KAUST concurrence is requested for the proposed location of extra cameras on Wadis.
Referring to the meeting held on 12 August 2014 for review of the revised IFC for security and communications, it was decided that the under fence penetration at the Wadi Wesami and Wadi Khulais can be controlled by installing steel grills and crash rated bollards and installing the PTZ cameras on the sides of flood channel to control/ monitor the openings on the downstream side of the culvert. Cameras shall be removed from the top of guard houses for these wadis. Live monitoring of possible intrusion through culvert cells could be done from any station on the IP based network.
While Flood Control Channel project is handling the arrangements for Wadi Wesami; steel grills and crash rated bollards at Wadi Khulais shall be installed by the KPSS project. The above said arrangements shall be made in addition to the IDAS passing over both the culverts, keeping in view that the project security follows the following design principles;
1.	Agreed upon scope of work.
2.	Designed as a Class 4 facility with Category 1 fencing system, adhering with the HCIS as much as possible where local conditions permit.
3.	Designed keeping in view the orders given in the royal decree.
4.	The latest design also includes the changes made to the scope of work at later stages specifically the deletion of the ditch from the security corridor.
A sketch of the proposed location of PTZ cameras is being attached for KAUST concurrence.
Should you have any questions, please contact Dr. Ahmed S. Khogeer, Senior Project Engineer (A) on (012) 422 4423.
