Power station upgrades its security with OPTEX SL beams

As critical infrastructure facilities continue to recognize the importance of robust security measures, a major power station embarked on a project to upgrade its perimeter security.

The power station, with multiple electrical distribution substations across the state of Maharashtra, India, faced several primary security concerns. Controlling unauthorised access was a significant challenge due to the multiple entry and exit points. The vast expanse of the property made it vulnerable to theft of valuable scrap materials, particularly during off-peak hours. Additionally, it was crucial to prevent unauthorised individuals from entering areas with high-tension electrical equipment and lines to avoid potential health hazards.

The power station faced several environmental challenges which also needed to be addressed by the selected solution, including intense sunlight in a harsh, sunny environment, strong winds, and heavy electrical interference.

The power station's decision to upgrade its perimeter security with the OPTEX SL-650QDP has proven highly effective. The integration of advanced infrared beam technology has fortified the perimeter and ensured the safety of both assets and individuals.
