With metals stored in power equipment such as solar panels and substations, protecting generation sites is important to ensure the security of energy supply to the national grid and impeding illegal scrap or resale operations.
Deterring any would-be trespassers and thieves with appropriate security installations, and ensuring those installations are robust enough to delay attempts of attack, will help protect solar generation sites & businesses in the long term.
Gates & Fences
Visible CCTV and security patrols can also provide an immediate deterrent to those who would rather not take the risk. On remote sites however this may not always be an option, requiring more engineered products such as high security gates, fences, and barriers that will prevent both vehicular and pedestrian trespass.
Typical Surelock McGill solutions include both single-point and multi-point locking mechanisms, for various levels of security, on both external swing and sliding gate security applications. Access control functionality is available throughout most ranges, compatible with most access control systems providing the operational choices for both local and remote access of specific gate opening.

Modular Buildings & Control Rooms
Modular buildings can provide a safe location for control rooms and the housing of valuable equipment including batteries, switchgear, and more. These enclosures may require acoustic or anti-flood properties, as well as resistance to forced entry. Securing units with high-performance locking systems will prevent easy access to these critical assets and ensure effective operation of generation sites.
Surelock McGill solutions have been designed to provide all levels of security protection and operation, considering essential requirements of controlled entry and life safety egress. Where required, designs also cater for ballistic, blast, as well as the needs of safety when releasing doors in pressurised environments, all built into a single product.
Specialist locking solutions have also been designed for doorsets providing not only security but fire resistance. These locking systems have also been designed to ensure complete air-tight sealing of the doors where specialist fire extinguishing gases are used to instantly remove any risk of fire and prevent/reduce the potential for devastating effects on the electricity supply and service to the customers.
High security louvre systems provide the answer to the hardening of HVAC systems, where essential ventilation is required. These louvre systems can be constructed as part of a door system or indeed installed within the building fabric.
