Utilities

IMC designs security systems for Utility Facilities based on an identification of critical need assets that are potential targets and/or threat related. IMC evaluates existing conditions and equipment and incorporates them into a concise design for mitigating potential threats.image544
 
IMC Security design involves measures undertaken to protect personnel, equipment and property against anticipated threats. Active measures include the use of proven systems and technologies designed to deter, detect, report and react against threats. Additional measures include the effective use of architecture, landscaping and lighting to achieve improved security by deterring, disrupting or mitigating potential threats. Security should be an integral part of a facility layout on both a critical system asset and physical security need basis.

Utility Security Methods

IMC implores the following methods (but is not limited) of protecting a utility facility:

  • Use of technology – smart fencing, high definition security cameras, alarms and video analytics
  • Setting a site footprint and securing the perimeter
  • Architectural design elements (barriers/obstacles) to secure facility from avenues of approach
  • Utility systems (indoor and outdoor) protection from intentional or unintentional damage, tampering, and accidents
  • Safeguarding communications systems for emergency use
  • Building access control through barriers, keys, keypad systems, access cards, smart cards, or biometrics, as appropriate
  • HVAC mitigation measures versus the risk associated with chemical, biological, and radiological threats
  • Protecting high-risk spaces within the building - hazardous material storage rooms, loading docks, and laboratories
