Multi-acre construction zone
3+ simultaneous phases supported
Fewer than three incidents across a multi-year timeline
Zero injuries among AAS personnel
Daily coordination with general contractor and city teams
The National Western Center redevelopment is one of Denver’s most significant multi-year construction initiatives. The site operated under constant change, with shifting work zones, multiple contractors, heavy equipment traffic, and boundaries adjacent to active public areas.
AAS supported the project with an adaptive security and operations model designed to evolve alongside construction activity—maintaining safety, access clarity, and documentation without slowing progress or disrupting schedules.
The environment required a team who understood:
- Active construction inside public-adjacent areas
- Daily changes to access points and restricted zones
- Fire and safety risks across evolving phases
- Coordination across multiple contractors and city stakeholders
- Compliance documentation and inspection readiness
To meet these demands, AAS delivered an operational approach that could:
- Maintain continuous fire watch coverage
- Adjust access control as construction phases shifted
- Support safe movement of workers, vendors, and equipment
- Monitor perimeters and inactive zones
- Communicate clearly with GC and city leadership
- Provide verifiable, time-stamped activity reporting
People
- Trained fire watch and safety professionals
- Access control staff managing gates and credentials
- Mobile patrol teams covering active and inactive areas
- On-site supervisors coordinating daily adjustments
Technology
- Cloud-based reporting and documentation
- GPS-verified patrol tracking
- Time-stamped activity and compliance logs
- Clear visibility for project and safety leadership
Operations & Coordination
- Fire watch and hazard observation
- Dynamic access control and badge verification
- Vehicle and foot patrols
- Perimeter and equipment monitoring
- Daily coordination with GC, logistics managers, and city officials
RESULTS EXPEREINCED
AAS supported a safe, well-coordinated construction environment across multiple phases without disrupting daily work. Construction and safety leadership reported smoother workflows, clearer communication around zone changes, and less time spent managing access and coordination issues.
Consistent reporting and steady communication improved inspection readiness and reduced friction between contractors—creating a more predictable rhythm for day-to-day operations on a complex, active site.
SAFETY & RELIABILITY
AAS maintained a clean safety record throughout the project, with zero injuries to personnel and fewer than three total incidents across a multi-year timeline, despite the scale and risk profile of the environment.
Large construction projects demand more than static security. This project demonstrates AAS’s ability to operate adaptively, communicate clearly, and support evolving construction phases without compromising safety or schedules.
For team members, this work represents hands-on experience within one of Denver’s most significant redevelopment efforts. For partners, it reinforces AAS’s ability to support complex construction timelines with discipline, accountability, and consistency.
