Security Systems

Utility Companies & Power Plants

Securing utility companies and power plants is crucial critical to safeguarding essential services and personnel. NewVision Security provides comprehensive solutions to protect critical infrastructure, prevent unauthorized access, and enhance operational efficiency, ensuring your facilities remain secure and resilient.

Benefits of Security Systems for Utility Companies
Video surveillance systems are essential for enhancing the physical security of substations and power plants, providing early warning capabilities for various events, including equipment failure and criminal activities. When integrated with access control systems, these security solutions enable quick detection of incidents, prevention of crime, protection of mission-critical equipment, and gathering of valuable operational insights. The benefits of upgrading IP surveillance and access control systems for utility companies include increased workplace productivity, reduced claims and liability, compliance with industry regulations, visual deterrent against trespassing, theft, and vandalism, remote monitoring capabilities, improved operational efficiency, enhanced incident reporting, automatic equipment monitoring and alerts, asset management, substation automation, motion detection, event triggers, perimeter violation alerts, and more.
Why Do Utility Companies Need Security Systems?
Utility companies face various security threats, including physical security risks, vandalism, theft, time loss incidents, unplanned maintenance, equipment damage, personnel issues, acts of terrorism, and disruptions to the supply of essential services. With high stakes involved in maintaining a steady supply of electricity, water, and gas, utility companies rely on modern security technologies to protect their people, equipment, and critical infrastructure.

CASE STUDY: Capital Electric Cooperative | 8-Year Partnership

Capital Electric Cooperative was moving into a new 23,227 SF headquarters on a 12-acre lot, a massive upgrade from their previous building. With that much more space to cover, both inside and out, their old approach to facility access wasn’t going to cut it. People could walk in and out freely, and employees had no way of knowing who was in the building.

We analyzed the building and surrounding property, then designed a full security and access control system built specifically for their layout. The setup started with key card and fob entry, and later expanded to include mobile app access. Every door, every entry point, covered from day one.

“We’ve never once stepped back and said we should have made a different choice. Without hesitation, we would recommend NewVision to anyone that needs security.” -Wes Engbrecht, Manager of Communications and IT

The system works because it was designed around their facility, not pulled off a shelf. When something comes up, our 24/7 service team is on it. Eight years in, the system still covers everything Capital Electric needs as their operation continues to grow.
