(OMAHA, Neb. - September 5, 2006) - Lockheed Martin announced the team that will present the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) with a Secure Border Initiative (SBInet) solution. The SBInet program is a comprehensive multi-year plan to secure America’s 6,000 miles of borders by bringing together a balanced mix of people, processes, technology and infrastructure to gain full operational control of the country's borders. The solution was shaped by the eight companies, including HDR, each chosen for specific expertise in areas relevant to homeland and border security.
HDR's role on the SBInet Team includes site planning, facility planning and design, infrastructure design, environmental analysis and management of facilities and infrastructure project(s). HDR has significant experience in supporting Homeland Security requirements, having designed several Border Patrol Stations and Sector Headquarters on both the northern and southern borders.

HDR also designed the Border Patrol Station and Port of Entry Training Facility for the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC) in Glynco, Georgia.
