RELEVANT PROJECTS
CLIENT: General Services Administration (GSA) Region IV
PROJECT: Security Inspections and Systems Installation
This project consisted of two tasks. Task 1 consisted of conducting security
assessments of Security Level IV facilities in the Southeast Region. The
inspections involved reviewing each facility and making security systems
recommendations and their placement. Security systems that were used included
premise wiring, CCTV, physical barriers, employee identification systems, access
control systems, intrusion detection systems, magnetometers, X-rays, and other
intrusion and access control devices. Task 2 consisted of the installation of
the recommended and approved security systems. The installation consisted of
designing security systems, specifying equipment and materials, estimating
installation costs and schedules, subcontracting parts of the work, managing the
construction, ensuring that the systems perform per specifications, developing
systems procedures and testing, systems programming, and training. All
facilities are remotely monitored (and sometimes also controlled) from the
Regional Control Center in Atlanta via dedicated telephone lines.
Work under this contract included the installation of premise wiring, control
switches, video and security equipment, and computer control systems in over 60
buildings that GSA maintains in the Southeastern United States. This work was
accomplished through the issuance of multiple Delivery Orders from GSA. SCG’s
staff conducted building inspections and developed engineering designs to be
approved by GSA. Local subcontractors performed the installation of
cabling/wiring and equipment. SCG managed the individual efforts of the
subcontractors and ensured final quality through testing. Work was done
simultaneously on multiple buildings within a city and in multiple cities
throughout the Southeast. SCG wrote procedure manuals for the operation of the
systems. After the systems were tested, inspected, and approved by the client,
SCG distributed the training manuals and conducted training sessions to ensure
client understanding of operations of the total system.
CLIENT: General Services Administration (GSA)
PROJECT: Security Inspections and Systems Installation
This project consisted of four tasks. Task 1 included site assessments for U.S.
Courthouses and Internal Revenue Service, Federal Bureau of Investigation, U.S.
Customs, Federal Aviation Administration, and Social Security Administration
offices to validate the security recommendations of the Building Security
Officers of GSA-owned and -leased buildings in the States of New York and New
Jersey. Task 2 was to assess the maintenance requirements for
previously-installed security equipment. SCG conducted the assessment,
identifying make, model, and serial number of cameras, multiplexors, x-ray
equipment, intrusion and access control devices, and other security-related
equipment, in 81 buildings throughout New York and the northern counties of New
Jersey. Task 3 was to determine the requirements and scope for Mylar
application. This task was a no-notice, quick turnaround task. In 3-˝ days, SCG
measured over 7,000 windows in five major cities. The final task was the layout
and design of recommended equipment. Installation included access control
systems, intrusion detection systems, interior and exterior CCTV monitoring
systems, intercom systems, and installation of bullet proof doors, windows, and
walls. Employee training of installed equipment was provided.
CLIENT: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
PROJECT: Security/Access Control/Physical Barriers Security/CCTV Systems
Installation
SCG was awarded the contract to upgrade the security, access control, physical
barriers, and CCTV systems for the FAA’s Miami facility. The project consisted
of the installation and integration of a new access control system, security
lighting, intrusion detection systems, barrier fencing, access gates, and CCTV
systems. All of the systems were integrated so that each system relayed
information to a central station onsite. Information was also transmitted to
guard access points at the perimeter gates. The system was transmitted across a
new fiber optic backbone that was installed by SCG solely for the use of the new
systems. The project was a complete overhaul of the facility’s security posture
and was used as the pilot project for the upgrade of all FAA facilities. Upon
completion, FAA security personnel were trained on the system, operations
manuals developed, and quarterly maintenance services performed.
CLIENT: National Park Service
PROJECT: Systems Installation
SCG installed a security system at the National Park Service’s Chickamauga and
Chattanooga National Battlefield Park. The access control system monitors the
events in the Fort Oglethorpe Visitor’s Center and the Chickamauga Maintenance
Facility in Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia, and the Craven House, the Point Park
Mountain Visitor’s Center, the Ochs Museum, and the Point Park Maintenance
Facility at Lookout Mountain, Tennessee. The system controls CCTVs located at
three of the facilities, access to all facilities, and fire alarms and motion
detectors at all five facilities.
Of key interest is the quality of work performed by SCG in this installation.
The Park Headquarters (Fort Oglethorpe) is a historical building built by the
WPA in the 1930s. The Craven House was built before the Civil War and rebuilt
after the Civil War battle that raged around it. A major consideration when
installing the security system was to not destroy the historical look of each of
these buildings. All patchwork had to be accomplished in the same methodology of
the original construction (including applying the horse-hair plaster). The SCG’s
efforts were approved by the Park Service Architectural Historian.
In addition, the National Park Service awarded SCG multiple projects to install
fire, security, and fire suppression systems at several other of its historic
parks. The facilities included: the Visitor’s Center and Museum at King’s
Mountain, North Carolina; the Visitor’s Center and Museum at Sullivan’s Island,
South Carolina; and the Visitor’s Center, Administration Office, Museum, and
Theater at Congree Swamp in Hopkins, South Carolina. Also, the National Park
Service tasked SCG with the installation of wireless security and fire alarm
systems at several of its remote parks. SCG installed an Inovonics wireless fire
and security system at Fort Pulaski located near Savannah, Georgia. SCG also
installed an Inovonics wireless fire and security system at Fort Christiansted
located on the island of St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
CLIENT: Air National Guard
PROJECT: CCTV Systems Installation
SCG installed a CCTV system at the Air National Guard base located in Nashville,
Tennessee. The system consisted of fixed and pan/tilt/zoom cameras that
monitored entrance and exit gates to the TANG base, as well as monitoring the
runways and hangars utilized by the Air National Guard. The cameras were
connected to a on-site monitoring facility using fiber optic cable from each
camera to ensure the best quality picture.
SCG has similar experience in the design and installation of sophisticated
camera systems on the Iowa Air National Guard Base located in Des Moines, Iowa.
CLIENT: UT-Battelle/Oak Ridge National Laboratory (DOE)
PROJECT: Access Control Systems Installation
SCG was awarded a contract by UT-Battelle to provide an access control system
for the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The contract was to upgrade the entire
ORNL reservation with a new access control system. All badge readers and field
controllers were removed and replaced with new equipment. The upgrade involved
over eighty (80) buildings and consisted of installing 273 proximity badge
readers and 132 controller panels. The project also included the upgrades to
door hardware. The access control upgrade project team, including SCG, was
honored by ORNL for its contributing efforts of meeting a U.S. Department of
Energy milestone. ORNL cited SCG’s contribution as an integral part of the
achievement.

SCG’s proven management skills with fire alarm systems, the company was tasked
by UT-Battelle to provide in-field project management supervision during the
installation of the new fire alarm system within the HFIR building. The SCG
project manager was tasked with overseeing the installation of the new fire
alarm system and reporting back to UT-Battelle project management any issues
that arose. It was also tasked to the SCG project manager to verify that the
prime contractor installed the new system to meet National Electrical codes and
NFPA 72 requirements.
Due to SCG’s commitment to quality work, in the fall of 2002, UT-Battelle again
approached SCG to provide project management support for the eight-building fire
alarm upgrades project. The project was tasked as before, but for eight
buildings, including Building 4500 South, Building 5500, Building 4501, Building
4505, Building 4508, Building 3500, Building 3047, and Building 7930. Near the
