The project consisted of fast-tracked security upgrades required by the NRC at the Oyster Creek Nuclear Plant. Jingoli designed and built a 6,400-square-foot Security Access Building, incorporating a blast-resistant structural design with integral vehicle barrier walls, and a new sally port to the expanded Protected Area. Security systems incorporated into the design included microwave, infrared, X-ray, radiation detection, explosive detection, CCTV cameras, locking turnstiles with access card readers, and more.

We also designed and built a new Security Vehicle Checkpoint, including new access roads, a parking lot, nine acres of tree clearing, all site improvements, 16,500 SY of paved roadways, a new guardhouse, detention gates, active vehicle gates, CCTV cameras, lighting, and more.

Jingoli also erected of seven welded steel blast-resistant guard towers. Specially-designed foundations required more than 50 four-inch diameter steel anchor rods up to 60 feet long grouted into the subsoil and tension tested.

Other project highlights included:

• The towers, up to 60 feet tall, were erected inside the Protected Area while normal plant operations continued
• Design/build of a new CCTV perimeter camera system including lighting, controls, recording systems, and more; a major expansion of the microwave system, including more than 80 new devices and 10 miles of conduit, along with its incorporation into new and existing security intruder detection systems; and a new 2,800 sf hydrogen unloading and storage facility, including 1,000 feet of piping
• Defensive guard positions incorporating bullet-resistant steel panels installed on several buildings inside the Protected Area
• Specially-designed barriers installed across waterways to limit marine access
• Installation of more than 6,000 feet of vehicle barriers and 4,500 tons of stone
• Five active vehicle gates installed in critical areas of plant access

All project work was completed in five months.
