Thick Concrete & Steel Any Match For Wireless Fire Systems?
EMS’s wireless fire detection systems are renowned for their flexibility, adaptability and cost-effectiveness in providing protection to any building type, layout or structure. However, their capacity was recently tested in a new type of installation - to protect a 1960’s six-storey public car park made of thick concrete and steel.
Despite many of the walls being up to 3ft thick and constructed of a mix of steel reinforced concrete, the system was installed quickly and with ease, providing full coverage throughout.
Concrete and steel have long provided fire system installers with nightmares of having to install hardwired fire detection systems and alarms. By the very nature of the dense fabric of the building installations can be time consuming and grueling. It can also be complicated by specific needs to protect difficult areas.
Car park owners and operators, such as this NCP car park in Edinburgh, can have well founded health and safety concerns as premises can be used for 18-24 hours a day. Installers working on wiring in public spaces is a further concern to any site manager.
Wireless fire detection systems and alarms, such as EMS’s FirePoint 5000, are increasingly being specified by installers and facilities managers in place of hardwired system.
Nationwide, the market for wireless detection is growing as the adaptability, flexibility and comparable costs of these simple to install systems is understood.
