In the current political climate across the world, the threat of terrorism is real and on-going. The primary role of SGW’s advisers is to provide competent unbiased counter terrorism security advice.

SGW’s specialist team offer advice and methodology to reduce physical damage to structural and non-structural components of buildings and related infrastructure, with the aim to reduce resultant casualties during conventional bomb attacks.

The identification of key threats is the first stage of any blast study for a new development. Explosion threat scenarios are typically specified in terms of an explosive charge weight at a standoff distance from the target structure.

SGW provides advice on best practice design for blast resistance and mitigation methods to reduce the risk of damage from bomb blasts. SGW works with architects to reduce these problem areas at the early concept design stage to assist building designers introduce appropriate mitigation countermeasures.

Chemical Biological Radiological nuclear (CBRN) risk assessment and design strategies to minimise the spread of toxic agents and resulting contamination are becoming increasingly requested, SGW provides a full range of services from risk assessment to the design of engineered mitigation solutions.
