Pipelines Protection
Pipeline infrastructure plays a critical role in the transportation of energy resources across Europe and globally. Unfortunately, this vital infrastructure is under constant threat from theft and vandalism, which causes significant economic and environmental damage. Let's explore here the current situation in Europe, particularly, and discuss the importance of implementing effective protecting solutions to safeguard pipeline infrastructure.
According to a recent report by the European Network for the Security of Critical Infrastructures (ENCS), there were over 300 incidents of pipeline theft and vandalism in Europe between 2017 and 2020, resulting in the loss of millions of euros. The report indicates that the majority of these incidents occurred in the UK, Italy, and Germany.
It is also highlighted that the most commonly stolen items include copper cables, batteries, and other electrical components. These components are often stolen for their scrap value, causing significant damage to the pipeline and disrupting energy supplies. All the while, the quality of life in Europe is largely measured by the constant access to all vital and basic services in the country, accessible to almost the entire population and across the entire territory.
It is for that reason that countries cannot afford any of the damages that come along with pipeline incidents. However, there are ways to stay a few steps ahead of vandals in this field. Efficient PIDS is a proactive measure that can help mitigate these risks, by detecting any unauthorized access to pipeline infrastructure, and providing early warning to security personnel for faster and more efficient responsiveness.

D-Fence originates in a sensitive part of the globe, the Middle East. In which natural resources are scarce and every drop of every resource counts. It is like this, and with extensive experience in similar areas across the world (such as Latin America), that solid solutions were developed for high end protection. When capital is invested once into solid protection, capital losses later just won't be part of your worries. Contrarily from all other solutions in the market, D-Fence's innovative technology is based on pressure sensing, which is capable of constantly re-adjusting to what happens on the field in order to accurately capture potential theft, generating zero false alarms in it. For National Assets, a multiple layer security system is required to tackle every angle of possible threats, starting with D-Bolt and D-Drone.
Governments and private companies suffer from this problem on a daily basis. Why not stop giving the hand to thieves?
