  • Access control system

FIMA built a 4.5km perimeter security system using three technologies: sensor cable, microwave barriers and outdoor motion detectors. The technologies were chosen for the perimeter security solution in response to the location and type of fencing.

Klaipėdos Nafta, the main Lithuanian company that tranships oil products into tankers, is a strategic facility in one of Lithuania’s major seaports. Such facilities are subject to very stringent requirements.

Under the project, FIMA built a new 4.5. perimeter security system around the area.FIMA built the system using three technologies: a sensor cable, microwave barriers and outdoor motion detectors. The technologies were chosen for the perimeter security solution in response to the location and type of fencing.

FIMA modernised the site’s video surveillance system with new CCTV cameras, digital recording devices as well as changing and expanding the video  signals commutation matrix.

To control access to the site, an access control system was installed at the gates. In addition, an office was built and fitted out for the printing and issue of access cards.The systems installed by FIMA control and manage four vehicle access points and three passenger access points. All data captured by the equipment is automatically transmitted to the server of State Sea Port Directorate.

FIMA also expanded perimeter security and video surveillance systems during the reconstruction of the tanker loading site. The access control system was integrated with tanker loading systems and the systems that issue loading bills.

Project uniqueness

FIMA installed systems at a site of major strategic importance to Lithuania and for a seaport company with extremely high security requirements. Because of its shoreside location, great care had to be taken when selecting equipment that can function reliably in difficult weather conditions.
