Copper spool losses hit $50k in a single week on some Halifax builds. Here is how we reduce it to zero.
Copper commodity prices have driven a wave of construction-site theft across HRM. Electrical spools, HVAC coils, and unattended plumbing stock are the primary targets. Losses of $30–50k in a single overnight are not unusual on a mid-rise build.
Our approach layers deterrence, detection, and response. Deterrence includes visible lighting, floodlight towers, and marked patrol vehicles. Detection includes CCTV with human-verified alerts. Response includes standing officers overnight and mobile-patrol callouts on alarm activation.
We coordinate with your general contractor's site super to align patrol times with materials-delivery schedules — the moment fresh copper hits the lay-down yard is the moment risk peaks.
The single most cost-effective intervention we offer is a hybrid model: standing officer 6 p.m. to 6 a.m., mobile patrol during daylight hours. Most sites see zero copper losses within two weeks of program launch.
