SAFETY Act Designation Awarded to Walter P Moore

Overview

Secure Design Services Recognized for Enhancing Safety and Reducing Risk

Walter P Moore has received a SAFETY Act Designation from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), formally recognizing the firm’s secure design services as a Qualified Anti-Terrorism Technology under the Support Anti-Terrorism by Fostering Effective Technologies (SAFETY) Act.

“This designation affirms our commitment to protecting the spaces where people gather. Security considerations must be part of every project’s design DNA—integrated from the earliest planning stages through construction. This recognition from DHS validates the rigor and reliability of our methodology.”

Walter P Moore has earned the SAFETY Act Designation for its comprehensive secure design services, distinguishing the firm as a leader in integrating security into the design and construction of critical infrastructure. This suite of services includes threat, vulnerability, and risk assessments (TVRAs), vehicle impact design, blast-resistant design, secure design mitigation, and construction administration. Our experts help design and construction decision-makers identify and address physical vulnerabilities to targeted threats, reduce liability, and improve the resilience and safety of critical infrastructure.

“Our process enables clients to reduce risk, validate the performance of vehicle barriers and other hardening systems, and ensure implementation integrity through construction oversight. This designation reflects the depth of our technical framework and our ongoing commitment to security-driven innovation.”

Established under the 2002 Homeland Security Act, the SAFETY Act promotes the development and use of effective anti-terrorism technologies by providing significant legal liability protections. Facility owners and operators who implement SAFETY Act-designated technologies benefit from capped liability, streamlined insurance considerations, and increased confidence in the performance and documentation of their security measures.

Walter P Moore’s secure design services are applicable across a range of public assembly venues, including sports stadiums, entertainment facilities, and convention centers; airports and transportation hubs; healthcare facilities; and government, manufacturing, and mission critical facilities.
