The greater the risk to a structure
from terrorist attack, the more care must be taken in protectiong
the building facility
While the need for low level protective measures will continue,
there is now a stated need for certain key installations, persons
or equipment to be protected from a higher level of threat. Measures
will need to be effective against manual, ballistic or explosive
attack or a combination of all three.
The greater the risk to a structure from terrorist attack, the
more care must be taken in protecting the building facility.
The process of deciding which measures are appropriate involves
a careful risk analysis in which the likelihood of an event happening
and the consequence of that event happening are considered. A
vulnerability analysis can then be drawn up to identify those
areas of weakness where improvement is needed.
Great care must be taken to ensure that the measures are appropriate,
cost effective and complimentary. For example, there is no point
in fitting blast resistant windows if the frame and wall are
not matched to resist a similar level.
Tecdur offers manual attack, ballistic resistant and blast resistant
windows, frames and wall reinforcement that can be designed to
optimise the protection against the identified threat or combination
of threats. The result is a tailored security solution to each
individual project.
