EXPERTISE
At PEC, we strive to make the world safer from acts of terrorism, high-consequence accidents, and natural disasters.
We provide comprehensive services in the areas of protective design, research and testing, modeling and simulation, physical security, and data science. Our interdisciplinary team of engineers, scientists, and security professionals stand ready to tackle the hard problems facing our clients.
We solve problems through an understanding of the mechanics and dynamics of conventional and developmental materials subjected to extraordinary events and loads.
We use that expertise in partnerships with:
Architects, Engineers, Constructors and Contractors
In building designs and retrofits.
Safety and Security Professionals
in multi-hazard studies and assessments.
Industry
in the development of new materials and protective systems for hazard mitigation and personnel protection.
Government
in research and criteria development.
Protective Design
We support architects and engineers in protective design against blast and other extreme loads from terrorism events, industrial accidents, and natural disasters. Our design goals are to provide cost-efficient solutions, preserve aesthetics and function, and maximize protection. We accomplish that by combining our understanding of protection guidelines with early design team coordination.
Applied Research
Whether for vehicles, buildings, or critical infrastructure, our engineers continue to innovate through applied research and technology development. We have established expertise in computational modeling for complex problems involving extreme loading environments, and we routinely lead testing efforts of all sizes to help our clients develop new materials, structures, and systems.
Data Science
PEC offers the unique ability to work at the intersection of advanced engineering problems and cutting-edge data science methods. Our team of experts has decades of engineering design and research experience coupled with an understanding of machine learning and artificial intelligence. We bridge the gap between complex engineering problems and state-of-the-art data science.
Physical Security
Using a holistic approach, we help create environments that allow people to focus more on their activities than their surroundings. Our security consultants assist clients in determining and understanding their security risks and implementing security technology, staff, procedures, and training that is right-sized to their specific needs.
Risk Mitigation
We help our clients define and meet their risk objectives for credible security threats and postulated hazards. We leverage boots-on-the-ground experience, knowledge of industry criteria, and a deep bench of tools to quantify vulnerabilities, devise mitigation measures, and develop seamless integration strategies for projects of all types and sizes.
