Utility networks are the vital lifelines that keep communities connected and functioning in today’s fast moving world. Any service outage risks disrupting lives and businesses across entire regions.
Utility Risk Management
It is important to manage risk where critical infrastructure is most exposed:
- Remote cable routes with minimal surveillance
- Temporary worksites during system expansions
- Ageing assets reaching end-of-life
- High profile enabling works at risk from activists
Utility networks span vast distances, with treatment plants, operational hubs and substations in remote locations. Critical components like cables often run through rural zones and equipment including transformers and junction boxes can be left unattended for long periods of time.
When is critical infrastructure most at risk?
- During maintenance activity when valuable equipment can be left unattended.
- When fencing or entrance points are in disrepair or damaged.
- When thieves can spend long periods of time uninterrupted on site.
- Where valuable materials are used in repair or construction projects.
