Enviroguard Technologies unveils security device to protect against rash of nationwide fuel thefts
Unsecured
All that stands between compromising 8,000 + gallons of gasoline housed in underground storage tanks is an unsecured fuel fill port that leads directly to the source.
Is your fuel secure?
Protection of fuel assets is vital. The current system is extremely easy to gain access to by hand with no tools necessary. All that stands between compromising thousands of gallons of gasoline housed in underground storage tanks is an unsecured fuel fill port that leads directly to the source. Without securing entrance to these areas, we leave ourselves exposed to attacks that have the potential of causing disastrous consequences, resulting in catastrophic loss of life, destruction of assets, environmental issues and financial turmoil through the interruption of operations.
Securing critical infrastructure?
The key to protecting critical infrastructure and ensuring continuous delivery of improvements is identifying single points of failure. Single point vulnerabilities are a fundamental concern when evaluating infrastructure vulnerabilities, especially when there is a possibility of exploitation of elements of a particular infrastructure to disrupt or destroy another target. Fuel fill ports and access to underground fuel storage tanks represent those single points of failure.
Anti-Theft System
Fits existing fuel infrastructure.
Gas prices continue to climb and fuel theft has gone beyond simple siphoning of fuel from cars to removal from gas stations, where the underground storage tanks are unlocked and unsecured.
The Enviroguard locking system is engineered to work with existing underground fuel storage tank infrastructure making installation easy. Our hinged version keeps everything contained in one easy-to-use application securing fuel assets quickly. We can manufacture the devices from high strength steel, aluminum and composite materials in order to provide varying levels of security. Lock configurations are almost limitless based on the specific applications.
