After September 11th and the subsequent anthrax attacks, we have become concerned of a potential large-scale issue. At the risk of sounding like an alarmist it is important that we all take a moment to reflect on how, if at all, we are vulnerable to a terrorist attack. With these issues growing in intensity daily, it is prudent to assess the way we currently operate our facilities.

After attending the security summit in Baltimore with members of Homeland Security, reports and warnings point to the possibility of a bio-chemical terrorist attack using the air duct distribution system to inflict mass destruction within our buildings. Main Enterprises, Inc., is taking this threat very seriously. The following steps are being implemented by our firm to provide a higher level of security and protection:

  • We have designed and developed the “SE-EL” system, which is an acronym for September 11th. This system is designed to provide a first line of protection against the introduction and distribution of destructive agents by way of the HVAC system. With the installation of our fast acting duct closure devices placed in strategic locations and employedby use of special monitoring and pull stations, our system prevents the transmission of the contaminant. The SE-EL system also notifiesemergency personnel and identifies the faulted area for the safety of first responders.

  • All our employees will have company picture identification cards. This will ensure that the people working on your air systems are employed by our company. This ensures that only authorized personnel will be working in and around your distribution systems.

  • All of our in-house designs will provide for, when possible, any exterior air inlet ducts to be in secured areas.

  • Our engineering staff is providing a consulting service to identify the vulnerable areas where an intentional or accidental introduction of anthrax or any bio-chemical attack can enter your building through theair duct system. Along these lines we can design and implement our latest technology for the protection of you and your tenants, occupants or employees.

Since 1919, Main Enterprises, Inc., has been the innovator in the mechanical field; this current situation is a very unfortunate one. Nonetheless, as Americans, we must protect our freedoms while being vigilant to provide for safety in our workplace.
