Security

Black & Veatch offers advantages in security design that are unparalleled in the industry. Our project experience ranges from simple perimeter security and access control to the sophisticated systems used to protect nuclear materials in the U.S. and Russia. On every project, we capitalize on the nearly 7,000 professional resources of Black & Veatch, choosing people with the best education, experience and technical background to meet your specific goals. Our professionals are trained in a variety of proven approaches, both military and commercial, including the Sandia Risk Assessment Methodology (RAM).

Designing the optimal security solution requires more than engineering knowledge. It requires an understanding of mission parameters, strengths and vulnerabilities, threats and countermeasures, and most of all, human nature. We have developed that understanding over 60 years of service on diverse, secure Federal government programs. We are also fully independent from security equipment manufacturers, ensuring that our sole priority on every project is to find the right solution for your challenge.
