Assessing potential threats or risks in projects
Comprehensive analysis of physical, cyber, natural or human threats that may affect the project during the design, implementation or operation stages and based on that, providing protective measures.
Passive defense
Smart prevention, maximum resilience
In today's world, where civil infrastructure is more vulnerable than ever to natural, human, and technological threats, passive defense, as one of the most effective preventive engineering tools, has a special place in the design and implementation process of projects. This approach, without using military measures and relying solely on engineering logic and risk management, seeks to identify potential threats before they occur, reduce their effects, and significantly increase the resilience of structures and systems.
At Arman Bana Eshraq Company, with an analytical and systematic approach, we consider passive defense not only as a requirement, but also as part of our professional responsibility in protecting national assets and human lives.
Passive defense in the emergence and identification of designs
Considering passive defense requirements is one of the first steps in project identification and definition to ensure that the design structure is designed to be inherently resilient and sustainable.
Technical road structures including bridges, tunnels and underpasses
Design and implementation of road side structures to cross natural and human obstacles, while complying with structural, geotechnical and safe operation requirements in various conditions.
Passive defense operational plans
Designing scenarios, actions, and implementation checklists to deal with actual threats, including crisis management, service continuity, and rapid response in emergency situations.
Providing solutions, requirements and considerations
Preparing a set of localized recommendations and standards appropriate to the nature of the project, geographical location, type of assets, and anticipated risks to implement preventive measures.
Passive defense operational planning
Designing the executive structure, management processes, roles and responsibilities for the effective implementation of passive defense requirements throughout the life of the project.
Asset management, leveling, dependency analysis
شناسایی داراییهای کلیدی (فنی، فیزیکی، انسانی)، تعیین سطح اهمیت آنها و بررسی ارتباطات و وابستگیهای داخلی و خارجی که ممکن است بر پایداری سیستم اثرگذار باشند.
Systems planning and management to reduce threats and risks
Establish a management framework and system structures to control, monitor, and respond to threats, especially in sensitive or infrastructure projects.
Estimate and evaluate the risk, threats, vulnerability or consequences of the project
Modeling and analyzing various risks based on the probability of occurrence and severity of consequences, with the aim of making accurate decisions in allocating protective resources and reducing possible damage.
A link between safety engineering and risk management
Passive defense is a strategic concept of a technical nature that is based on the integration of two main areas of structural safety engineering and project risk management. This approach includes not only external threats such as cyber attacks, sabotage or war risks, but also natural hazards such as earthquakes, floods, fires or even power outages and system malfunctions in its assessments. The use of quantitative risk assessment models, scenario analysis and asset hierarchy are among the tools that help engineers to provide resilient, intelligent and flexible designs.
From conceptual design to operational exploitation
One of the pillars of passive defense is to make infrastructure resilient to potential threats, not only from a structural perspective, but also from a functional and managerial perspective. This goal can only be achieved by incorporating passive defense into all phases of the project life cycle: from the conceptual design, which considers spatial, layout, and environmental safety requirements, to the construction phase, which covers material control, infrastructure communications, and critical escape routes, and finally, operation, which requires defining emergency response protocols, training personnel, and risk assessment over time.
Multi-layered threat analysis with a native approach
Identifying and categorizing potential threats (natural, human, technological) based on the climatic, geographical, political, and functional conditions of each project.
Integrated design with preventive safety principles
Integrate passive defense requirements into the design process of structures, facilities, and layouts to inherently reduce vulnerabilities without incurring additional costs.
Consequence modeling and operational risk analysis
Investigating and measuring the vulnerability of systems using consequence engineering models, and providing realistic solutions to reduce risk.
Developing operational scenarios and emergency response plans
Prepare action plans, crisis response guidelines, and anticipate decision-making structures for effective management of abnormal or critical situations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Passive defense is a preventive measure that is implemented before a crisis occurs to reduce the consequences of threats and damage. However, crisis management is applied after the incident occurs and includes response, relief and recovery. Passive defense consists of design, location, structure and protective systems.
Because many critical vulnerabilities in structures and infrastructure arise due to incorrect decisions at the initial design stage. By considering passive defense requirements at the very early stages, the safety, sustainability, and resilience of the project can be ensured at a much lower cost.
In infrastructure projects, sensitive facilities, service centers, urban projects, communication infrastructure, transportation, energy, water, public buildings, and key offices, compliance with passive defense principles in accordance with the guidelines of the country's Passive Defense Organization is mandatory or highly recommended.
No. If the principles of passive defense are applied at the right time (early design), they not only do not cost significantly, but they also prevent very costly damages in the future. In many cases, minor modifications in layout, materials or routes are sufficient.
Yes. Our specialized team, with a history of working in construction and infrastructure projects, provides services including threat assessment, vulnerability identification, operational plans, and development of passive defense technical requirements to employers, consultants, and implementers.
