Wind farms are generally located in unmanned rural locations and, by nature, are vulnerable to security breaches. The use of materials such as copper for power transmission and to connect wind turbines is attractive to thieves and requires security to be put in place to ensure the continuity of power supply.
Surveillance cameras and intruder alarms can form part of the security plan, but given the long response times of emergency services, a robust physical security solution is essential to block and delay intruders.
Preventing trespassers from accessing the wind turbines and associated buildings can help protect them and ensure the continued delivery of electricity. It also protects the site owner from any claims of injury from unauthorised intruders.
Surelock McGill’s high-performance solutions are designed to provide enhanced security protection and reliable operation while considering requirements such as controlled entry, life safety egress, and fire containment.
Our fire containment locking systems are built to ensure complete air-tight sealing of doors when fire extinguishing gases are used to put out fires, reducing the potential for the electricity supply to be disrupted.
In addition, our high-security louvre systems support building hardening, where ventilation is required. These louvre systems can be incorporated into a door system or installed within the building fabric.
