Acoem, a pioneer in advanced physical security solutions, announced that a large North American utility is utilising its ATD Gunshot Detection system to protect critical infrastructure at multiple sites across the country.
Over the past few years, utilities across the United States have faced a troubling trend: gunfire directed at electrical substations and other energy assets. Whether the intent is vandalism, sabotage, or reckless target practice, the results are the same. A single rifle round can destroy a million-dollar transformer that could take months to replace. This happens when the cooling fluid drains from the transformer. Once the fluid is lost, the unit quickly overheats and frequently ignites.
