The Benefits

Rapid Retrofit Deployment & Portability
What makes Phi’s SCIFs unique is their construction – the walls, floor and ceiling are constructed from composite layers of sound-proofing, insulation and metallic screening materials, sandwiched to produce panels, edged with steel, that are light enough to be portable and are designed to be assembled within an existing building, in a fraction of the time taken to build a traditional room.

They can be dismantled, packed flat for transportation and reassembled at a new location. Containers and vehicles such as trailers can also be converted into mobile SCIFs ready for fast deployment to any area where secure communications are necessary.

Complete, Flexible Solution
Using standard panel widths of 600mm, Phi’s SCIF units can be manufactured to any size required. Our security experts will work with you from the initial identification and analysis of a requirement through to the design and construction phases to ensure a turnkey solution customised to your specific needs.

They are supplied with air conditioning and ventilation. Lighting and power, computer and telephone connections can also be fitted as required. Our full range of communications options and optional extras ensures your requirements are fully met. A full service and repair contract is available, together with relocation support and assistance.

High Security
The component panels lock together to be impenetrable and are guarded by Phi’s high security, patent-pending door which will be furnished with a CDX-09 high security combination lock and a Trilogy 4100 day lock, concealed pivot hinges and door closure. Knife-edges and finger strips maintain the screening integrity.

Screening and Sound Attenuation
The multi-layered construction is TEMPEST compliant, blocking EMI and RF emanations to provide a high level of shielding and embedded sound masking and acoustical controls achieve a high level of sound attenuation with a rating of STC 45. Our facilities meet all US government requirements for specialised sensitive solutions and are designed to exceed DCID 6/9 and JAFAN 6/9.

Limited Construction Hassles
The component parts are manufactured at our ISO9001:2000 accredited factory in Cornwall and delivered to your site where they are assembled by Phi’s team of experts with the minimum of disruption. Because our SCIFs are not permanent structures, no planning permission is required and there is little or no need for construction plans, general contractors, building permits etc compared to the construction of a traditional SCIF.

Cost Savings
Phi’s high quality solutions are competitively priced, often less than the cost of a traditionally built room, provide EMP protection at no extra cost and, because they can be moved and reused when necessary, your investment is protected.
