RADAR & VIDEO INTEGRATION
PORT FREEPORT WATERSIDE PERIMETER PROTECTION PROJECT
Prime  Consultant  and  chief engineer for the Port’s  integrated radar/AIS, video (Verint/Nextiva), access control (Amag) intrusion detection project.  Key components of the project included two radar towers with auto target tracking PTZ cameras connected via Cisco Microwave Line of Sight Wireless to a central concentration point then aggregated into a 50 megabit backbone microwave for the Verint/Nextiva system integration, encompassing a 6 square mile harbor area and 15 mile anchorage.  Project definition, estimation, design and contract acquisition executed like clockwork. Tight bid response included credible contractor proposals below the  engineering estimate. $2.6MM construction completed in August, 2008 ahead of grant deadlines with less than 5% change orders.  Optimized quality and ROI was achieved by providing construction management RPR services.
