Critical National Infrastructure
West Hallington Reservoir (a Northumbrian Water Group Site)
Solar CCTV Towers
ASEL implemented cutting-edge Solar CCTV Towers strategically positioned across the West Hallington Reservoir site. These towers, equipped with high-resolution cameras, provided 24/7 surveillance coverage, even in remote or offgrid locations. The solar-powered feature ensured uninterrupted operation, reducing the environmental impact and operational costs.
Full CCTV with Battery Packs
A comprehensive Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) system was deployed to monitor key areas. Battery packs were integrated into the system to maintain functionality during power outages, ensuring continuous surveillance without compromising security. This setup allowed for seamless monitoring and recording of activities across the reservoir.
Solar Timelapse Cameras with Monthly Edited Videos
ASEL installed Solar Timelapse Cameras to capture the progression of the project over time. These cameras not only provided an additional layer of security, but also documented the construction and operational phases. Monthly edited videos were generated, offering a concise overview of the reservoir’s development for project management and reporting purposes.
ASEL covered the entire spectrum of the project, from initial enabling and ground works to the solar compound’s installation.
The scope included:
The security equipment installation project at J.N. Bentley’s West Hallington Reservoir has successfully run for over one year, showcasing the reliability and longevity of the implemented solutions.
The commitment to enhanced safety at West Hallington Reservoir has seen a substantial £6 million investment in safety measures. This investment not only fortifies the reservoir against potential security threats, but also addresses the critical issue of flood protection for the local community. The implementation of these safety measures allows for the quicker and secure release of water when necessary, mitigating the risk of flooding and safeguarding the surrounding areas.
J.N. Bentley, a leading reservoir management company, engaged ASEL to enhance security measures at their West Hallington Reservoir site. The project aimed to fortify the premises against unauthorised access, theft and vandalism, while ensuring continuous surveillance and monitoring. ASEL was entrusted with the supply and installation of advanced security equipment to safeguard the reservoir’s assets and infrastructure.
1. Enhanced Security
The implemented security equipment significantly improved surveillance capabilities, deterring unauthorised access and mitigating security threats.
2. Reliability and Sustainability
Solar-powered solutions ensured continuous operation, reducing reliance on external power sources and minimising the project’s environmental impact.
3. Documentation and Reporting
Monthly edited timelapse videos provided an insightful overview of the project’s progression, aiding in project management, reporting and decision-making.
4. Comprehensive Coverage
The CCTV system, coupled with Solar CCTV Towers, covered all critical areas, enhancing the overall security posture of the West Hallington Reservoir.
5. Resilient Infrastructure
The self-contained solar bastions, generator and battery pack system ensured the resilience and functionality of the security equipment even in challenging conditions.
ASEL’s successful implementation of state-of-the-art security equipment at J.N. Bentley’s West Hallington Reservoir has not only fortified the site against potential threats, but also showcased the company’s commitment to reliability, sustainability and comprehensive project coverage. The project’s success stands as a testament to the effectiveness of ASEL’s integrated security solutions.
