NYC Building Deploys BPSI’s Chemical Detection System

The Building Protection Systems, Inc. (BPSI) announced on Tuesday the successful installation of their Building Sentry One™ Chemical Detection System at an undisclosed downtown Manhattan landmark building. The system was implemented to protect the building’s tenants from a targeted terrorist attack or accidental release of toxic industrial chemicals.

The multi-sensor platform was seamlessly integrated into the existing Building Management System (BMS) and security platform, protecting a majority of its existing infrastructure.

BPSI is a leader in reliable automated toxin protection life-safety systems for public spaces, mass transit stations, and buildings. Their products are Qualified Anti-Terrorist Technologies with the capacity to quickly and reliably detect, identify and isolate toxic chemicals in the air.

Greg Eiler, President at BPSI, compared implementation of the chemical detection system to the early adopters of building sprinkler systems. It was not until the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire in NYC in 1911 that finally prompted business owners to implement sprinkler systems.
