Client Use Case - Mobile Surveillance Requirements
In 2023 United Airlines and the Houston Airport System (HAS) announced a landmark transformation project of the George Bush Intercontinental Airport.
It aimed to reinvent and expand on Terminal B to enhance the air travel experience for passengers and better manage the future needs of passengers.
This expansion spanned across a vast area of the airport and encompassed various different upgrades, all of which required security in order to prevent the risk of construction theft and other crime that it could be presented with.
Within this, any security method they utilized needed to be completely power autonomous and be able to function on its own with no need for internet or power.
The Challenges
Construction jobsites are common targets for criminals, especially those that span over large spaces because their security can be difficult to manage and they often hold high-value materials, equipment, and machinery.
Especially with the rise in metal theft, construction jobsites such as this project at George Bush Intercontinental Airport face increased risks of crime which could cause delays and heavy financial implications on the contractor if committed.
With such a transformation project, managing access control in this type of public location is impossible without the support of additional security measures.
As the project was taking place at an airport, other terminals would still be in operation and have thousands of individuals utilizing it still. Security measures used needed to provide a criminal deterrent factor and be able to work independently to the rest of the airport.
The Solution - Solar Surveillance Trailers
Following the requirements set for the project at George Bush Intercontinental Airport, we helped to support JE Dunn in securing their jobsite during the renovation.
Our Solar Surveillance Trailers were used to protect their construction jobsite at the airport whilst remaining completely power autonomous as requested.
Powered by solar energy and using cellular connectivity, this security solution requires no power or internet input from the airport without the need to skimp on security quality.
Fitted with infrared PTZ cameras that have zoom in capabilities which can offer a near 360 degree view, they work perfectly to cover vast spaces including that of Terminal B where there were various entry points which could be targeted.
As well as their power autonomy, their mobile design allows them to be easily relocated by the contractors as the project develops into various locations. This keeps the security solution both cost-effective and adaptable to construction projects such as this.
At WCCTV we understand the needs of construction jobsites hence why we offer rental options for our Trailers. Although this project is long-term, it is still temporary, so a permanent surveillance system would have been costly and impractical in this instance.
Unlike other mobile surveillance systems, our Solar Trailers provide 24/7, 365 day live monitoring with visual deterrent features such as its 20-ft height, live voice-down audio message backup, and sirens to prevent any unauthorized access and theft of any materials.
The Result
Through the use of our Surveillance Trailers, we supported George Bush Intercontinental Airport with their transformation project, protecting materials, preventing any unauthorized access, and deterring criminal activity.
By utilizing just 4 of our Solar Trailers, we effectively helped their project to continue as needed and reduce the impact in which construction crime can have on large projects like this.
With multiple entry points to monitor, our products are designed with the specific needs of construction jobsite projects in mind and we are proud to support them along their exciting journey to improve Terminal B and the overall experience for travellers in their airport.
