Project Title:
Successful Deployment of Surveillance Systems for Atomic Minerals Directorate for Exploration and Research (AMD) in Hyderabad and Bangalore by Brihaspathi Technologies.
About the Project:
Brihaspathi Technologies undertook the deployment of CCTV surveillance system for the Atomic Minerals Directorate for Exploration and Research (AMD) across their facilities in Hyderabad and Bangalore. The project involved the installation of both outdoor and indoor CCTV cameras to ensure maximum security and monitoring capabilities.
Deployment of CCTV Cameras:
Brihaspathi Technologies has meticulously transformed the security landscape for the Atomic Minerals Directorate for Exploration and Research (AMD) with the deployment of an advanced CCTV surveillance system across their Hyderabad and Bangalore facilities.
In Hyderabad:
A total of 57 high-tech cameras now vigilantly oversees the premises:
In Bangalore:
51 cutting-edge cameras have been installed to ensure impeccable surveillance:
Objectives:
Outdoor CCTV Cameras at the Perimeter:
The installation of outdoor CCTV cameras along the perimeter was aimed at ensuring the security and surveillance of the facility's boundaries. These cameras provide continuous monitoring to detect and deter unauthorized access, enhance the security of the premises, and ensure the safety of personnel and assets.
Indoor Cameras:
Indoor CCTV cameras were deployed to monitor internal areas of the facility. These cameras focus on ensuring operational efficiency, safety, and security within the buildings. They help in tracking activities inside the blocks, identifying potential security breaches, and maintaining a secure environment for employees and sensitive operations.
Challenges and The Approach:
Placement for Maximum Coverage:
Challenge: Strategically placing cameras to cover critical areas like inside the block, perimeter wall, and operational zones as per customer requirements.
Solution: Successfully tackled the challenge by precisely digging around 95 meters along the perimeter walls. This meticulous execution ensured maximum coverage without causing any damage to AMD's properties, meeting all customer requirements and enhancing the overall security infrastructure.
Distance and Signal Loss:
Challenge: Ensuring signal integrity over long distances.
Solution: Utilized appropriate cable types, including fiber optics, to minimize signal loss and maintain high-quality video transmission.
Access and Permissions:
Challenge: Navigating bureaucratic processes to obtain necessary access and permissions.
Solution: Coordinated closely with AMD officers to plan and schedule work efficiently, minimizing disruptions.
Soil Conditions:
Challenge: Digging through various soil conditions such as rocky, sandy, or clay.
Solution: Deployed heavy machinery for rocky soils and adapted digging techniques as per soil type.
Identifying and Avoiding Existing Underground Utilities:
Challenge: Preventing damage to existing underground utilities like water pipes, electrical cables, and telecommunications lines.
Solution: Conducted thorough underground surveys to identify utility locations and planned alternative routes where necessary.
Disruption to Operations:
Challenge: Minimizing disruptions to AMD’s daily operations during installation.
Solution: Scheduled work during non-peak hours and coordinated closely with AMD staff.
Remove Pavement, Backfilling, and Re-laying Pavement:
Challenge: Managing pavement removal, backfilling trenches, and re-laying pavement without compromising structural integrity.
Solution: Removed cut pavement pieces carefully, backfilled trenches with excavated soil, and re-laid pavement meticulously.
Restoration and Reinstatement:
Challenge: Ensuring all disturbed areas are restored to their original condition.
Solution: Carried out detailed restoration and reinstatement processes post-installation.
Cable Path Design and Management:
Challenge: Designing efficient cable paths and managing them to avoid clutter.
Solution: Used cable ties, Velcro straps, and clips to secure cables neatly.
Pole Strength, Foundation, and Clearance:
Challenge: Ensuring poles are strong, properly founded, and have sufficient clearance.
Solution: Used structurally sound poles and ensured proper foundation and clearance.
UPS Capacity:
Challenge: Calculating load and sizing UPS for uninterrupted power supply.
Solution: Conducted thorough load calculations and ensured proper UPS sizing and ventilation.
Results:
The successful deployment of 108 cameras across both locations has significantly enhanced the security infrastructure of AMD. The strategically placed cameras ensure coverage, continuous monitoring, improved safety and security for both indoor and outdoor areas.
Conclusion:
Brihaspathi Technologies successfully completed the deployment of a robust CCTV surveillance system for AMD in Hyderabad and Bangalore. The project addressed various challenges through strategic planning, advanced technology, and efficient coordination.
