Better Security for Mining and Aggregate Operations

Mining, quarries and aggregate operations face a broad array of security challenges including threats and liabilities related to perimeter intrusion, illegal mining, and mineral and equipment theft, as well as concerns for protecting worker safety. Each of these challenges have specific nuances that demand specific industry knowledge and expertise to resolve.

Common Challenges

  • Perimeters are a challenge since fencing is often impractical due to site sizes and their landscape. Fencing and other physical perimeter protection obstacles can also easily be circumvented.
  • Illegal mining is hard to prevent throughout all tunnels and remote locations.
  • Mining and aggregate vehicles and equipment are expensive assets, and the downtime to replace and repair them is very costly.
  • Securing assets and valuable and hazardous materials is challenging due to their movement throughout the site.
  • Guards are expensive, can’t have eyes and ears everywhere, and are subject to everyday distractions.
  • Mining and aggregate worker safety and security are critical!

Video surveillance cameras can help in providing wide area situational awareness, but they don’t prevent crime – they only document it – but only if they’re operational and properly placed at the time of the incident.
