SCG team members provided the security risk, planning, and bid design services as part of the Macquarie Bank team for the Singapore Sports Hub, which was to be constructed on a 35.6ha waterfront site, over the area occupied by the former national stadium and the surrounding car parks.

The main feature of the Sports Hub was an iconic national stadium with seating for 55,000 and a retractable roof suited to the hosting of major events such as the South-east Asia Games and the Asian Games.

The security planning and engineering of the project was a major focus of the Singapore Government, with the brief requirements extending well beyond those traditionally included in sporting facilities.

In response, SCG team members undertook the security risk assessment, planning and engineering design, with a strong emphasis on the use of advanced, yet reliable, technologies and the balance of these with the physical arrangements and management structure.

SCG team members provided the communications and security planning and engineering services for the design, documentation and contract administration of the 17,000 seat Perth Arena.

In addition, the services provided included the preparation of the Security Risk Assessment and Security Management Plan for the Operator of the arena.

Dubai Sports City is the world’s first purpose-built sports city, which includes the following facilities:

• 25,000 seat cricket arena, expandable to 30,000 seats.
• 10,000 seat multi-purpose indoor entertainment centre and stadium for basketball, indoor hockey, volleyball, handball, netball, and ice hockey, and
• 60,000 seat outdoor multi-purpose arena, which was constructed to approximately 30% completion before the project was stopped post GFC

The venues were each designed by German architect von Gerkan, Marg & Partners, with an SCG team member providing the role of Project Director during the procurement and construction phases and leading a project delivery team which included architecture, civil and structural engineering, building services, security design and construction administration services.

The services were delivered to the specifications of the global governing bodies for the relevant sports to host major events in football, cricket, rugby, golf, field hockey, tennis and other sports, however, the designs required substantial modification for compliance with local codes and cultural sensitivities.

SCG was appointed to undertake the SCEC security design works for the upgrade to the Systems Training School and Bridge Simulator buildings located at HMAS Watson, to meet the requirements for a PSPF compliant Zone 4 area.

This included hardening of the existing building structure, perimeter and internal walls and replacement of existing and provision of new compliant entry and fire doors.

The existing site-wide Electronic Access Control System (EACS) was extended to cover both new and existing doors in the buildings with the existing Type 1 Security Alarm System (SAS) upgraded in the Systems Training School building with a new Type 1 SAS provided to the Bridge Simulator building.

SCG provided design and documentation detailing both the physical security hardening and electronic security works as well as providing certification of the installed Type 1 SAS.
