ASA has a long and proud tradition of security support to Power Utilities throughout the US. Several of our principal staff members spent most or all of their careers within the industry and bring with them a wealth of unique skills and experiences. We closely follow US Department of Energy (USDOE) directives and guidelines, and have assembled teams to address your specific security requirements.

ASA was the first in the nation to do the following:

• Complete the first detailed Consequence Analysis (CA) on a power plant.
• Accomplish a utility-wide CA in the electric power industry.
• First in the electric power industry to DEVELOP and IMPLEMENT a corporate critical infrastructure protection program and a new, consequence analysis based model security risk management.

  In addition, ASA has:

• DESIGNED/SPECIFIED and MANAGED the growth of a multimillion dollar integrated electromechanical security system comprised of access control, intrusion detection, mechanical security hardware and intelligent CCTV video systems.
• CONDUCTED SECURITY ASSESSMENTS on multiple major power generation facilities, combustion turbine plants, major transmission substations and switchyards, and all associated infrastructure, such as control centers and major administrative office complexes.
• REDUCED annual security personnel costs by $250K while improving security by using electronic security equipment as a force-multiplier. Also demonstrated potential annual savings of approximately $1M by further reducing security force size while enhancing security with technology.
• ACHIEVED direct savings of millions of dollars while greatly improving security by using electronic security equipment as a force-multiplier.
