Methodology
The project journey from need to maintenance
Understanding the need → Site assessment → Design & solution selection → Verification & testing → Procurement & installation → Handover & maintenance
01
Understanding the need
An initial conversation to understand the facility, objectives and constraints, without requesting sensitive information at this stage.
Output: Needs summary and initial scope
02
Site assessment
Studying the site, listing and prioritising assets, and reviewing operational constraints and safety requirements.
Output: Assessment report and zoning
03
Design and solution selection
Proposing options for each zone, developing them technically, and selecting suitable materials and suppliers.
Output: Conceptual design and compared options
04
Verification and testing
Coordinating prototypes, samples, testing and analysis with independent bodies where needed before application.
Output: Test plan and verification results
05
Procurement and installation
Procuring components and installing in phases, starting with priorities and coordinating with ongoing operations.
Output: Phased execution and documentation
06
Handover and maintenance
Documented handover and team training, followed by inspection, maintenance and upgrade programmes as the site evolves.
Output: Handover file and maintenance programme
Guiding principles
What guides decisions at every stage
Integration with site systems
Linking physical layers to existing detection, alarm and security management systems without obstructing firefighting and cooling.
Human decision
Any active system is studied on the basis that decisions remain with an authorised human operator, within the required permits.
Verification before application
No concept is applied before detailed design, independent testing and approval by the relevant authorities.

Discuss your facility's needs with ShieldMesh
Start with a general description of your need, and we will propose a path for studying the site and identifying suitable solutions. Please do not send drawings or sensitive security details through the public form.
