There are hundreds of thousands of external assets deployed by critical infrastructure utilities such as water pumps, filtering stations, power grid transformers, telecommunications and mobile-phone masts. These assets need both securing from common threats of vandalism, theft, sabotage and terrorist attack, and they often need monitoring remotely (and often control) to ensure their performance, the environment, electrical stability and security is maintained.
Often remote workers during construction, security projects, operations and medical centres need suitable secure housing. The Red Cross, for example, face high-risks when working in deserted locations from theft of urgent medical supplies, and even not having suitable conditions to enable treatment and recovery.
The new Rapid Asset Protection System (RAPS) offers specialist modular pre-fabricated security housing constructed out of galvanised metal to ISO1461 1999. It is quick to deploy and needs minimal civil works for a permanent or even temporary deployment.
External assets are easily secured by the Westminster RAPS solution by deploying the security housing over the asset or to the side of the asset.
Unique benefits to the RAPS solution include negating necessary planning permission due to its size as being 3m x 3m x 2.5m; Very low-cost compared to physical buildings, maintenance and planning required and exceptionally modular depending on your asset protection and monitoring needs.
