Security Solutions NW honored for work on Peace Arch crossing in Blaine

Sep 01, 2010 (The Bellingham Herald - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- Security Solutions NW of Bellingham recently was honored for its work on the largest project in the company's 106-year history: the new Peace Arch Port of Entry in Blaine.

Security Solutions NW provided design, installation and programming services for the building as well as the primary and secondary inspection lanes at the Peace Arch, the third-busiest border crossing along the U.S. northern border.

The company was responsible for integrating hundreds of devices, including cameras, audio recording equipment, intrusion detection and access proximity card systems. It also installed more than 20 miles of cabling, which totaled more than $600,000, as part of its year-long work.

Security Solutions NW earned the $120 million project's outstanding achievement award, determined by general contractor JE Dunn Construction Co. and the U.S. General Services Administration, for performing with an exceptional level of accuracy while adhering to project timelines.

"We're honored to have been selected for such an integral part of this project, especially since security requirements for border crossings have risen significantly since 9/11," said Jamie Vos, general manager of Security Solutions NW. "Now that we've proven we're capable of handling such high-level projects, this will open doors for us to work on other high-profile and complex projects." Security Solutions NW and its retail arm, Bellingham Lock & Safe, provide a full range of locksmithing, hardware, alarm systems, surveillance systems, fire and life safety services and keyless entry systems at 1619 N. State St. For more information, call (360) 734-4940 or visit securitysolutionsnw.com.
