Protecting underground networks from unauthorised access or even terrorist attack has become a major issue for operators in recent times.
In line with this increased threat CUBIS has worked hard to bring customers a wide range of security solutions to match the level of perceived threat.
Many high profile companies already rely upon our security systems to protect their cable and/or water networks.
To assist customers in choosing the appropriate security product and to eliminate wasteful over-specification, we have composed a four lock level.
| Security Level | Protecting From | Attack Time | Typical Tools |
|---|---|---|---|
 Low |
Curious opening - Casual vandalism |  5 minutes |
Tools at hand, fingers, car keys, penknives |
| Medium |
Theft of service - Vandalism |  10 minutes |
Screw drivers, hammers, hacksaw, plyers |
| High |
Sustained vandalism |  15 minutes |
Cordless power tools, crow bars, wedges, hammers |
| Extreme |
Prepared attack |  25 minutes |
Sledge hammers, disc grinder, bolt cutters |
Our chamber security is provided in one or a combination of:
SURFACE COVER LOCKING
Our range of AX-S™ covers can be supplied with locking options to match the level of security required and surface covers can be complimented with a further layer of high security plates.
Turnbuckle Bolts are opened by turning the key which moves the latch out from a locked to unlocked position. The latch is retained in the cover, removing the risk of loss of the bolt by site operatives. Keys are designed to meet customer requirements.
Security Bolts are also available in a number of key types and are simply bolted down into place to secure the cover. Standard types of key are available in flat head, penta head, offset circle and snake eye. As with turnbuckle bolts, we can also match your existing key type if it differs from our standard types.
Hasp and Staple Locks are secured using a SEAP approved padlock. The padlock itself is protected using a shroud to prevent padlock cutting.
Sub-Surface Cover Security Plates can be fitted to access chambers to prevent accidental damage during cover removal and unauthorised access to networks. Components have been designed to meet stringent Loss Prevention and manual handling standards and are secured by means of a SEAP approved padlock system. Once fitted, all bolds, fixings and entry points are hidden from view.
Combination System Being a mixture of Locking Surface Covers and/or Sub-Surface Cover Security Plate.
