Securing Critical Energy Infrastructure with Advanced Perimeter Protection
In the world of energy production, security isn’t an option, it’s a necessity. The Shuqaiq Water and Electricity Company (SQWEC), based in Jizan, plays a crucial role in powering and supplying utilities to the Kingdom. When it came to fortifying this vital site, Jadwaa was selected to design and implement a comprehensive smart security solutionbuilt for 24/7 protection, real-time responsiveness, and future scalability.
This project underscores our commitment to safeguarding critical infrastructure, not just with walls and wires, but with intelligent systems that anticipate and deter threats.
Project Overview: Integrated Defence at Every Level
Protecting a high-value energy site requires more than cameras, it demands a multi-layered security ecosystem. Jadwaa developed and deployed a full suite of surveillance, perimeter, and control technologies tailored for SQWEC’s operational and risk profile.
The goal was simple: to ensure that any unauthorised activity is immediately detected, assessed, and addressed without compromising operational efficiency or safety protocols.
Scope of Work
Integrated Security Systems Implemented
- APF (Anti-Personnel Fence) Installation – an intelligent perimeter that detects breach attempts.
- CCTV Surveillance – wide-angle cameras integrated with command control systems for total visibility.
- Sensors & Tension Cable Network – designed to detect movement and vibration across boundary lines.
- Concertina Barriers – physical deterrents against intrusion, customised for site topology.
- Command Control Room – central hub for live monitoring and security operations management.
- OSP (Outside Plant) Infrastructure – supporting the transmission of real-time data across the site.
- Electrical Works – powering the integrated systems with stable, secure electrical connections.
Impact Delivered: A Site That Watches Over Itself
Proactive Intrusion Detection
Real-time sensor alerts and video feeds allow security teams to respond instantly to perimeter breaches.
Round-the-Clock Monitoring
The command control room acts as a nerve centre for operational awareness, running 24/7 without fail.
Hardened Perimeter Defence
APF, concertina, and tension cable systems form a multi-layered defence line that protects from both external and internal threats.
Seamless Integration with Site Operations
All systems were designed to integrate into the existing electrical and data architecture, with minimal disruption to core operations.
Why It Matters: Energy Security is National Security
By securing SQWEC’s Jizan facility, Jadwaa contributes directly to the Kingdom’s strategic infrastructure resilience. This project exemplifies how modern security isn’t just about response it’s about readiness, automation, and visibility.
As Saudi Arabia expands its energy and utility sectors, projects like this set a benchmark for how to protect what matters most with precision-engineered solutions.
Jadwaa specialises in advanced perimeter and surveillance systems for high-security environments, from utilities and ports to military and industrial zones.📧 [email protected]
