There’s a whole world under the UK’s hatches. They are the entrance to our water supply, power sources and the means of our communication, to name a few. This makes ground hatches at high risk from terrorism and other destructive activity that could be catastrophic to the population. Hatch security is therefore vital for the protection of critical infrastructure for sites and organisations within the utility sector.
SecureHatch is an innovative, reliable and high-integrity hatch detection system developed by SecuriPlex (part of the BusinessWatch Group) and in partnership with Yorkshire Water Services. Primarily developed to protect against attacks on water treatment and storage facilities, SecureHatch is now used across the utility sector and by leading companies across their sites.
SecureHatch can be used as part of an integrated or standalone system and provides high-level security and 24/7 monitoring of hatches, with the advanced capabilities of distinguishing physical attacks from false alarms caused by atmospheric conditions.
