eye
  • Gate congestion at shift change
  • Manual logs with limited data visibility
  • No reliable record of who was onsite, when, and for how long

THE PROACTIVE MODEL, WITH SITEMETRIC

  • Automated credential validation
  • Instant data capture at the point of entry
  • Reduced bottlenecks at site gates
  • An audit trail behind every entry
  • Badges that open the gate only while certifications are current
What we deploy

Purpose-built for construction. Battle-tested and integrated.

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.

Onsite Personnel

Access control personnel who actively manage your site security.

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.

  • Deploy personnel onsite fast
  • Comprehensive access documentation captured as data, not paper
  • Officers handle worker registration and badging at the gate, so credentials are verified before anyone is cleared
  • Coverage that evolves with your project needs

Integrated Turnstiles

Badge-integrated turnstiles that keep the gate moving.

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

  • 110V and a forklift. No crane, no concrete pad
  • Modular, portable, connectable as the site changes phase
  • Sitemetric technicians handle installation, expansion, and maintenance
  • Badges work across all your jobsites, turnstile or not

Access Control Booth

Access control booths that give your gate a staffed command post.

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.

  • Sets the right impression at the gate
  • Rugged and plug-and-play, so it drops in anywhere on site
  • Easy to relocate across construction phases
  • Single- and double-operator layouts, climate controlled, with integrated forklift pockets

The Access Control Advantage

The largest field support network for America's mission-critical builds.

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.

Construction access control FAQs

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.
