Harland & Wolff deploys 21st century IP surveillance system
With a celebrated 140-year history of shipbuilding, Belfast-based Harland and Wolff Heavy Industries operates one of the largest dry docks in the world and specialises in Ship and Offshore Unit design, construction, repair, conversion and decommissioning. Since 1861, the company has secured an enviable reputation and built some of the world’s best-known ships, but none more so than the RMS Titanic.
Faced, however, with increasing competition and the steady decline of the Western shipbuilding industry, Harland and Wolff has diversified its portfolio and now focuses on design and structural engineering in the marine, offshore and civil engineering sectors. Recent projects include renewable energy developments such as offshore wind farms and tidal power constructions, as well as oil rigs and bridges.

Robust site security and surveillance are integral to Harland and Wolff’s business operations. With a 90 acre site, accommodating a building dock, ship repair dock, ship repair and major yard access, round-the-clock site monitoring and the ability for project managers and clients to view the progress being made on their projects is essential for maintaining customer satisfaction, and enforcing site security and health and safety measures.
