Security Technology Upgrade Project

Security Technology Upgrade Project at Choice Lifestyle Estate

Physical Risk was engaged by Schonenberg Estate (Somerset West) to assess, purpose-design and project manage the upgrade of its existing electrified fencing system intended to effectively mitigate prevailing threats commonly associated with lifestyle estates in the Western Cape region of South Africa. Physical Risk’s engagement response was structured to address the refurbishment of existing fencing system and technological upgrade to optimise the advantages of modern-day fencing system solutions in a cost-effective manner:

Develop a technical specification report to be utilised as a comprehensive installation requirement for those installers invited by Schonenberg Estate for interest to repair and improve the existing electrified fencing system to effectively protect the Estate’s entire perimeter against criminal breach attempts.

Brief installers on the details of the approved technical specification, adjudicate and appoint a successful contractor.

Perform with the physical project management in terms of the technical specification requirements to ensure that the installer delivers on each of their installation commitments in terms of time, cost, quality and performance.

In addition, we thought it prudent to purpose-develop the following for Schonenberg Estate to ensure that its best interest was kept at heart:

Technology upgrade service level agreement to protect the Estate against risks associated with technology installation projects and ensure preferred service delivery.

A comprehensive preventative maintenance service agreement with amongst other, call-out specifics, warranties, maintenance and component replacement schedules specified.

A very comprehensive request for proposal process with pre-qualification, supplier briefing, adjudication criteria and synopsis of the process well documented for future use.

We remain proud to be associated with Schonenberg Estate and we look forward to making it even safer for residents and visitors alike. Our congratulations and appreciation for the professional manner in which Schonenberg Estate Management and Security Sub-committee have approached this project and their interaction with our consultants.
