G4S builds solar-powered perimeter fencing for Hima Cement plant and mines

Uganda: Security provider G4S has installed solar powered laser security systems for Hima Cement at one of its plants and several mines. The system was commissioned in March 2021 and it uses chargeable solar cells in perimeter security towers. G4S says that the system will improve sustainability and reduce costs compared to conventional alternatives. Where sensors detect a breach, security guards will investigate using electric bikes. The supplier says that the bikes facilitate more covert operations compared to motor vehicles, in addition to having sustainability benefits.

Head of technology Samuel Tebandeke said “We wanted to challenge ourselves to think of a better solution for our customer. We knew that we wanted to introduce electronic perimeter security to enhance the protection for the three mines and the cement plant we protect. Other providers were proposing laying many kilometres of cabling underground to provide power for their electronic perimeter monitoring, but our team decided to investigate a greener solution.”
