Quick action, minimal damage
How our management team handles unexpected situations
An unexpected report from the neighborhood: “There are people walking across the solar farm, but we don’t know if they belong here.” Immediately our management team switched gears. The systems were checked for anomalies in, for example, the park’s production, an invigilator was called in, and not much later the invigilators discovered a hole in the fence at the solar park. “No one is left there, but it looks like a break-in. Possibly something was taken. We will call the police immediately.”
Although there were no cameras at this park, our administrators took immediate action. The first priority: stabilize the situation and prevent further damage. A security company was contacted and installed sensors and temporary cameras the same afternoon to prevent possible further damage. Meanwhile, administrator Senne was talking to the neighborhood and the police, while Kazim focused on the systems and Richard helped with practical matters.
Recovery and prevention
After being reported to the police, the extent of the damage was recorded. The installation was checked to determine what was still functioning and what parts needed to be replaced. New cables were then installed and tested after which an inspection took place. The park owners were kept informed of all developments, and temporary security for the park was chosen. The temporary security required power. Our team arranged a temporary power supply at lightning speed.
Proactive monitoring
“Because of the good cooperation between the maintenance party and the security company, we were able to act so quickly. Thereby, through our fault line, all data and thus production deviations are checked daily,” says administrator Kazim. “As soon as something deviates, we are on standby. By acting quickly, we managed to minimize losses. With this break-in, after stabilizing the situation, we worked out a proposal to prevent this kind of situation in the future. After all, security is an essential part of professional management. An extra nice touch is that we work in a team where cooperation is fast and smooth, which makes my job even more fun.”
