Theft | Vandalism/Arson | Employees | Increasing Costs & Legislation
In 2023, the Head of UK Serious Organised Acquisitive Crime reported a 48% rise in cabling and solar panel theft from solar sites between 2021 and 2022.
Risk Mitigation
Utilities and infrastructure providers can adapt and maximise their security on a temporary basis to combat any planned or unexpected disruptions to their services. VPS can quickly deploy a variety of affordable solutions and work with customers to advise on flexible solutions at every stage of the project journey.
Expensive machinery and materials are used in utilities and infrastructure sites that can be subject to criminals looking to make money from high resale valued assets.
Activists and political terrorists can target utilities and infrastructure to disrupt supply and cause logistical issues.
Working in potentially hazardous environments, a customer’s employees need to be well protected against security threats as well as injury or fatality from incidents on site.
The ever-changing economy and increased environmental awareness is putting pressure on utilities and infrastructure providers to cut costs and keep a keen eye on budgets.
A variety of state-of-the-art monitoring technology including CCTV Towers, Safer Pod S1 and more can be used on sites to give 24-hour, control centre supported site surveillance. Fire and water alarms can also be used to trigger an urgent response to any incidents or threats.
Manned guarding can be employed to ensure a physical presence at a site to act as both a deterrent and proactive security checks.
Perimeter protection such as fencing, barriers and access controls can be implemented to deter and deny entry to a plant or facility.
