SELECTED ENGAGEMENTS
INFRASTRUCTURE
Challenge
A new utility tunnel beneath a public road would carry critical systems while facing unauthorized-access and vehicle-blast exposure.
Approach
Force Protect set vulnerability and blast criteria based on burial depth and recommended motion-activated cameras at tunnel entrances, tied to the security control center.
Result
The design team adopted the criteria, updated outdated references, and selected purpose-built cameras that improved coverage while reducing equipment cost.
ENERGY & UTILITY PROTECTION
Challenge
A large campus needed to replace aging district steam infrastructure without creating new vulnerabilities around gas lines, fuel storage, and boiler equipment.
Approach
Force Protect joined at feasibility and gave options for protecting gas lines, fuel storage, and boilers, including vehicle barriers, blast screens, and enclosed service yards.
Result
Early involvement avoided redesign, and the security requirements held through each engineering milestone.
PHASED CONSTRUCTION
Challenge
Eight high-risk buildings required seismic retrofit across a six-phase, multi-year program while the campus remained in operation.
Approach
Force Protect reviewed each phase for gaps in access control, video coverage, and system bypass, then aligned security requirements with the phasing plan.
Result
Security guidance became a dedicated project-book section, with transition plans that maintained continuous protection for occupied buildings through every phase.
RISK ASSESSMENT AND MASTER PLANNING
Challenge
A campus of more than 25 buildings had no unified security framework, with inconsistent perimeter controls, gaps in video coverage, and unprotected utility corridors.
Approach
Force Protect reviewed every building, ranked the assets that mattered most, and assessed priority threats across five layers of protection.
Result
The master plan set priorities for the perimeter, vehicle setbacks, lighting, video, lockdown, and the security control center, sequenced to the capital budget.
NEW BUILD & EXPANSION
Challenge
An active medical campus needed a mobile imaging pad that met physical-security and blast-protection standards without disrupting active operations.
Approach
Force Protect assessed vehicle, blast, active-threat, and utility-disruption risks, then issued guidance on vehicle setbacks, utility protection, video, lighting, and quality review.
Result
The design team carried the guidance into the construction documents, including blast-rated utility protection and low-light panoramic video.
CAMPUS SECURITY OPERATIONS
Challenge
A large campus needed a ground-up overhaul with no centralized command capability, independent security network, or police facilities meeting current standards.
Approach
Force Protect advised from the risk assessment through blast analysis and quality review, setting requirements for ballistic protection, holding areas, resilient control rooms, and a dedicated network.
Result
The completed system provided redundant fiber paths, centralized command of surveillance and access systems, and purpose-built police operations facilities.
ELECTRONIC SECURITY SYSTEMS
Challenge
A five-building correctional treatment facility needed unified door control, video, intercom, and access control despite conditions that differed significantly from bid documents.
Approach
Force Protect reviewed the control diagrams, door schedules, intercom, video, network, and control room design for quality and consistency.
Result
The final design, prepared by the project engineers, unified control of every door, camera, and intercom through new workstations and a video wall.
