Rely on our experienced team to create an effective environmental design for your facility.
Environmental design is a critical part of your security strategy for many reasons. Whether it’s a commercial structure, a public venue, or something else, the right design makes all the difference. However, to ensure the best impact, that design needs to be created by an experienced team, such as ours at Mike Fenton & Associates Security Consulting in the York Region, Ontario area.
A well-planned environmental design might include natural elements that serve as deterrents against potential security risks. For example, strategically placed thorny shrubs or tall fences can dissuade anyone seeking unauthorized access onto your property. Additionally, natural surveillance, such as window positioning and lighting, can improve security by increasing visibility and discouraging criminal behaviour.
Environmental design is also an important factor in managing access to your facility. This involves the arrangement of entrances and exits, the placement of barriers such as gates or bollards, and the design of landscaping features to direct pedestrian or vehicular traffic flow. By carefully evaluating access points and traffic patterns, security threats can be reduced, and unlawful entrance can be efficiently avoided.
Our team has over 40 years of experience in the industry, and we focus on crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED) when assisting our clients. CPTED concepts stress creating an environment to discourage criminal conduct while promoting safety. By incorporating CPTED concepts into the environmental design process, we can proactively address security concerns and reduce potential risks.
