Safe and efficient solutions for accessing and maintaining water infrastructure.

CHALLENGES

Challenges in the water management system

Water management is one of the most sensitive areas of critical infrastructure.

Modern facilities are digitally networked, decentralised and in operation around the clock – but at the same time they areincreasingly threatened by cyber attacks, physical sabotage, technical failures and the consequences of climate change. Extreme weather conditions such as droughts or heavy rainfall put systems to the test, while power outages or defective pumps can quickly jeopardise the supply of entire regions. Deliberate attacks and illegal discharges of pollutants also pose serious risks to the environment and health.

A failure of the water supply would not only have massive economic and ecological consequences, but would also shake the population's trust in state institutions.

Protecting water infrastructure is therefore essential – for public health, security of supply and the stability of entire regions. What is needed are comprehensive security concepts with flexible, documentable access solutions and resilient systems that reliably protect both technical and human vulnerabilities.

SOLUTIONS

Our solutions

Our access and security solutions are specially tailored to the requirements of the water industry.

Reliable physical protection is essential, especially in view of the rising threat of sabotage, unauthorised access and changing personnel. The well shaft plays a particularly important role in protecting underground facilities.

Here, STUV offers PYLOCX® ,a tamper-proof locking system that effectively prevents unauthorised access.

The PYLOCX® key safe enables secure key storage directly on site – ideal for changing personnel or external service providers without compromising access control.

Swinghandle locks with PYLOCX® cylindersreliably secure control cabinets and technical housings, which are often the target of attacks or tampering attempts.

The PYKEY®electronic key enables precise access control – without batteries or an external power supply. This makes it particularly robust against technical failures or extreme weather conditions.

Our maintenance-free systems combine the highest safety standards with minimal organisational effort, ensuring sustainable resilience in an increasingly challenging environment.
