Can An EMS Wireless System Ensure Full Detection Through Ancient Castle Walls?
With its origins in the 13th century, Blair Castle’s history extends over 740 years. The castle enjoys one of Scotland’s finest settings in the heart of Highland Perthshire and is the ancient seat of the Dukes and Earls of Atholl.
The castle is an increasingly popular visitor destination in Perthshire as well as a private residence. The existing fire detection system was fast becoming outdated and inflexible. With development plans in mind, the castle’s owners commissioned a replacement fire detection that would meet all future requirements.
This historic and sensitive heritage building plays host to various activities including commercial spaces open to the public and residential areas with intermittent access needs. The specified system had to satisfy the following user requirements:
- It must not cause any damage to any part of the building.
- It had to be capable of being installed quickly with minimal disturbance to occupants.
- There should be no disruption to daily visitors during installation and routine maintenance.
- It must be capable of accommodating any future change of use in the castle and outbuildings.
The EMS FirePoint 5000 wireless fire detection system was selected as being the ideal solution to meet Blair Castle’s current and future needs. Installation by Moray Fire Protection Ltd together with initial surveying by EMS expert specifiers ensured complete protection and reassurance.
As well as being ideal fire detection solutions for heritage buildings, EMS wireless systems have been installed successfully in a diverse range of sites, from new buildings through to airports and military bases where high levels of potential radio interference are present.
