Case Study: Atex-Rated CCTV and Thermal Imaging Installation for a
High-Security Gas Facility.
Client: Confidential Natural Gas Provider
Industry: Energy & Utilities
Service Provided: Atex-Rated CCTV and Thermal Imaging Installation

​
Overview:
Our client is responsible for receiving natural gas through a deep-sea pipeline from Scandinavia. Given the volatile nature of the product being handled and the associated safety risks, security at the site is of the utmost importance. To enhance their security infrastructure, Taurean Integrated Systems was entrusted with taking a consultant’s conceptual design and transforming it into a detailed design and managed installation plan. The solution included state-of-the-art Atex-rated CCTV and Thermal Imaging systems for both the internal site and perimeter.
Challenges:
The facility’s security needs were complex, primarily due to the high-risk environment posed by the handling of natural gas. The potential for an explosive atmosphere required the implementation of specialized equipment that met Atex safety standards, which are essential for operations in potentially hazardous locations. Our team had to ensure that all systems installed were intrinsically safe and fully compliant with safety regulations, making the project a challenging and high-stakes task.
Our Solution:
Taurean Integrated Systems provided a comprehensive solution, which involved the following key elements:
-
Atex-Rated CCTV Systems – We installed Atex-rated CCTV cameras designed to operate safely in hazardous environments, ensuring real-time surveillance of critical areas while meeting strict safety standards.
-
Thermal Imaging Cameras – Thermal imaging technology was utilized for detecting heat signatures and unusual activity both internally and along the perimeter, providing an extra layer of security and risk mitigation in high-risk zones.
-
Intrinsically Safe Equipment – All equipment and installations were carefully selected to meet intrinsic safety standards, ensuring no risk of ignition in potentially explosive environments.
-
Detailed Design & Managed Install – Our team worked closely with the client and consultants to develop a tailored system design and managed the installation process from start to finish, ensuring that all systems were safely integrated and compliant.
Results:
The installation of Atex-rated CCTV and thermal imaging systems significantly improved the site’s security, providing continuous surveillance and early detection of any unusual activities or potential threats. The specialized equipment was installed in full compliance with Atex regulations, ensuring a safe and secure operational environment. Our expertise in intrinsically safe systems allowed the project to be carried out efficiently without compromising safety or regulatory requirements.
Conclusion:
Taurean Integrated Systems delivered a cutting-edge, safe, and compliant security solution for the natural gas facility, enhancing their security measures and mitigating risks in a high-risk, potentially explosive environment.
