Precinct Security
Transport precincts sit at the intersection of public access, operational complexity, and design ambition. Security advisory needs to work within multi-disciplinary design teams, tight programme timelines, and layered governance structures. That's what Core42 is built for.
The challenge
Where security meets the design programme
Transport security is not a standalone discipline. It intersects with architecture, civil engineering, communications, and operations, and the advisory has to reflect that.
Our role
How we work on transport projects
Threat and risk assessment calibrated to the corridor
HB167-aligned assessment grounded in site-specific crime data, demographic analysis, and current threat intelligence. Quantified risk positions that distinguish credible design basis threats from scenarios that don't warrant protective expenditure, preventing disproportionate measures from entering the design.
CPTED that works inside the design process
Sightlines, movement patterns, and natural surveillance translated into design parameters architects can implement. Not a compliance checklist filed separately, but a design input embedded within the security requirements document, so spatial guidance reaches designers as part of their brief.
Protective design specified to the actual threat
HVM, fencing, and perimeter treatments specified against credible scenarios, not worst-case assumptions. Performance specifications your structural engineers can design to, with treatment configurations derived from the threat assessment, not from generic standards applied without context.
Requirements tracked from risk to verification
Tracked requirements per project, each mapped to a security zone, assigned to a responsible discipline, and tracked with documented designer responses confirming compliance. Audit-ready at every gate, with clear evidence trails from risk identification through to design verification.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
What security input is needed during station design?
Four integrated inputs: a threat and risk assessment establishing design basis threats for the corridor; a CPTED analysis translating crime data into spatial design parameters; protective design specifications where the threat warrants physical treatments; and a requirements management process tracking each requirement to documented designer response. These inputs need to enter early enough to influence spatial decisions, not arrive as compliance review after the architecture is resolved.
How does Core42 integrate with alliance and consortium delivery models?
Core42 operates as an embedded security advisor within the design team, not as an external reviewer. We attend design coordination meetings, issue requirements directly to responsible disciplines, and track designer responses through each gate. Requirements are structured so that architects, electrical engineers, civil designers, and communications specialists each receive the requirements relevant to their discipline, with an Expected Evidence column specifying the design output required.
What is CPTED and why is it required for transport projects?
CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design) uses the design of the built environment to reduce crime and fear of crime. For station precincts, it is a core requirement. Effective CPTED translates crime data, sightlines, and movement patterns into spatial decisions architects can implement: natural surveillance through glazing and layout, territorial definition through level changes, and activity support through programme placement. The critical distinction is whether the analysis is embedded within the security requirements designers work from, or filed as a standalone report that gets lost during design development.
