General Details for Oil Depots Perimeter Security
Oil depot perimeter security delivers a high-assurance, multi-layered protection system designed to prevent unauthorized access, theft, vandalism, sabotage, and safety threats across critical petroleum storage and distribution facilities. It integrates high-strengthperimeter fencing or walls with advanced anti-climb, anti-cut, and anti-dig measures, along with fiber-optic–based Perimeter Intrusion Detection Systems (PIDS) that provide precise, real-time detection of cutting, climbing, tampering, and ground disturbance with extremely low false alarm rates. Combined with intelligent video surveillance, controlled and explosion-safe access control points, and centralized command-and-control monitoring, the solution ensures continuous situational awareness, rapid response to security incidents, protection of hazardous assets, operational continuity, and compliance with oil & gas industry safety and security standards.
FOL-101
Securing Fence & Buried Perimeter for OIL DEPOT and REFINERIES


Securing the perimeter is the first and most critical layer of physical protection for oil depots, refineries, and petroleum storage terminals. The FOL-101 Fence and Buried Perimeter Intrusion Detection System provides continuous, real-time monitoring of both perimeter fences and underground boundaries using advanced fiber-optic sensing technology. The system is specifically designed to prevent unauthorized access, theft, sabotage, and hostile intrusion attempts at critical oil & gas infrastructure. It reliably detects fence climbing, cutting, pulling, lifting, and tampering, as well as digging and tunneling near the protected perimeter — before any security breach occurs. With high detection accuracy and extremely low nuisance alarms, FOL-101 ensures dependable protection for hazardous and high-risk refinery environments.
How the Fence and Buried Perimeter Security Works?
A fiber-optic sensing cable is installed on the perimeter fence and/or buried underground along the oil depot or refinery boundary. The perimeter is divided into Zone 1 to Zone 8, each covering up to 500 m range. Any physical disturbance on the fence or ground generates an instant alarm. The controller identifies the exact zone of intrusion, and alarms are transmitted to the central control room for immediate response.
Zone-Based Alarm Detection
- Exact intrusion location displayed zone-wise
- Multiple intrusions can be detected simultaneously in different zones
- Reduces response time and improves operational efficiency
- Ideal for critical infrastructure and restricted zones
Key Advantages for Oil Depots & Refineries Security
- Early intrusion detection before perimeter breach
- No false alarms with 24×7 highly reliable security
- No electrical power required on the fence
- Immune to EMI, lightning, radiation-safe conditions, and extreme weather
- Centralized monitoring from a secure oil depot or refinery command & control room
FR-201
Securing Fence & Buried Perimeter for Oil depot and Refineries


FR-201 is a point-locating Fiber Optic Intrusion Detection System designed to protect high-risk, mission-critical infrastructure such as oil depots, refineries, and petroleum storage facilities. Oil & gas installations require multi-layered, fail-safe perimeter security to prevent theft, sabotage, vandalism, unauthorized access, and covert intrusion attempts such as digging or tunneling near critical assets. The FR-201 provides continuous, real-time monitoring of both perimeter fencing and buried boundaries using advanced fiber-optic sensing technology. The system is engineered to detect, classify, and precisely locate intrusion attempts — including fence climbing, cutting, pulling, tampering, ground disturbance, digging, and tunneling — well before a perimeter breach occurs. With accurate point-location alarms and intelligent event analysis, FR-201 enables immediate and targeted response, ensuring reliable protection for hazardous, large-scale, and high-value oil & gas facilities.
How the System Works?
A single-mode fiber-optic sensing cable is installed on the perimeter fence and/or buried underground along the oil depot or refinery boundary. The same sensing cable can protect fence and buried zones simultaneously. Any disturbance creates a signal that is analyzed by the FR-201 controller. The system generates a pinpoint location alarm within a few meters, and the exact intrusion point is displayed on the monitoring system, allowing security teams to respond quickly and accurately to real threats.
