Independence National Historical Park

Project Overview

Professional Systems Engineering, LLC (PSE) has extensive experience working with the type of security technology involved in this project and has a long list of past and current projects in the Philadelphia area, dealing with historically-sensitive facilities and environments.

PSE provided assessment and design services for the electronic intrusion detection systems and security upgrades at Independence National Historical Park, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the largest historic complex of buildings in the nation.

PSE provided assessments, documentation, fiber design, intrusion detection technologies, cost estimates, and phasing of proposed system integration solutions. Many of these buildings are on the National Register of Historic Places, with some containing invaluable collections of artifacts and other items of historical interest.

The key priority of this project was to ensure the security of the Park’s historical buildings and the valuable collections and artifacts they contain. New technologies with improved security capabilities have been developed.

PSE provided an evaluation of the existing IDS system and a plan for replacement and upgrade of hardware, software, and infrastructure to ensure that these buildings and collections are adequately protected. The design developed under this project will serve as a roadmap for a phased upgrade of the system over the next several years.
