Design of High-Value Facilities

You are here:

Designing high-value facilities requires careful planning, expertise, and a strong focus on protection and risk mitigation. Emphasis should be placed on the protection of people and assets.

We specialise in the designing of:

  • Precious Metals & Stones (Gold & Diamond) Facilities
  • Banking Facilities
  • Cash Centres
  • Jewellery Stores
Here are some key considerations and principles we use for designing high-risk facilities:

  1. Risk Assessment: A thorough risk assessment is undertaken to identify potential external and internal risks, their consequences, and the likelihood of occurrence.

  2. Key Asset Assessment: Determining of key assets, such as People, Property, Operations and Reputation.

  3. Security Measures: Implement robust security measures to protect the facility from external and internal threats:
    • Perimeter Protection
    • Early Warning Systems
    • Access Control
    • Surveillance Systems
    • Alarm Systems
    • Security Policies and Procedures
    • Emergency Preparedness
  4. Training and Education: Training of personnel involved in risk assessment and management on best practices, risk education techniques, and security protocols.

  5. Redundancy and Reliability: Incorporate redundancy and back-up systems to ensure critical processes can continue in the event of euqipment failures or emergencies. This includes redundant power supplies, communication systems, and security measures

  6. Continuous Improvement: Assist clients to foster a culture of continuous improvement, where lessons are learned from possible threats.

Designing high-risk facilities is a complex and highly specialised field that requires collaboration among security experts, engineers, safety experts, architects, and regulatory authorities. Security should always be the top priority, and the design process should be guided by a rigorous risk-based approach to minimise potential harm to people, the environment, and property and regulations.
