by AF 0520 j5 — May 22, 2009—Honeywell has announced that the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) has selected the company to provide a perimeter intrusion detection system for 18 of the major venues that will be used during the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.
Under the $30.5-million contract, Honeywell is responsible for the installation, support and eventual removal of the system, which will help secure approximately 27 kilometers of event perimeter.
The system will consist of assessment and detection equipment mounted around the Olympic and Paralympic venues. When a potential disturbance is identified, alarms will activate allowing security personnel to respond quickly. Honeywell will also provide round-the-clock service support to ensure the system is fully operational at all times throughout the games.
Honeywell will start staging and testing the system immediately and install the equipment as the various venues come online. The system will encompass a wide range of locations, including diverse landscapes from mountain terrain to urban settings.
