Built for security and resilience
Secure facilities operate under strict requirements for access, safety, and continuity. Projects are often delivered within live environments where people, systems, and sensitive operations must remain protected at all times.
Leighs has experience across New Zealand with prisons, NZDF environments, airports and customs facilities, and overseas embassy work. We understand how to operate within layered security frameworks while maintaining clear communication, disciplined planning, and dependable delivery.
