Sarah Vandevert

Senior Associate – Protective Design Specialist

Sarah thrives in collaborative environments where safety, functionality, and aesthetics weave together. She contributes to projects across federal and state government, healthcare, military installations, embassies, and transportation networks. Versed in blast engineering, physical security, explosives safety, progressive collapse mitigation, and forced-entry/ballistic resistance, Sarah navigates the most demanding risk environments with precision and foresight.

Beyond practice, she advances the field through research and thought leadership. Her current work explores how AI and machine learning can establish more objective, adaptable blast protection standards. Sarah shares her insights at international forums such as ISIEMS, MABS, and ICOSSAR, where she is helping shape the next generation of protective design.
