Securing a national substation cluster against metal theft
A cluster of unmanned high-voltage substations suffering repeated copper theft was secured with Electro-Fence™ and remote Multisys® monitoring.
The Challenge
A regional transmission operator was losing six figures annually to copper theft and intrusion across a cluster of unmanned high-voltage substations, with each breach risking prolonged outages and serious safety incidents.
The Solution
APS retrofitted Electro-Fence™ to the existing perimeters as a non-lethal active deterrent, backed by zoned alarm reporting into a central Multisys® control room for instant, remote situational awareness.
The Result
Intrusions across the protected cluster fell to near zero within the first year, eliminating theft-related outages and dramatically reducing the cost and risk of emergency call-outs.
