In conjunction with Sentech and Dewhurst MacFarlane Engineering, American Security has recently completed the fabrication and installation of a highly secure custom designed point-load cable net blast resistant glass wall at the Court of International Trade in New York City. This highly secure facility features 3/4 diameter 316 stainless steel cables loaded to over 12,000 lbs to support the 1 – 5/6 inch insulated and laminated glass lites. These make up the building's "pavilion" façade. Coupled with stainless steel patchfittings and clevis connections, the design is able to withstand a bomb blast by deflecting almost six inches inward.

As the world modernizes, blast-resistant windows and wall systems are becoming increasingly important and sought after. These systems have the ability to greatly reduce glass fragmentation hazards which are a main cause of injury during explosive attacks.
