CWS COMPLETES SECURITY FILM PROJECT FOR BP AT NATIONAL PIPELINE CONTROL CENTER
TULSA, Oklahoma Commercial Window Shield has completed a security window film installation project at British Petroleum’s national pipeline control center.
The Commercial Window Shield guys did a great job. We appreciated all their help over the last couple of months,said BP Project Manager Paul Dwyer.
The control center, on the University of Oklahoma-Tulsa campus, has been at risk because of its location within the country’s infamous Tornado Alley and a number of bomb threats in recent years. As a result, BP officials wanted to protect their employees from the potential danger of flying glass from inclement weather or terrorist attack. In addition to employee safety, BP needed to minimize any downtime from weather or other events because of the importance of the control center to its U.S. distribution network.
Commercial Window Shield installed an 8-mil clear security film with a wet glaze attachment system to the control center’s windows. The project was completed on time in 12 days.
University of Oklahoma-Tulsa officials, impressed with Commercial Window Shield’s work for BP, has asked the company to survey a number of other buildings on campus for possible security film installation in the future.
Oklahomans are familiar with the damage caused by bad storms and terrorist acts. It was in nearby Oklahoma City in 1995 that a bomb set off at the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building by Timothy McVeigh claimed 163 lives and injured 680. A number of the casualties were the result of flying glass. Since then, Commercial Window Shield has completed hundreds of security window film installation projects all over the country that have protected buildings and saved lives. They include the U.S. Capitol, all the House of Representative buildings, FBI headquarters, Pentagon, Denver Mint, O Hare International airport, Grand Central Terminal and the Willis Tower [former Sears Tower].
