Project List

Product and Service Highlights

SEA has been and will continue to be faced with challenges that will require ingenuity and tenacity to provide the client with the services and products that will meet the ever increasing needs of security.

Product details

Management of Fleet Security

Security Engineering Associates (SEA) is responsible for the overall security for the future fleet of Nuclear Power Generating Stations. The responsibilities included the develop Safe Guards Information (SGI) program for the four plant fleet. Support the licensing effort concerning security during the combined operating licensing application (COLA) process. Security Engineering Associates (SEA) is charged with the responsibility to develop a compliant cyber security program for a new designed digital operating nuclear power plant.

SEA will also help coordinate the pre construction requirements to comply with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s (NRC) pre-construction activities to isolate and control construction site access during adjacent nuclear plant operations.

Developer of a Construction Oversight

Matrix for the Nuclear Industry

SEA has worked jointly with a task force to develop a managerial process for verification of proper application of construction management and oversight in the development of new nuclear power plants. The process is in development stages with certain areas of the process in limited application in the nuclear industry.

Construction Oversight of the Pebble Bed Modular Reactor

(PBMR) Construction License Development (South Africa):

SEA has been and will continue to be responsible for reviewing construction oversight and security management during the development of this unique reactor design. SEA is responsible to review existing South African regulation and specifications to verify the processes are correct and meet current international standards.

Meeting NRC Regulations

SEA wrote, reviewed and submitted the project’s physical security plan to meet regulatory requirements for filing the COLA. The process required knowledge of the Part 73 Regulations that are established by the NRC. The process also required coordination with the certified design of the Evolutionary Power Reactor (EPR.) During the writing of these documents the team of technical writers was required to review, alter and revise the supplied template format to meet the ever changing physical security plan requirements. At the completion of the documentation the format that had been developed by the writing team was used to help develop Physical Security Plans for other Nuclear Power Plant applications.

Pre Construction Security

SEA supports members of Project Transition Team for the pre construction coordination. The support that is supplied by SEA team members includes supervising and overseeing security requirements that are related to the construction site. This responsibility includes that physical consideration and the regulatory compliance. SEA has been instrumental in the development of a pre construction site isolation sequence and schedule to allow site construction preparation during the adjacent nuclear plant’s operations.

Forced Entry Ballistic Resistant (FEBR) Security Upgrade

Of US Embassy Seoul, Korea

Security Engineering Associates key personnel were responsible for the physical security upgrade which included the replacement of Force Entry Ballistic Resistance products throughout the Embassy and satellite structures.

In coordination with the installation of the FEBR Products SEA supported the increase in the technical security by improving the ability to oversee secured areas and entrances and exits throughout the facility. SEA oversaw the development, writing and application of the Scope of Work for the local subcontractors and the Cleared American subcontractor. The responsibilities during the installation included create a working schedule of security improvement that will meet the requirements of the overall protection of the Embassy during a high alert state.

Due to the nature of the specialty materials that were applied in this project SEA was required to work closely with the Department of State logistic support group to coordinate deliveries of specialty equipment as secured United States Government (USG) shipments.

Multilevel Security Upgrade of

US Embassy Rome, Italy

SEA key personnel were responsible for the security upgrade included Perimeter Security Upgrade (PSU), the Forced Entry Ballistic Resistant (FEBR) Security Upgrade and a Technical Security Systems (TSS) Upgrade.

The responsibility of the project included supervises simultaneous projects to allow for efficiencies in project duration, manpower usage and minimal disruption to the US Embassy and the US Government Operations. Many design modifications resulted due to unforeseen site conditions, including discovery of ancient ruins unearthed during normal excavations.

Security Upgrade Projects,

United States Department of State

SEA key personnel were tasked with the development of multi level security improvement projects using a centralized management system. The program was to create efficiencies in project management by cutting overall project cost, increase productivity and reduce overall project duration for the United States Department of State.

The program allowed survey teams to travel to various regions and incorporating several site visits during one survey trip. The program developers coordinate information gathering, survey reports and bid packages to minimize time between survey and construction. The USG applauded the efforts and found the time between survey and physical security improvements to the US Embassies were shorten by almost a year in scheduling time. The shortening of the duration of time for a US Embassy at high vulnerability to become a facility with the capability to protect its personnel was a key to the success of the program.

Security Upgrade Projects,

United States Department of State

SEA key personnel were charged with the responsibility for the development and maintenance of a Project Management Office (PMO) that would provide a strong working relationship with the United States Department of State (DoS) overseas facilities.

The DoS wanted the PMO to have a management team to support oversee security projects and their staff. The responsibility of the team included coordination of outside architectural subcontractors who were responsible to design a stronger and more robust DoS facility. The “team” would coordinate both the Engineering and Design departments by providing information concerning proper application of systems designed for the security projects.

This information that was provided allowed for quantity take-off information for procurement of materials and provides support to the field on execution of the construction plan.

The “team” would provide additional system information and costs in the aid of project costs estimation.

Security Upgrade to the United States Embassy

Rome Italy

SEA key personnel were responsible for coordinating the architectural and engineering firms to complete a site survey of the US Embassy.

The team leader was responsible to travel to sites to inspect and gather information that would aid in the development of a Scopes of Work (SOW) derived from the site visits.

Once the information had been gathering, the team would oversee review of design and implement changes to meet the DoS’s needs and standards. These needs would include oversight and management of Project development and site integration, survey design and construction management.
