The mining industry plays a vital role in supporting the national economy. However, behind its significant economic potential, the sector also faces serious challenges in security—one of the most prominent being PETI (Illegal Mining). These illegal activities not only threaten operational and environmental safety but can also lead to substantial financial losses and damage to a company’s reputation.
Through an Early Detection, Early Prevention approach, PT Nawakara Perkasa Nusantara serves as a strategic partner in delivering an integrated and proactive mine security system built on deep understanding of field dynamics.
PETI refers to mining activities carried out without official government permits, often involving irresponsible groups operating around—or even within—the concession area of legal mining companies. The threats include:
Damage to heavy equipment and operational facilities
Disruptions to production and logistics
Theft of mineral resources
Potential social conflict with surrounding communities
Environmental damage that harms the company’s reputation
PETI activities often take place covertly, but their impact can be substantial. Therefore, a purely reactive security approach is no longer sufficient.
As a security company with extensive experience protecting hundreds of national strategic projects, Nawakara has developed a specialized approach for the mining sector. The strategies include:
Nawakara begins with mapping high-risk areas based on historical incident data, geographical conditions, and social dynamics around the mine. Field teams are equipped with intelligence capabilities to detect suspicious movements early.
Through the Protectify application, patrols are conducted not only physically but also digitally recorded and reported—providing transparency and rapid reporting to the Command Center. This facilitates personnel monitoring and real-time incident reporting.
Personnel assigned to mining areas receive tactical training, social conflict handling, and perimeter security skills suitable for open and remote environments.
Effective mine security cannot operate in isolation. Nawakara collaborates with local military and police (TNI/Polri) and builds positive engagement with nearby communities to create a supportive and sustainable security ecosystem.
All security activities at mine sites are monitored directly from Nawakara’s Command Center, enabling incident analysis, patrol performance evaluation, and rapid decision-making when potential PETI threats arise.
The implementation of an integrated security system has proven to:
Reduce PETI disturbances by up to 60% within the first 6 months (based on Nawakara’s internal study)
Increase stakeholder and shareholder confidence
Lower repair and equipment damage costs caused by sabotage or theft
Improve operational productivity by ensuring uninterrupted production activities
