FREESE AND NICHOLS: HELPING YOU PROTECT YOUR WATER SUPPLY Innovative approaches . . �X�� Mr INNOW Freese aw Nichols practical results The following projects represent recent V /As and associated surveillance and security system projects: — Surveillance and Security System Improvements Wesley Seale Dam /Choke Canyon Dam /Pump Station FNI designed a system that will provide video surveillance and access security at two large high- hazard dams, one small dam, and two water transmission pump stations. FNI is also providing representation services while the project is in construction. The design included the identification of critical points in the system to be monitored or secured, siting of video cameras based on the viewing coverage needed, and the selection and specification of the surveillance and security hardware and software. The project also includes renovations to an existing building to create an Emergency Operations Center at one of the large dams to provide remote monitoring of the other sites. The design of the remote monitoring network included the selection of a telecommunications architecture that would be cost - effective and still provide the required surveillance. Vulnerability Assessment and Security Inspections AEP Power Plant Dams American Electric Power Company, Texas , FNI was hired by the American Electric Power Company to conduct security inspections at five power plant cooling water dams located in Texas, Arkansas and Louisiana. The inspections consisted of a review of the project — plans, a site visit and a letter report of observations, conclusions and recommendations. The report identified the portions of the facilities that were most vulnerable to attack by terrorists and recommended methods and procedures to mitigate these vulnerabilities.
