Services entail the development of Low Voltage Systems & Security Program and related Assessments including working with the design team to develop the systems and security program for each project element with an approach to the overall convention center campus and supporting facilities.
The design focus will ensure that aesthetics are not altered, while at the same time providing functionality and performance to visitors and employees. The approach to security includes the site, the vehicle, and pedestrian access points; consideration for clearing or screening both; allowing a tiered approach of perimeter security policies; and keeping the visitor experience as a prime consideration. Specific entries and exits, for anticipated venues and mission requirements, will be studied and reviewed with the appropriate stakeholders. A detailed security program report addresses all the above and provides recommendations that will influence all other design disciplines with the security elements to be considered for each trade.
