Comprehensive security tailored for utility providers

We deliver comprehensive, cutting-edge solar security solutions tailored to each solar farm site’s unique needs. Our specialised approach leverages intelligent surveillance with video confirmation to constantly monitor assets. We also utilise SmartWater forensic marking on high-value items like solar panels or copper wiring. This allows traceability and proves ownership if any equipment is stolen and subsequently recovered by police. SmartWater is the most feared forensic marker among the criminal fraternity and has a 100% conviction rate in contested court cases.

  • Site risk assessments free of charge.
  • Visually verified video alarm systems – 100% incident verification. 
  • Crime Intelligence reporting for crime trend insights.
  • Regular site security reviews should your risk change.
  • Security signage – deters > 80% of potential intruders.
  • Forensic asset marking for evidence and traceability.

Utility Risk Management

Critical infrastructure sites are most exposed in:

  • 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.

Critical infrastructure is most at risk when:

  • Sites shut and valuable equipment is left unattended.
  • Fencing or entrance points are in disrepair or damaged.
  • When sites are unmanned and unguarded
  • Valuable materials are left accessible on sites.
