Customer challenges
Why choose Securitas?
Bel Valves required a more cost-effective and future-proof way to protect their expansive, high-value manufacturing site. The existing approach relied on manned guarding, which delivered coverage but was no longer sustainable from a cost or efficiency standpoint. They needed to maintain, or ideally improve, site safety while significantly reducing reliance on on-site personnel.
Our solution
The need for a comprehensive security system
After a thorough risk assessment and site survey, Securitas proposed a Remote Video Solution (RVS). This included the installation of a high-spec digital CCTV system, complete with infrared and thermal sensors to detect unusual activity. Monitoring is managed remotely by trained officers at our Securitas Operations Centre (SOC), supported by mobile patrols and keyholding services to create a truly integrated system.

"Our challenge to Securitas was to improve security without having people on site full time, but we’ve been pleasantly surprised by just how much more we are getting in terms of technology and services – and for less than a fifth of the cost of our previous monthly security overhead."
