Firma Mooibedacht - a behind-the-scenes look

The world of the ATM

The television show Firma Mooibedacht provides a behind-the-scenes look at the cash and valuables transport company G4S. A global view, that's true, so as not to make criminals any wiser than they already are.

Inventors of security concepts

As a master in engineered security, Van den Hoogen Security was involved from the start in the security concept for the distribution centres of G4S (Group 4 Securicor, previously Geldnet). Within this concept, we were responsible for deterring criminals. In industry terms: for implementing the desired engineered delay time. This goes further than just installing break-in alarms and camera systems. These systems signal, but they do not deter criminals. After signalling, the main objective is to keep the crooks away from the loot until qualified follow-up (a police arrest team) arrives at the location.

Examples of engineered security measures that delay

  • Heavy vault spaces
  • Vault doors
  • Access control systems
  • Locking systems
  • Security rooms for electronic equipment 
  • Special guard rooms
  • Reinforced windows in the facade 
  • Security glazing
  • Reinforced walls, roofs and floors
  • Gate locks in the reinforced walls
  • Roadblocks or road barriers to deter an attack with heavy equipment (backhoe)
  • Concrete sheet piling
  • Engineered facilities in conduit ductwork
  • Engineered facilities in openings and transits
  • Anti-tank moats
  • Single-person pass-through (locks)
  • Fencing
  • ...
