In addition to common hydroelectric industry challenges such as protecting large areas with a small staff and minimal budget, Alabama Power at Thurlow Dam has a history of trespassers trying to get into its dam site. Most of these trespassers are only interested in climbing on the spillway and rocks directly below the spillway for innocent means such as fishing, but some of the trespassers have ill intent, such as vandalism or stealing high value assets.
Check out our video to hear how Alabama Power at Thurlow Dam uses OWL’s GroundAware radar solutions to provide an additional layer of security to prevent public safety and vandalism issues on the dam’s property.
