Industries - Marine
Industries - Commercial

Commercial

Choosing the right fire detection system for commercial premises is crucial due to their diverse physical and operational characteristics. These buildings often feature challenges such as high ceilings and atriums, where effective evacuation planning is paramount. Reliable fire detection systems are essential in densely populated areas to prevent unnecessary evacuations while minimising the impact of false alarms on business continuity.

Typical Application

  • Office Buildings
  • Shopping Malls
  • Generators

Associated Product Lines

These product lines are designed to meet the specific needs of commercial buildings, ensuring efficient fire detection, suppression, and communication systems tailored to different environments within these premises.

Healthcare

Fire detection and protection in healthcare environments are critical for ensuring the safety of patients, hospital staff, and visitors. Areas such as operating theatres, ICU (Intensive Care Units), ITU (Intensive Therapy Units), CCU (Coronary Care Units), and isolation rooms, where patients may be immobile, underscore the importance of efficient evacuation procedures and minimising false alarms. The high value and sensitivity of equipment in these facilities necessitate advanced fire detection systems to detect fires promptly and prevent serious damage.

Typical Application

  • Atriums
  • Data Rooms
  • General Wards
  • MRI Facilities
  • Operating Rooms
  • Switchgear

These product lines are specifically tailored to meet the stringent requirements of healthcare environments, ensuring reliable fire detection and suppression to safeguard patients, staff, and critical medical equipment.

Industries - Healthcare
Industries - TELECOMMUNICATIONS

Telecommunications Industry

Telecommunication companies prioritise fire detection to ensure business continuity and mitigate the high costs associated with equipment replacement. In these areas, we focus on early warning fire detection applications to detect the fire at the inception stage, thereby preventing unnecessary damage to critical equipment.

Typical Application

  • ATEs
  • Control Rooms
  • Data Centres
  • HVAC Rooms
  • Switch Rooms

These specialised product lines are tailored to meet the stringent requirements of telecommunication facilities, ensuring early detection and effective suppression of fires to safeguard critical infrastructure and maintain uninterrupted operations.

Warehousing, Logistics & Cold Storage

Effective fire detection solutions are essential in sectors like cold storage, distribution centres, factories, and warehouses where challenges such as high-value stock holding, elevated stacking heights, and unique environmental conditions demand robust safety measures for business continuity and to prevent possible false alarms caused by trucks or forklifts. Elements such as high condensation levels and low temperatures create challenges in cold storage that necessitate specific and effective detection.

Typical Application

  • Cold Storage
  • Distribution Centres
  • Factories
  • Warehousing
  • Generators

These specialised fire detection systems are designed to address these environments’ specific challenges, ensuring early fire detection and effective suppression to protect high-value assets and maintain operational continuity.

Industries - Warehousing
Industries - Industrial

Industrial

Every industrial site presents unique challenges, such as hazardous-rated areas, harsh environments, and critical applications like MCC rooms, control rooms, and server rooms. It is crucial to accurately identify environmental risks and ensure the correct fire detection and suppression equipment is selected to operate within designated parameters.

Typical Application

  • Smelters

Hospitality

Fire detection requirements in the hospitality industry are highly specific, often governed by unique standards that consider factors like occupancy levels and the presence of individuals with disabilities such as hearing impairments, limited eyesight, or physical disabilities. These systems must ensure effective alerting of sleeping occupants and enable swift evacuation while minimising false alarms.

Typical Application

  • Casinos
  • Hotels
  • Theatres

Associated Product Lines

Industries - Hospitality
Industries - Data Storage

Data Centres

Protecting data centres becomes crucial as companies increasingly migrate their data storage to offsite premises. Since the equipment is very temperature sensitive, these areas have high airflow that can influence the performance of a standard detection system. The correct fire detection system with early warning ensures equipment and data protection. Monitoring fire panels for remote sites is essential to prevent damage should an alarm be triggered. Given that most areas have gas suppression systems, a reliable gas control unit is required, and it is also essential that the detection system does not induce false alarms and false gas discharges.

Typical Application

  • Data Centres
  • Generators
  • Battery/Energy Storage Systems (BESS & ESS)
