The Design-Build Institute of America (DBIA) New York Tri-State Metro Region has honored the Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission (DRJTBC) with a Project of the Year Award. DVTel Inc. provided the command control software solution for the $22.6 million security project.
The extensive security project involves installing surveillance cameras at 18 bridges to detect and manage traffic problems and public safety issues. The DRJTBC is a bi-state transportation agency that owns, operates, and maintains 20 vehicular and pedestrian bridges along 140 miles of the Delaware River between Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
Each year DBIA honors people and projects in design-build through a variety of awards. These awards recognize successful design-build projects in the United States where the design and construction aspects are contracted for with a single entity.
DVTel, Mass Electric Construction Co., Siemens Industry, and MATE teamed up to design, furnish, construct, install, integrate and maintain a fully operational electronic surveillance and detection system to include video surveillance, intelligent video, building access control, intrusion detection, a central control center, and communications systems for video and data transmissions. DVTel supplied its intelligent Security Operations Center (iSOC) to provide for single operation of the entire system.
“DVTel is proud to be part of the award-winning DRJTBC security project,” says the company’s president and CEO, Eli Gorovici. “DVTel is committed to delivering an open-platform solution with a successful track record for safeguarding critical infrastructure, of which this project exemplifies.”
