Project Overview

Professional Systems Engineering, LLC provided corrections master planning services, systems design for support services/site connectivity study and schematics; construction documents, administration, management; as well as certification testing/inspection and commissioning services for this 60-acre site. PSE spent 7 months meticulously reviewing and verifing/testing system and device functionality.

The security and communications systems are integrated with redundant computers and programmable logic control systems. This allows flexible operation through multiple local and central consoles that may be activated as needed. Life safety monitoring and evacuation systems are fiber connected and computer controlled for meeting Maryland State Fire Marshal and NFPA regulations.

Operator interfacing is through touch control terminals and graphic control panels. Site-wide communication is provided through multi-mode and single-mode fiber optic networks. Communication within buildings is through structured category and specialized cabling.

Our security and wireless duress alarm designs were featured on National Geographic’s “MegaStructures” television program as the “most advanced security in the United States”. Our high security fencing and perimeter design is considered the “Best-Practice” model throughout the world.
