Aden Techniques

Integrated solutions with a smart edge.

Operational Approach

Designing facilities for challenging environments must start with careful assessment of each client’s operational constraints and needs. From this, Rapid develops a comprehensive turnkey offer, targeted at the precise requirements of your facility.

Rapid never rests; we make continuous improvement a key element of our offer. When your facility is built and in operation, Rapid is still monitoring and streamlining our processes and supply chain to make sure our clients get the best level of services for the whole duration of their contract.

Integrated Solutions

In high-challenge environments, facilities need strategic solutions that integrate the newest technologies, are cost-optimized and work together as a whole. Piecing together services one-by-one is simply too risky and resource-consuming.

Rapid understands this. Our solutions are integrated from day one, taking full advantage of our parent companies’ network and expertise. Rapid’s integration and ability to provide a single point of contact also translates to serious cost savings, backed by our innovative customized financing offer.

Our solutions

Investment & Leasing

Rapid’s turnkey solution revolves around what we call the BOOT concept. BOOT lowers the upfront investment cost due before construction begins, and spreads out the total payment in a leasing model that can cover the duration of the contract. Your costs will be all-inclusive for the facility and its operations - meaning one simple bill and no hidden costs.

Its principle is as follows:
BOOT = Build / Own / Operate / Transfer

Build

Prior to the construction phase, a deep analysis of any constraints is conducted in order to design the most suitable and complete solution. The construction process then can start including the planning, the civil works, the construction of the infrastructure and its assembly onsite.

Own

Rapid sees a different way to finance projects. Traditionally, investment costs have been separated from operational costs. The result is a major bill at the project’s start. Our innovation is to distribute construction costs, along with OPEX costs, over the whole period of the contract. The result is a fully-financed project with limited initial investment needs.

Operate

The operations, maintenance and associated services of the facility, including the warranty and insurance are managed by Rapid who assumes all the risks associated to these operations.

Transfer

At the end of the specific period of the contract, the ownership of the facilities is transferred to the client.

Security

Rapid’s integrated security solutions are expert-designed, carefully considering the requirements of each client and location. Rapid will give your site a thorough security analysis, backed by local security agencies and the local government; this ensures your security and that our solutions are precisely adapted to the situation on the ground for your site and country of deployment.

The Next Wave: Smart Camera

Smart security that reduces the risk of human error, distraction and fatigue. Thanks to advances in AI and machine learning, a new generation of smart cameras can identify and alert you to pre-selected behaviors, whether it’s suspicious activity on the perimeter, weapon-recognition or even smoking in prohibited areas.

The Next Wave: Security Drone & Robots

Security that never sleeps, with the ability to carry out multiple functions. Robotic security can conduct regular patrol and scanning; sound alerts and warnings; and even carry out emergency response actions such as fire response.

The Next Wave: Anti-Drone Security

As drone technology advances and becomes more accessible, so does the need for high-tech solutions to counter hostile drone activity. Rapid can help install anti-drone systems which are able to jam unwelcome drones and counter this new type of threat.

Static Security

Static security means more than just armed guards. Rapid’s static-security solutions are reinforced by full integration of all supporting systems, with the latest CCTV technology centrally controlled from an operations room.

Mobile Security

We provide proven, industry-standard armored vehicles geared for the specific security threats of your deployment zone. We provide sufficient numbers and configurations to operate in any scenario. Track each vehicle in real-time from the operations room and carefully monitor clients’ movement. All vehicles are equipped with GPS and a satellite phone, as well as standard running kit and medical bags.

Access Control

We provide state-of-the-art access control solutions. We also can establish or manage the framework that works best for each client’s facility. Rapid’s service offer includes badging programs, gate- or remote-access control and high-level screening.

Risk Management

When it comes to security, Rapid is always proactive and agile. Our integrated risk management carefully plans for all likely risks; continuously identifies possible threats; and can quickly respond to the security risks that are inherent to your mission-deployment sector. Whatever the threat, Rapid has a plan.

Secured Infrastructure

We know from experience that security needs differ in each zone of deployment. Rapid provides buildings and infrastructure which can be security-upgraded and reinforced for different security levels and types of threat. As always, your circumstances and your needs drive our solutions.

Digitalize to decarbonize: Akila

Akila is a digital twin data platform that centralizes and visualizes all data from your buildings, from one site up to an entire global property portfolio. It helped building owners, tenants, and operators reduce energy consumption, enhance efficiency, and increase visibility of key performance data.
