Energex Secures Substations with Intrepid Micropoint II

Energex, Queensland’s electricity distributor, needed a reliable perimeter security solution for its substations. Partnering with Perimeter Systems Australia, they deployed the Intrepid Micropoint II fence detection system for advanced intrusion detection.

Challenge: Traditional security measures like CCTV and patrols were insufficient for real-time threat detection. Energex required a system that could provide instant alerts, filter out false alarms, integrate seamlessly, and scale across multiple sites.

Solution: The Intrepid Micropoint II system was chosen for its:

• Precision Detection: Locates intrusions within 1 meter.

• Environmental Adaptability: Reduces false alarms from weather and wildlife.

• Seamless Integration: Works with existing security infrastructure.

• Scalability: Deployed across multiple substations.

Implementation: Installed in phases with minimal disruption, the system was tailored to each substation’s needs. Perimeter Systems Australia provided training, support, and ongoing maintenance.

Results: Energex has seen improved security with real-time alerts, reduced false alarms, and increased operational efficiency. The scalable system ensures long-term protection for critical infrastructure.

Conclusion: By partnering with Perimeter Systems Australia and implementing the Intrepid Micropoint II fence detection system, Energex has fortified its substations against unauthorized access and potential threats. This collaboration has demonstrated the effectiveness of advanced perimeter security technology in protecting critical infrastructure, ensuring continued reliability and safety in power distribution across Queensland.
