Copper & Metal Theft
SmartWater combats copper, lead and non-ferrous metal thefts
A rise in the worldwide price of copper, lead and other non-ferrous metals has led to a dramatic increase in the number of metal thefts across Australia - all for the sake of their scrap value. Thefts are not only causing thousands of dollars worth of damage to important buildings, but also have major ramifications for transport, communications and utility companies. These include: significant site damage, loss of reputation, corporate downtime and health and safety implications.
SmartWater unlike other property marking systems or DNA based systems, will withstand burning and considerable attack when the plastic casing is stripped of cables, each batch is unique thereby providing the police with an irrefutable link to the crime scene.
A co-ordinated strategy, SmartWater has adopted a proactive approach to combat metal theft using our unique combination of forensic products, the offer of police support and intelligence gathered by our Crime Support Unit.
Intelligence is offered and can be used in covert police operations as well as helping clients identify areas that are most at risk. By working with our clients we can greatly reduce the theft of metal.
Scrap metal dealers are being brought on board and are aware that any stolen metal marked with SmartWater can be traced and are questioning the origin of metal, which in turn is making stolen metal worthless to thieves.
To protect your business from the damage caused by metal theft, please contact us to discuss your requirements and how we can help you implement The SmartWater Strategy™.
