Bee Network EV Infrastructure
As Willmott Dixon delivers critical new EV infrastructure for Greater Manchester’s Bee Network, VIS Systems has been proud to support the project with a sustainable security package that safeguards the build while aligning with ESG and social value goals.
The Project
The Bee Network represents a huge positive step for Greater Manchester, creating the UK’s largest integrated transport system outside London and driving the city towards a zero-emission future.
As part of this ambitious scheme, Willmott Dixon has delivered new electric vehicle charging infrastructure to power the first fleet of zero-emission buses across Greater Manchester.
The project includes specialist depot works and charging facilities that will enable hundreds of electric buses to operate seamlessly within the network.
This vital investment not only supports the city region’s net-zero targets but also underpins a cleaner, more efficient transport system designed for long-term sustainability and community benefit.
Our Role Within This Project
VIS Systems was proudly appointed to secure construction and installation works during the delivery of the Bee Network’s EV infrastructure.
Working alongside Willmott Dixon, we designed and deployed a tailored site security solution capable of adapting to the project’s specialist nature and urban setting.
Our integrated package included:
- Solar-powered CCTV towers providing off-grid perimeter security
- Wireless camera coverage to monitor evolving work zones
- 24/7 AI-driven monitoring from our in-house remote monitoring centre
This setup delivered complete site visibility, safeguarded valuable equipment, and ensured smooth operations across the high-profile project.
Smart Security for ESG-Led Infrastructure
The Bee Network project placed sustainability and ESG commitments at its core, and our security solution was designed to reflect these priorities.
Our solar CCTV towers provided reliable, off-grid security without increasing site emissions, eliminating reliance on mains power while maintaining full coverage all the while.
Each tower was equipped with Smart AI technology to detect movement, trigger alerts, and enable rapid response, ensuring risks were managed proactively and efficiently.
Wireless cameras extended coverage across active construction zones, adapting to changing layouts and allowing the project team complete visibility as the depot works progressed.
