Project Overview
Professional Systems Engineering (PSE) was engaged by Travis County to provide for replacement and upgrades to existing control systems and detention hardware several housing facilities at the Travis County Correctional Complex and Jail. PSE provided design and engineering services to deliver cutting edge results on which all future control system work throughout Travis County is now being based.
These projects included multiple facilities housing maximum security male and female inmates and medium security male inmates. Services for these multiple facilities required the upgrade and replacement of three master control centers, eleven local control stations, intercom and paging systems, and detention hardware. Our design services enabled the Travis County to save over $200,000 and receive state-of-the-art control system that are non-proprietary, easy to maintain, and provided a safe and secure environment at each facility.
