PSSA Newsletter - December 2018

ISSUE 21 December 2018 | NEWS – 15 – PSSA Member News StadiumTM marks its 250th HVM Solution deployment Just under a year ago PSSA member StadiumTM introduced its HVM Solutions Service. The company o er a bespoke package which allows organisers the opportunity to hire HVM solutions, which includes all aspects of installation and removal. Over the past year, the service has grown in demand and October saw the company’s 250th deployment at the NFL at Wembley. The very rst deployment was at Burnley FC in November of last year. Event spaces are becoming increasingly versatile and multifunctional. Stadiums are being granted permission to host music events in addition to their sporting xtures and public areas are hosting community events, often in a closed roadway. StadiumTM has deployed to a variety of high-pro le locations and events and have also provided HVM to its existing long-term clients. David McAtamney, Managing Director said,“It has been a personal mission to integrate HVM into the overall events services package. Since 2016, when the threat of Vehicle as aWeapon attacks became very apparent, we felt a moral obligation for the company to pursue this route as StadiumTM through road closures in e ect create crowded spaces which in turn requires protecting.” According to StadiumTM, the service it supplies is unique and the company is currently a nalist in three awards, both regionally and nationally. The HVM Solutions team has been recognised and is shortlisted for Counter-Terrorism Project of the Year by the Security & Fire Excellence Awards. David McAtamney concluded, “StadiumTM is extremely proud of the work we carry out - here’s to the next 250 deployments and beyond!” StadiumTM o er a bespoke package which allows organisers the opportunity to hire HVM solutions BIM session held at TSP Birmingham 14/11/18 The recent BIM workshop hosted on behalf of the PSSA by TSP Projects at their Birmingham o ce proved to be a highly informative and educational event. An imaginative series of presentations and activities delivered by James Holland of TSP and intended to expand the depth of knowledge in areas of BIM and included several exemplar uses of real time data and asset libraries by organisations such as F1 racing teams and large retail organisations. The audience were even treated to a hands on exercise using Lego (belong to James's children apparently) to simulate the use of asset data libraries in a HVM/Security environment. Delegates were also given sight of the results of CPNI's industry engagement on BIM and data security which is intended to form an anticipated CPNI guide to industry on the subject. The overall message from the day was that BIM is here to stay, it is already a requirement of Government funded projects, level 3 requirements are coming and in order to stay competitive with domestic and foreign competitors, now is the time to get on board!
