IntegralRSG staff (while at a previous firm) led specialty engineering and consulting efforts to address design compliance with Interagency Security Committee standards for a Facility Security Level IV designation. The completed technical work focused heavily around performance-based engineering to address various improvised explosive device and hostile vehicle attack threat scenarios as well as structural resilience requirements centered around disproportionate collapse resistance. Leveraging an integrated design approach, holistic and unobtrusive risk management solutions were evolved to best minimize programmatic, functional, and aesthetic impacts.

The MBJ-IntegralRSG team was later engaged to lead Construction Administration services related to performance-specified blast hardening of building enclosure systems. MBJ was instrumental in efforts to troubleshoot installation difficulties and quality issues related to blast-resistant curtain wall systems to preserve alignment with ISC standard expectations, working closely with the GSA, Neumann Monson, and Ryan Companies. The effort included close coordination with the window manufacturer/installer to complete independent technical and risk assessments of affected assemblies to streamline approval of delegated design engineering calculations.
