British Pipeline Agency Limited (BPA), a leading UK pipeline operator and consultant, has extended its relationship with Axis Security, one of the UKdzԹs leading suppliers of security services, to pro-actively protect its UK pipeline infrastructure.
dzԹBPA are happy to be working closely with Axis in protecting the UK pipeline infrastructure for which we are responsible as operators,dzԹ says Andrew Murray, Security Manager for BPA.
dzԹAxis are providing BPA with a professional nationwide security management service under BPAdzԹs own Security Management Strategy, delivering a proactive surveillance and deterrent to interference with critical UK pipeline infrastructure.
dzԹI was happy to approach Axis Security to provide this service and we now have two dzԹPro-active Pipeline Surveillance Security PatrolsdzԹ providing mobile surveillance in Axis liveried vehicles,dzԹ Andrew continues.
Axis SecuritydzԹs pro-active units comprise four employees covering two patrols, a north and south team, and each officer works 40 hrs a week. This extension of Axis and BPAdzԹs security relationship furthers the existing round-the-clock security responsibilities protecting BPAdzԹs Kingsbury Oil Terminal Site.
dzԹThe officers provide a very autonomous but vital role for BPA, and our pro-active stance is now being echoed by other pipeline operators,dzԹ Andrew concludes.
David Mundell, Managing Director of Axis Security, says its officers are even more vital to protecting the wider BPA operation: dzԹThis is a good example of a fully functional security operation being extended through our officersdzԹ hard work and dedication at an existing site.dzԹ
The BPA controls and manages over 800 km of pipeline systems geographically extending from Merseyside, through the Midlands, and down to the River Thames in the South East.
