APPENDIX B
SECURITY AND BLAST
1
Introduction
1.1
The National Environment Agency (NEA), hereon will be referred to as the Agency
seeks to engage the services of a Security and Blast Consultant (henceforth termed as the
S&B Consultant) to study into the proposal of using the Route #1 and 4 in Appendix A as
temporary access routes to the 68 ha Tuas View Basin site. The study shall take into
consideration the operational and security concerns of Tuas Power Generation Pte Ltd and
any other nearby facilities (henceforth term as the Facility) that may be affected by the
development of these temporary accesses
2
General Requirements
2.1
The S&B Consultant is to develop effective security solutions to meet the security
objectives set out for all nearby facilities. The baseline security objective for critical
infrastructures is to assure the adequate protection and sustenance of critical assets and
functions.
2.2
In the process of developing the security solutions, the S&B Consultant shall work
closely with the project consultants, facility owners and their representatives, relevant
authorities and agencies as well as any other relevant persons to integrate security planning
and solutions in the Facilitys daily operations.
2.3
The S&B Consultant is expected to attend relevant meetings and/or present its
findings to the Agency or to any other relevant Authorities as and when instructed by the
Agency to do so. The S&B Consultant shall furnish documentation and information
pertaining to the security assessments and solutions proposed.
2.4
Should the Agency not accept any of the submissions prepared by the S&B
Consultant, they shall make the necessary revisions, undertake further analyses and/or
provide additional information required so as to satisfy the Agencys requirements. These
additions and/or amendments shall then be consolidated and incorporated into a fresh
submission that shall be prepared and re-submitted for acceptance.
2.5
The S&B Consultant shall be subject to the Official Secrets Act. They shall not
disclose or release to any persons or otherwise deal with the same in any manner
whatsoever without the Agencys written consent, as all information relating to this project
shall vest in and be the absolute property of the Agency. The S&B Consultant shall
safeguard any information collected and return and/or delete all information
collected/processed at the end of the contract in accordance with the Agencys instructions.
3
Process Requirements
3.1
Risk Assessment (RA)
3.1.1 The S&B Consultant shall carry out a RA on all nearby facilities. The findings shall
be submitted to the Agency in a RA Report. Please refer to Annex S&B_A for the baseline
requirements for the RA. For threat scenarios involving IEDs and explosive weapons, the
S&B Consultant shall support the analysis in accordance with the requirements stipulated in
Annex S&B_B, in order to assess the Risk of each scenario.
3.1.2 After submission of the RA Report, the S&B Consultant shall provide necessary
clarifications and justifications to support the assessment and obtain the Agencys
55
acceptance of the report. After all clarifications and requests for information have been
satisfactorily met and accepted by the Agency, the S&B Consultant shall update the RA
Report with the necessary amendments, clarifications and supporting information for
resubmission.
3.2
Pre-Final Security Plan
3.2.1 The S&B Consultant shall prepare and submit to the Agency a Pre-Final Security
Plan (PFSP) which proposes security measures to address the Risks surfaced in the RA.
Where security measures are required, these measures can be in the form of structural,
operational or technological measures. The S&B Consultant shall propose only necessary
and essential security features. For the technical standards that selected security measures
have to adhere to in terms of the analysis or performance outcome, please refer to Annex
S&B_C. While these measures do not have to include all eventual details, they should
possess sufficient detail for the Agency and its assigned representatives to evaluate the
effectiveness of the proposed measures. For a description of the baseline expected level of
detail, please refer to Annex S&B_D.
3.2.2 In the PFSP, the S&B Consultant shall recommend a comprehensive suite of security
measures to address all the Risks, as determined from the RA, faced by the nearby facilities
that prevent the stated baseline security objectives from being achieved. The exact
combination of structural, physical and operational measures shall be calibrated according to
the Risks posed by the various threat scenarios and the criticality of the Asset in question.
The S&B Consultant shall also illustrate the reduction of Risk achieved in each case by
updating the Risk levels contained within the RA should the recommended measures be
implemented.
3.2.3 In the development of security measures, the S&B Consultant shall ensure that the
security measures do not contravene prevailing statutory requirements, codes or guidelines
published by government authorities. If special exemption has to be sought from any
government authority to implement any particular security measure, the S&B Consultant
shall make the necessary submissions, and obtain in-principle approval from the relevant
authority before submitting the PFSP to the Agency.
3.2.4 After submission of the PFSP, the S&B Consultant shall provide necessary
clarifications and justifications as required by the Agency to support their assessment and
obtain the Agencys acceptance of the PFSP. After all clarifications and requests for
information have been satisfactorily met and accepted by the Agency, the S&B Consultant
shall update the PFSP with the necessary amendments, clarifications and supporting
information and resubmit to the Agency.
3.2.5 It is expected that the preparation of the Final Security Plan would require in-depth
and at times, discussions as well as close scrutiny of the measures and various options. The
S&B Consultant is thus advised to cater the necessary resources to meet the service quality
requirements spelt out in Section 5: Service Quality.
3.3
Final Security Protection Plan (FSP)
3.3.1 The S&B Consultant shall prepare the Final Security Protection Plan (FSP) which
provides all the necessary detail for the implementation of the approved security measures.
This includes all necessary certifications, test data, calculations and drawings relevant to all
affected facilities. The FSP shall also include a summary table of the security measures to
be implemented. Please refer to Annex S&B_E for detailed descriptions.
3.3.2 After submission of the FSP, the S&B Consultant shall provide necessary
clarifications and justifications to support their recommendations and obtain the Agencys
56
acceptance. After all clarifications and requests for information have been satisfactorily met
and accepted by the Agency, the S&B Consultant shall update the FSP with the necessary
amendments, clarifications and supporting information and resubmit it to the Agency.
3.3.3 The S&B Consultant shall work with the Agencys appointed representatives to
incorporate the final security measures into the relevant project plans for submission to the
relevant authorities (such as URA, BCA, LTA, EMA, MPA, MHA, NPARKS etc) for approval
in accordance with prevailing statutory and legislative requirements.
3.4

BASELINE REQUIREMENTS FOR RISK ANALYSIS
1
Introduction
1.1
The RA is an important step in the security review. A well prepared RA would allow
the Agency to understand the key Risks that the Facility faces so that effective measures
may be taken to address those Risks. A well prepared RA is comprehensive in its coverage,
robust in its assessment and succinct in the report of findings.
2
Key Input Parameters
2.1
There are two key input parameters that the S&B Consultant is required to consider.
i.
Threat Definition. Where it is necessary, MHA, through the Agency,

will provide a baseline threat definition that the S&B Consultant shall
use in the RA. The S&B Consultant is free to propose to the Agency,
additional threats that are deemed to be relevant to the project based
on the specific typology and functionality of the nearby facilities being
reviewed, as well as its site-specific characteristics. For an indicative
list of the threats to be considered, please refer to Table 1 at the end
of this Annex. The actual list of baseline threats to be considered for
the nearby facilities will be provided to the S&B Consultant upon
award of tender and successful security clearance of the S&B
Consultants team members. In addition, if any of the nearby facilities
is a National Critical Infrastructure/Key Installation, MHA, through
the Agency, will also provide a further list of Baseline threats that shall
be considered.
ii.
Asset Definition. The S&B Consultant shall work with the Agency to
identify the Assets critical to meeting the security objectives stated.
The critical assets functions, distribution and location within the facility
shall also be identified and clearly indicated1.
In general, these assets could be physical assets and/or human assets.

60
Risk Assessment Methodology
3.1
There is no preference for any particular methodology as long as it is relevant to the
nature of the assessment to be done and the S&B Consultant is able to clearly demonstrate
ability and experience in applying the methodology. As a general guide, the methodology
employed should be able to express the Risks faced by the Assets in terms of, minimally, the
threat considerations, the impact of a successful attack, the relative importance of the
defined Assets, the attractiveness of the target and Assets, and any site-specific
weaknesses that may be exploited. The methodology should also allow for the clear and
concise presentation and prioritisation of Risks.
3.2
However, in carrying out the Risk analysis, the S&B Consultant shall NOT merely
carry out a facility-level analysis. Instead, the S&B Consultant shall develop and assess
various types of plausible threat scenarios at the sub-facility level2. For each threat
scenario, the S&B Consultant shall make a robust and soundly supported assessment of the
Risks faced by the Assets using its proposed methodology. In assessing each threat
scenario, the S&B Consultant may take into account typical security features found in the
type of facility being studied or features that have been incorporated in the design of the
nearby facilities3. The S&B Consultant shall NOT take into account any feature that is not
inherent in the preliminary design or that has not obtained the Agencys approval. For threat
scenarios involving IEDs and explosive weapons, the S&B Consultant shall support the
analysis with the relevant facts, figures, quantitative and qualitative data as derived from
calculations, computer simulations, actual tests, and literature research, etc, as per Annex C,
in order to assess the Risk of each scenario.
4
Presentation of Results and Recommendations
4.1
The presentation of results shall be clear and concise to aid decision making. The
S&B Consultant shall clearly indicate the Risks faced by the Assets to each threat scenario.
The S&B Consultant shall also clearly differentiate the Risks according to their level of risk.
The results shall also be presented in a form that will subsequently show a clear relationship
between the introduction of additional security measures and the reduction of Risk for
individual threat scenarios, on individual Assets.
4.2
Finally, the S&B Consultant shall make a preliminary4 recommendation on the Risks
to be mitigated through either further refinements to the building design or through additional
security measures. Depending on the methodology employed, the basis for the preliminary
recommendation could be on the level of risk, cost effectiveness, the security concept
employed, etc.
The sub-facility analysis would represent threat scenarios at the various locations within the facility
where the Assets may be at Risk. For example, a VBIED at the vehicle drop-off point, a CB attack
using the ventilation system at a particular air intake point, etc.
3
For example, the consultant should take into account the envisaged operational flow of the facility,
e.g. whether it is open to public access, whether there will be screening conducted on vehicles or
persons entering the premises, and whether there will be security clearance for personnel working in
the premises etc.
4
This is a preliminary recommendation as the final recommendation contained in the Final Security
Plan would necessarily depend on the implications of the security measures recommended. Note that
this requires only an identification of Risks to be mitigated rather than the recommendation of security
solutions which would be made in the Pre-Final Security Plan.

62
ANNEX S&B_B
REQUIREMENTS FOR ANALYSIS OF EFFECTS OF EXPLOSIVE LOADS
1
When an analysis of explosive effects on structures and the structural response is
required, the S&B Consultant shall use:
a) methodologies and guidelines defined in Unified Facilities Criteria UFC 3-34002 (5 December 2008), Protective Design Center PDC-TR 06-02 (12
September 2006), and PDC-TR 06-08 (20 October 2006); and/or
b) methodologies and guidelines defined in other established codes and/or
literature, provided that a complete copy of the codes/literature used is made
available to the Agency wherever possible and that relevant sections of the
codes/literature used in the analysis are clearly pointed out; and/or
c) results from actual blast tests, provided that the tests are conducted with
equal or higher blast loads on test subjects similar to the analysed structural
elements and that full information of the tests are made available to the
Agency wherever possible; and/or
d) numerical modeling and simulation, provided that the numerical model is
validated with results of actual blast tests conducted on equivalent structural
components.
2.
The analysis of structural components against explosive loads shall include the
following information:
a) Derivation of the explosive loads (free-field, reflected and/or confined),
b) Physical dimensions, reinforcement details (for reinforced concrete
components), and material properties of the structural components,
c) The ductile mode response (i.e. flexure, diagonal and direct shear) of the
structural components due to air blast and ground shock,
d) The brittle mode response (i.e. spalling, breaching and cratering) of the
structural components due to air blast and ground shock,
Where the explosive effects are deemed to affect the defined Assets, the analysis shall
include the following information:
a) the effects of blast overpressures on the Assets,
b) the effects of fragmentation on the Assets, and
c) the effects of explosion-resultant fireballs on the Assets.
The Agency reserves the right to request for additional information and clarification from the
S&B Consultant on the methodologies used in the analysis of structural components against
blast loads.
