Water & Sewage (Utilities)
Water and sewage infrastructure is critical societal infrastructure subject to strict requirements for security, access management and traceability. Sites are geographically dispersed, often unmanned and vulnerable to sabotage, vandalism and unauthorised access. Solid Sikring designs and installs security systems where CCTV, access control, iLOQ digital locks and intruder alarm work as one – adapted to the utility sector's particular demands for operational reliability and documentation.
Security challenges in water and sewage utilities
Utility sites are spread across large geographic areas, are typically unmanned and represent critical infrastructure. This creates particular demands on security design.
Unmanned and remote sites
Pumping stations, reservoirs and chambers are rarely staffed. Unauthorised access goes undetected without technical monitoring. Remote access and automatic alerting are essential for rapid incident response.
Key management and uncontrolled access
Utility sites have many maintenance technicians, subcontractors and inspectors requiring access. Physical keys are lost, copied and difficult to trace. Without a digital system it is impossible to document who has been on site and when.
Sabotage and vandalism of critical infrastructure
Water and sewage infrastructure is a target for sabotage and vandalism. Damage to pumps, valves or control systems can have serious consequences for water supply and public health. Early warning and documentation are critical.
Regulatory requirements
Waterworks and utility facilities are subject to requirements for critical infrastructure security. Access control with audit logs and CCTV are central compliance requirements.
Harsh operating conditions
Utility sites are exposed to moisture, frost, dust and corrosive environments. Equipment not specified for industrial use fails quickly. We select equipment tested for operational reliability in demanding surroundings.
Technical security solutions for water and sewage utilities
We design and install complete security systems for utility infrastructure – from simple pumping stations to larger water treatment plants and sewage works. Systems are integrated to give the site manager full oversight.
iLOQ digital lock system
iLOQ is battery-free and maintenance-free – ideal for utility sites where physical keys are a security risk. Grant and revoke access centrally. Full traceable log of who opened what and when. Works without power or network connectivity at the lock itself – perfect for unmanned stations.
Access control with zone-based management
Differentiate access by site, zone, role and time period. Own staff, subcontractors and inspectors are managed centrally. Automatic access logs provide documentation without manual registration – ready for regulatory requirements and audits.
CCTV for site monitoring
IP cameras specified for outdoor industrial use: moisture, frost and corrosive environments. Remote access via mobile or PC gives the site manager real-time insight without travelling to site. Motion detection with automatic alerting on unauthorised access.
Intruder alarm with remote monitoring
Intruder alarm in technical buildings and chamber enclosures with automatic remote notification to the site manager. Integrates with access control so that authorised entry automatically deactivates the alarm. Reduces false callouts and ensures rapid response to real incidents.
Perimeter security and fence monitoring
Camera-based perimeter security with motion detection and automatic alerting for larger sites such as water treatment plants and sewage works. Early warning of intrusion attempts before damage occurs.
Integrated security platform
As a systems integrator we bring together access control, iLOQ, CCTV and alarm so that they communicate and give the site manager a single consolidated overview – whether they are in the office or in the field.
Securing unmanned sites – from pumping station to waterworks
Solid Sikring designs and installs technical security systems adapted to the utility sector's particular requirements: geographically dispersed sites, unmanned operation, traceability requirements and regulatory demands for critical infrastructure security. We deliver across Norway.
Survey of sites and access requirements
We review the asset base, map access points, zones and existing infrastructure – and produce a technical proposal matched to the number of sites and operational patterns.
System selection and design
We dimension iLOQ, access control, CCTV and alarm to the size, number of users and regulatory requirements. Equipment is specified for operational reliability in utility environments.
Installation and integration
Cabling, mounting and configuration are carried out in coordination with the operational schedule. Systems are integrated and tested as a single platform.
Training, documentation and service
We deliver complete documentation and train the site manager. A service agreement with defined response times ensures the installation remains operational.
