| TPS awarded security design for retail mall in Kuwait City The security division of TPS (part of Carillion plc) is providing physical and technical security design services for the innovative new development of The Avenues Mall in Kuwait City - the Gulf region's biggest retail mall at over 1 million square metres. The project, headed by TPS Principal Security Consultant Steve Richins, has now entered its third phase of development which, upon completion, will see The Avenue's Mall double in relation to its original size. The existing mall - already a landmark in the region - will see the addition of several striking new retail areas with a prestigious level of finishes, services and facilities, including a gold Souk luxury goods mall. Behind the facades The Avenue's Mall will see the creation and migration of a new operations centre as well as the installation and integration of more than 700 CCTV cameras and associated measures. TPS consultants began work in 2009 on the security design, bringing to the project valuable past experience of counter terrorism advisory work on many of the UK's largest shopping malls. The 'no-compromise' approach to the security design of The Avenue's Mall includes the installation of a new tried and tested Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) system that will help address security challenges associated with having basement level car parking under the main Mall. write your comments about the article :: © 2010 Construction News :: home page |
