Valeo maintains sustainable growth with an enviable depth and diversity of projects, satisfied clients and steady expansion. The contract value size of Valeo ranges from $10,000,000 to $60,000,000
The requirement: Valeo management evaluated the cost of stolen materials, tradies tools and damage to property and found that even though this was measurable the real cost was the lost time the security breach caused the projects. Out dated camera systems and average alarm systems where not deterring or keeping this element away. Footage from CCTV was of poor quality and rendered useless as offenders could not be identified. Alarm systems where poorly monitored and response times from authorities / key holders were arriving after the event. They required a security solution which would give them results and be rolled out across all current and future projects. The system needed to be robust and operate most times outdoors in some challenging environments as well as be reusable time and time again across new projects
The solution: Scope Protective & Data Solutions (SPDS) Security Risk manager worked closely with site supervisors and investigated all prior security breaches. SPDS targeted the site that had the most number of breaches. SPDS replaced the existing analogue CCTV system with a full HD 1080P IP system and rolled out a combination of 1.3mp and 3mp cameras. Allowing the client to identify offenders, description of vehicles etc and supply them to the authorities. In addition SPDS supplied a video verification security alarm system which enabled the control room to receive a 10sec video clip to ascertain whether a confirmed intruder was on site or whether it was a cat or possum etc. With the confirmation of a verified intruder the control room was able to notify police and co-ordinate a improved response from 1.5hr to 10min on site from the time they were notified. The combination of the above lead to several successful arrests within the first week. Valeo has now incorporated the above solution across all current projects reducing the number of incidents by 70%.

The system allowed management to review the picking process at every stage.
• from the time that the packing slip was picked up from the printer
• in and out of any of the refrigerators and freezers
• up and down any of the dry storage isle
• back to the processing desk
