Protecting critical infrastructure

CLIENT: High Security Utilities
PROJECT TYPE: Mutli-layered security system

About this Project

These high-end government utilities approached HRC security for advice and ideas to secure two high-risk critical infrastructure sites. The sites already had a basic perimeter system in place however, due to a change in site usage the client had to substantially increase the level of security. The client now needed a mutli-layed security approach to protect their site.

HRC implemented a system involving multiple technologies and layers of security.

The components delivered by our team included:

A 2.4m high Securemax 358 anti-climb mesh fence, as a substantial visual and solid barrier,
Gallagher Z20 Vibration detection to detect any cutting of the mesh,
Gallagher 7 wire Z10 Taut wire system above the fence, as a detection device for climbing,
We also enhanced the Taut wire system with the Gallagher Pulse alarmed electric fence. This ensured that there was inbuilt redundancy in case of a system failure.
Each of the electric fencing and vibration zones on the perimeter is also monitored with CCTV which automatically reports back to the control room upon activation.

The client now has a high level of confidence that their critical infrastructure asset is fully protected to the highest level of security.
