Mining & Mineral Industry
Mining and mineral extraction demands high security standards: large and challenging outdoor areas, high-value raw materials, multiple contractors, remote locations and strict requirements for traceability and documentation. As a systems integrator, Solid Sikring brings together CCTV, access control, alarm and digital lock systems that work as one – ensuring security coverage across the entire site, not just isolated points. We deliver across Norway and can adapt solutions for projects where Norwegian and international standards intersect.
Security challenges in mining and mineral extraction
Mine sites and mineral facilities are demanding security environments with large areas, high-value raw materials, fluctuating workforce and often remote locations. Security needs are multifaceted – and require solutions that work together.
Large and complex outdoor areas
Mine and mineral sites cover vast areas with access roads, stockpiles, processing facilities and a perimeter that is difficult to monitor manually. Without CCTV and perimeter security, detecting unauthorised access early enough is nearly impossible.
High-value raw materials and equipment
Minerals, ore and specialised mining equipment represent significant value and are attractive targets for theft. Critical minerals and rare earth elements carry additional strategic value that raises the security stakes further.
Multiple contractors and fluctuating workforce
Mining projects involve many subcontractors, consultants and suppliers with changing presence on site. Controlling who has access to which zones – and at what times – is demanding without a digital access management system.
Remote locations and limited on-site staffing
Many mineral projects are situated in remote areas with limited security personnel and long response times. Automated monitoring, early warning and remote system access are therefore critical for rapid incident management.
Traceability and documentation requirements
Licence conditions, HSE regulations and insurance requirements expect access events and incidents to be logged and documentable. Manual systems are error-prone and difficult to audit.
Harsh operating environment and demanding climate
Dust, moisture, frost and mechanical stress place high demands on the robustness of all security equipment. Standard off-the-shelf hardware does not hold up in mine environments – we specify equipment tested for industrial conditions.
Technical security solutions for mining and mineral industry
Solid Sikring designs and installs complete security systems where the individual components are integrated and function as a single platform. We cover everything from perimeter security and CCTV to access control, iLOQ digital locks and intruder alarm – scaled to the size and complexity of each site.
CCTV coverage across the entire site
Robust IP cameras for outdoor use in industrial environments: dust, frost and mechanical impact. Coverage of perimeter, access roads, stockpiles, processing facilities and entry points. PTZ cameras for dynamic oversight of large areas. Remote access and alerts ensure rapid incident response – even from a distance.
Access control with zone-based management
Differentiate access by zone, role and time period: own employees, subcontractors, suppliers and visitors. Automatic access logs provide traceability without manual registration. The system scales from simple installations to large, multi-zone deployments.
iLOQ digital lock system
iLOQ is battery-free and maintenance-free – ideal for mines and mineral sites where physical key management is a security risk. Grant and revoke access centrally. Full traceable log of who opened what and when. Performs reliably in demanding climates and rough industrial environments.
Perimeter security and fence monitoring
Camera-based perimeter security with motion detection and automatic alerting on unauthorised access. Thermal cameras and radar-triggered surveillance for early warning in low light and darkness. Integrated with intruder alarm for automatic response.
Intruder alarm with remote notification
Intruder alarm in buildings, site cabins, warehouses and processing facilities with automatic scheduling and remote notification to the responsible person. The system integrates with access control so that authorised entry automatically deactivates the alarm in the relevant area.
Security cabins and secure storage rooms
For mineral projects with valuable raw materials we offer security cabins and secure rooms with FG-approved locks, steel construction and technical security measures. B3-rated cabins provide the highest level of physical security per insurance industry requirements – directly transferable from the construction sector.
Integrated security platform
As a systems integrator we bring together CCTV, access control, alarm and locks that communicate with each other. One log, one platform and one interface for the site manager – whether they are on site, in the office or following the project from abroad.
Security that works together – from perimeter to raw material storage
Solid Sikring designs and installs complete security systems where CCTV, access control, intruder alarm and digital locks are integrated into a single platform. We deliver across Norway and have experience with complex projects where multiple contractors, large areas and demanding operating conditions place high demands on system selection and installation quality.
Survey and risk assessment
We review the site, map zones, access points, storage locations and existing infrastructure – and produce a concrete technical proposal matched to the project's phase and ambition level.
Design and system selection
We dimension CCTV, access control, iLOQ, perimeter and alarm to the site's size, number of contractors and traceability requirements. We recommend equipment tested for industrial conditions.
Installation and integration
Cabling, mounting and configuration are carried out in coordination with the project schedule. Systems are integrated and tested as a single platform.
Training, documentation and service
We deliver complete technical documentation and train the site manager. A service agreement with defined response times ensures the system remains operational.
