Government to require auto shut-off systems for BGC condos

Buildings at Bonifacio Global City that have their liquified petroleum gas piped in will have to install automatic shut-off mechanisms in case of leaks.

According to a BusinessWorld report, Local Government Secretary Manuel Roxas II has ordered an inspection of 12 residential buildings and 49 commercial buildings that use piped-in LPG systems to make sure shut-off mechanisms, sensors, and detectors are installed for safety.

The Bureau of Fire Protection, an attached agency of the Department of the Interior and Local Government, will come out with a safety checklist and the inspections are expected done by the end of July.

An explosion that has been blamed on a gas leak destroyed a unit at Two Serendra on May 31. Debris from the blast killed three people.
