SCG has been engaged by the Queensland Department of Housing and Public Works, on behalf of the Department of Justice and Attorney-General, to undertake the design of a CCTV upgrade at the Princess Alexander Hospital High Security Unit (PAHSU).

SCG conducted a review of the existing physical security and electronic security measures installed at the Haynes Shopping Centre, and provided recommendations regarding improvements, upgrades, and the serviceability of the existing systems.

SCG has been engaged by the Department of Justice and Regulation (Vic) to undertake an investigation of the existing security systems at the Dame Phyllis Frost Centre in order to assess the required works for the new Gatehouse construction and cutover. The investigations and outcomes are to remove significant risks associated with a live Gatehouse cutover process.

The project will investigate 6 identified enabling work elements and provide an opinion of cost, identify issues with the implementation, recommendations, proposed staging of works and a high level program analysis to cater for the expansion of the Centre, including:

• Security Communications Network Upgrades
• Security Management System Upgrade
• CCTV System Migration
• Cell Intercom System – Communications and Technology Upgrade
• Cell Intercom System – Self Test Retrofit
• Perimeter Detection System – Technology Upgrade

SCG team members undertook the security risk assessment, design and construction supervision services and wrote the Security Management Plan for the Freshwater Place development.

The security services included the entire development, involving the 38-level commercial tower, the 5-level podium, office and retail building, the 60-level residential tower and the associated basement car parks.

The iconic nature of the buildings required aesthetically stringent architectural features and careful device selection and integration.  As a result, our role included extensive coordination with the project stakeholders and, in particular, the project architects to deliver a complex but integrated security solution.
