The fire and security installation company Evolution has launched a new Security Design Division to provide security and fire system design and specification services to installers and clients.
Richard Lambert, pictured, Managing Director of Evolution, says: “A solution is only as good as the original design and specification, and our team has an established reputation for excellence across a host of high profile projects in some of the most demanding environments.
“We are now making this skilled resource available to third-parties, whether installers, clients, or even other consultants, to work in partnership with them to design security and fire solutions that are technology agnostic and genuinely best-in-class. The importance of traceability and demonstration of planned process is further strengthened by our partnerships with professional independent Risk Assessors to ensure all threats and weaknesses have been considered prior to committing to design.”
Richard believes that not being tied to a single manufacturer or technology is an advantage: “It means we can select the most appropriate products without fear of compromise and knowing that we are always giving best advice.”
The Security Design Division will provide ‘traditional’ security consultancy services from original design through to commissioning, as well as providing all necessary documentation to support the tender process. It will make use of the latest 3D Building Information Modelling (BIM) techniques used in construction projects. Evolution’s consultants work with clients with different experiences of risk, from high-end government and critical infrastructure, to large commercial or industrial complexes.
Richard adds: “We understand i-LIDS, CPNI, ATEX and a host of other guidelines, benchmarks and directives to work in the highest of high-security environments, but we also understand the challenges faced by lower risk sites, who also have a duty of care to ensure their property and staff are protected.”
Operating from the company’s head offices in Buckinghamshire, the team will be led by Russell Loneragan. Russell has been at Evolution for the past 20 years and has almost 30 years security industry experience.
