Securing 100 Kensington Through a Critical Project Transition
Construction & Development | Kensington, London W14
Servis Group provided professional 100 Kensington construction site security during a critical period of transition for the development. When a major construction project suddenly enters a period of uncertainty, security cannot be allowed to become another problem.
At 100 Kensington, a £500 million residential development on West Cromwell Road, the project's main contractor entered administration, resulting in a temporary pause to construction and creating an immediate requirement for professional construction site security in Kensington.
With the site facing a significant transition, the client turned to Servis Group to take control of the security operation and provide an immediate response.
Servis mobilised at short notice, establishing a dedicated manned guarding, K9 security, access control and perimeter security operation within the same day.
The priority was clear: close the security gap, secure the site and give the client confidence that the development remained protected throughout the transition.
When the Project Changed, Servis Responded
The administration of the main contractor created an unexpected situation across a major live construction development.
With valuable plant, materials, equipment and infrastructure remaining on site, maintaining security continuity was critical. Contractors and personnel were changing, access arrangements were evolving and a new delivery structure was being established.
The client needed a construction security partner in London capable of responding quickly and establishing control.
Servis stepped in and our team established a dedicated security presence across 100 Kensington, combining SIA-licensed security officers and NASDU-accredited K9 units.
Construction Site Security at 100 Kensington
The operation went far beyond simply guarding an entrance.
Servis provided a coordinated construction site security operation covering access control, visitor and contractor management, delivery monitoring, site boundaries and perimeter security.
Our officers maintained a visible security presence across the development, helping protect people, plant and materials while controlling movement onto and around the site.
NASDU-accredited K9 security units provided an additional layer of perimeter deterrence alongside the manned guarding operation.
Maintaining Security During the Contractor Transition
As 100 Kensington moved through the contractor transition, Servis maintained a consistent security operation across the development.
Site personnel, contractors, access arrangements and working areas could change, but the requirement to protect the site did not.
Servis continued to support access control, perimeter security, visitor and contractor management, delivery monitoring and site monitoring, maintaining a professional presence while the project's operational arrangements evolved.
This continuity meant the client had a security team in place throughout a challenging period, rather than having to deal with security as another uncertainty during the transition.
The Result
When circumstances at 100 Kensington changed unexpectedly, Servis was ready to respond.
Our rapid mobilisation established a professional security operation within the same week, providing continuity and control during a significant period of change.
By combining manned guarding, K9 security, access control and perimeter monitoring, Servis provided a security operation designed around the realities of a major London construction development.
The project demonstrates what Servis brings to construction security: rapid mobilisation, professional guarding, strong site control and the ability to respond when circumstances change without warning.
