Security In Design
SIDOS (UK) Ltd – Security Consultancy
Security Specialists
Security in Design captures the skills and lessons learnt from Crime Prevention, Architectural liaison, Environmental Crime Reduction and Counter Terrorism Security. It culminates to offer a package of recommendations and advice which if incorporated into designs is proven to reduce both opportunity and impact across a whole breadth of scenarios.
Well-designed security whether it be through environmental or physical security systems, minimise risks that could threaten businesses, public facilities or individual dwellings. Considering the layout of a new urban or commercial development is often the most easily overlooked approach to improving security. SIDOS team members are experts in this field across all elements of delivery and involvement at the earliest stage which ensures the desired outcome.
Chris’s input into developing and refining the physical security requirements and assurance process of the end design solutions for the Elizabeth line was invaluable. As a key member of my team Chris took a pragmatic approach to ensuring proportionate measures were adopted via considered risk assessments. Chris was sympathetic to the architectural point of view and worked cooperatively and closely with designers and contractors to enable delivery of a high quality architecture and urban design response that met strict security requirements.
Architects
have a vision of what they would like to deliver in appearance and functionality SIDOS will work to incorporate security while maintaining the concept.
Engineers
have the task of calculating the requirements to provide the building or facility to ensure it can both be constructed and can withstand all the challenges which may be asked of it.
Security Specialists
have the role of providing appropriate and proportionate levels of physical security which are dovetailed and incorporated into the designs, bringing together Architecture and Engineering holistically and entirely.
