CornerStone’s client required the development of an operational brief for a state-of-the-art Security Operations Centre to help manage security across a mixed-use, 20-acre commercial development in central London. The brief would then be issued to a Design and Build Contractor for development and construction. The Operations Centre was to be the hub for security operations operating in a Gold, Silver and Bronze command structure. The Operations Centre would have primary control and monitoring estate-wide and of the public realm while also coordinating with the local phase control rooms and external parties for business as usual and on incident management.
