THE FRONTLINE OF PERIMETER SECURITY: HOW DOWNEE PROTECTS AUSTRALIA’S SITES

Most people pass through airports, government buildings, or industrial sites without thinking twice about the perimeter security infrastructure. But behind the scenes, perimeter security is the first and last line of defence—and Downee’s gate automation and hardware solutions play a critical role in securing Australia’s most high-risk sites.

Industry figures show that the presence of a well built security fence can lead to a reduction in the number of breaking and entry incidents between 50% and 80%. At Downee, we work with security professionals, contractors, and facility managers to ensure their sites have the right automation and hardware solutions tailored to their specific security needs. From power stations and correctional facilities to data centres, these locations require robust, reliable access control solutions that stand up to high-security demands while ensuring seamless functionality for those who need access.

Securing Australia’s Critical Infrastructure

Security at high-risk sites isn’t just about keeping people out—it’s about ensuring controlled access for those who need to be in. Downee’s industrial grade gate automation and perimeter solutions are trusted by government and private sectors to safeguard:

Airports: Controlling airside access for restricted personnel

Data Centres: Preventing unauthorised entry to protect sensitive digital infrastructure

Power Stations: Securing Australia’s energy supply
