Perimeter Security for Mining Operations and Materials Processing

Mining operations and materials processing sites contain valuable assets ranging from minerals to machinery. They also tend to have large, rugged, and remote perimeters that are uniquely vulnerable to criminal intruders. Protecting against these threats is critical to operational continuity, employee safety, and financial stability. Secure your site from intrusion and theft with reliable layered security solutions from AMAROK.

Why Mines Need Perimeter Security

Mining operations and materials processing facilities have complex security needs. These sites often have large perimeters and occupy remote locations. They also protect high-value minerals, machines, and infrastructure. These risks mean the industry faces crime threats at every stage of the supply chain, including theft, vandalism, and intrusion by unauthorized personnel. The consequences of these crimes include:

  • Financial losses: Natural resource theft alone amounts to an estimated $91–258 billion per year, worldwide. 
  • Downtime: Parts and equipment theft or tampering by vandals can leave machines out of operation for days, putting projects behind schedule.
  • Hazardous conditions: Unauthorized individuals roaming a mining site put themselves and your employees in danger.
  • Liability: An accident on your property could result in legal liabilities if your company is found negligent in preventing unauthorized access. 

AMAROK helps mining operations and materials processing companies address these risks through custom perimeter security solutions. We serve mining and processing sites nationwide by providing industry-leading security expertise and proven perimeter defenses that deliver a 5X ROI to our average customer.
