[NEWS] Protecting Large-Scale Gas and Oil Infrastructure: The Value of EO/IR Based Perimeter Surveillance

  As energy infrastructure security becomes increasingly intertwined with national security, large-scale gas and oil companies are demanding perimeter surveillance technologies that are both highly precise and exceptionally reliable. In response to this growing need, TBT supports the protection of critical assets for global energy companies through its EO/IR based perimeter surveillance solutions.Vast Energy Facilities Demand 24/7 Uninterrupted Surveillance Large-scale energy facilities, including gas fields, refineries, pipeline networks, and storage tank terminals, share common security challenges: expansive coverage areas, complex layouts, and exposure to open and remote environments. Facilities located in harsh conditions such as deserts, coastal regions, or remote areas face even greater challenges, where conventional CCTV systems show clear limitations in detecting intrusions during nighttime, severe weather, or low visibility conditions. TBT’s EO/IR perimeter surveillance system is specifically designed to overcome these environmental constraints. By integrating electro-optical (EO) and infrared (IR) sensors, the system enables real-time situational awareness and threat detection regardless of day or night conditions.EO/IR Technology Optimized for the Energy SectorTBT’s perimeter surveillance solutions for large scale gas and oil operators are built upon the following core technological strengths:Long-range intrusion detection capability- Early detection of personnel, vehicles, and vessels from distances of several kilometers, maximizing response timePerformance in adverse weather and low visibility environments- Reliable imaging and identification of infrastructure threats and unauthorized access even in smoke, fog, dust, and nighttime conditionsIndustrial-grade design for continuous operation- Stable long-term operation in extreme environments, including high and low temperatures, salt exposure, and sandstormsAutomated tracking and integrated system interoperability-Automatic target tracking and centralized monitoring through integration with radar and intrusion detection sensorsThese capabilities play a critical role in preventing security threats that could escalate into secondary incidents such as gas leaks, fires, or explosions.Transitioning from Manpower-Based to System-Centric Surveillance Large energy enterprises are increasingly shifting away from manpower intensive perimeter security toward operations centered on intelligent surveillance systems. TBT’s EO/IR solutions enable fully unmanned, 24/7 monitoring, significantly reducing operational costs while dramatically improving surveillance reliability. In particular, EO/IR based perimeter surveillance has become a de facto essential infrastructure for areas where permanent personnel deployment is impractical, such as outer fence lines, pipeline routes, and remote storage facilities.Supporting ESG and Safety Strategies in the Energy Industry Global gas and oil companies are increasingly adopting ESG management and enhanced safety as core strategic priorities. TBT’s EO/IR perimeter surveillance solutions go beyond conventional security, contributing to accident prevention, environmental protection, and operational stability, key pillars of ESG performance.A Trusted Partner for Global Energy Infrastructure Protection Leveraging its EO/IR expertise, TBT delivers customized perimeter surveillance solutions tailored to the operational environments and security requirements of large-scale gas and oil companies. Through close collaboration across the entire lifecycle, from system design and site analysis to integration and long-term operational support, TBT positions itself as a trusted technology partner dedicated to protecting its customers’ most critical assets.

TBT establishes an "industrial complex fire prevention" observation system at the Ansan Smart Hub Observatory. Early detection enables proactive response to large-scale fires.   TBT has installed its products at the Ansan Smart Hub Observatory and is building a specialized fire prevention observation system for industrial complexes. This installation is designed to reduce the risk of recurring fires in industrial complexes and enable preemptive response by quickly detecting early signs before they escalate into large-scale fires. Ansan Smart Hub is an area with a high concentration of factories, warehouses, and logistics facilities, and the constant operation of flammable materials and equipment, making it a prime location for rapid fire spread. Early warning signs, such as smoke or unusual heat, are often difficult to detect on-site, making delays in early detection potentially devastating.   Observation from the observation deck: Secure the golden hour by identifying smoke and other abnormal signs early.  For this project, TBT leveraged its geographical advantage as an observatory to establish a long-range observation-based fire prevention system that provides a wide view of the industrial complex. The TBT equipment installed atop the observatory allows for constant monitoring of a wide area from a high vantage point, contributing to the rapid detection of smoke and other abnormalities and securing the golden time for initial response. In particular, fires in industrial complexes can quickly spread from a single location to adjacent facilities, making early detection and rapid dissemination a key preventative strategy. The TBT observation equipment was designed to efficiently monitor a wide area, meeting these needs.   Designed for outdoor environments, stable fire prevention infrastructure that can be operated 24 hours.  This installation was designed with the outdoor environment of the industrial complex in mind, ensuring stable operation under a variety of weather conditions, including strong winds, rain, and temperature fluctuations. Furthermore, the installation method, linked to the observation deck structure, ensured stable installation. Maintenance routes were also carefully considered to facilitate management and inspection. This allows site managers to quickly identify risk situations based on continuous observation information and, if necessary, coordinate with relevant agencies to expedite on-site dispatch and response.   "Prevention is key to industrial complex fires," expanding into a smart industrial complex safety system.  A TBT official stated, "Once a fire breaks out in an industrial complex, the damage can be extensive and spread rapidly, so prevention and early detection are key." They added, "The installation of the Ansan Smart Hub Observatory has laid the foundation for proactive fire risk management, and we will continue to expand our smart fire prevention observation solutions applicable to industrial complexes and public facilities." Starting with this installation, TBT plans to continue strengthening safety solutions tailored to the characteristics of industrial complexes and contribute to the expansion of prevention-focused safety management infrastructure, a key element of smart cities and smart industrial complexes.
