It is therefore better and cheaper to prevent and deter trespassers from loitering, dumping waste or carrying out acts of trespass on the site.

NigeriaReal Estate and Construction

It is common for persons living within a construction site ("the site") to trespass upon and dump domestic, industrial and toxic refuse and waste on the site. This usually led to a depreciation of the land. In most cases, the construction Company ("the Company") would incur huge financial cost in removing the waste and restoring the land to its original natural topography. It is therefore better and cheaper to prevent and deter trespassers from loitering, dumping waste or carrying out acts of trespass on the site. In order to achieve this, the Company should;

  1. Place a "No Trespassing" sign at entrances to the property and every 200 yards around the boundary of the property.
  2. Instruct its employees on how to respond if an unauthorized person is discovered on the site.
