LRDAS for Oil & Gas Refinery Security
LRDAS enhances oil & gas refinery security by providing long-range radar detection, early intrusion warning, and continuous monitoring of large industrial perimeters, tank farms, and critical infrastructure.

Enhancing Long-Range Surveillance for High-Risk Industrial Facilities
Oil & Gas refineries are among the most critical and high-risk infrastructures. These facilities handle flammable materials, high-pressure systems, and hazardous processes, making them potential targets for intrusion, sabotage, theft, and safety incidents.
A Long-Range Detection & Assessment System (LRDAS) provides early detection and continuous monitoring of refinery perimeters and surrounding buffer zones, ensuring threats are identified long before they reach critical assets.
Why LRDAS is Essential for Oil & Gas Facilities
Oil & Gas facilities typically include:
- Large open perimeters
- Tank farms
- Process units
- Pipeline corridors
- Marine loading terminals
- Remote storage areas
Traditional CCTV systems have a limited range and may not detect movement at long distances. LRDAS uses advanced radar sensors and long-range cameras capable of detecting targets from several hundred meters up to 10+ kilometres (depending on radar type).
This extended detection range provides:
- Early warning of intrusion attempts
- Monitoring of unauthorized vehicle movement
- Detection of suspicious activity near tank farms
- Surveillance of offshore or coastal approach areas
- Improved response time for security teams
AARMTech’s Methodology for LRDAS in Refineries
At AARMTech, we follow a structured engineering approach:
- Site Survey & Data Collection
- Plant layout drawings
- Tank farm details
- Existing radar and CCTV locations
- Installation heights and beam parameters
- Newly constructed structures that may cause obstruction
- Terrain & Visibility Simulation
Using SPx Radar Coverage Tool and Google Earth Pro:
- Radar range, beam width, and target height are simulated
- Blind spots are identified
- Elevation data is analysed
- Multi-radar placement scenarios are tested
- Obstruction & Shadow Analysis
Large storage tanks, process units, pipe racks, and buildings may create radar shadow zones.
We optimise radar height, tilt, and location to eliminate continuous blind spots.
- Multi-Radar Optimisation
If a single radar cannot meet coverage requirements due to terrain or structural obstructions, multiple radar locations are simulated to ensure overlapping coverage and full perimeter visibility.
Key Benefits for Oil & Gas Facilities
✔ Extended perimeter detection beyond the fence line
✔ Reduced vulnerability to sabotage and intrusion
✔ Continuous monitoring of high-value assets
✔ Faster incident response time
✔ Integration with CCTV and security control rooms
✔ Scalable and future-ready security design
