Polyteck have recently completed the installation of a new Commercial Fire Detection & Alarm System at Artillery House, Artillery Row, SW1. Full details of the project that was undertaken can be read below.

Commercial Fire Detection & Alarm System Upgrade

Issue: Faults developed by an old conventional analogue fire alarm system

Aim: To achieve maximum functionality & reliability of the fire detection and alarm system

Proposed Solutions:

• Survey, inspect and audit the site in order to identify requirements and sustainability of a new system
• Installing of 190+ addressable smoke and heat detectors over nine floors, basement and roof with floor area per floor approx. 6,900 square feet
• Installing 2 new addressable stainless steel custom made Kentec Syncro fire alarm panel
• New Loop powered sounders throughout the office areas
• Integrating existing conventional circuits
• Incremental replacement approach maintaining full cover at all time

The Key Results:

More reliable system providing the benefits of an addressable fire alarm system:

• Wired fire alarms using loop circuits
• Eliminate the amount of false alarms
• Eradicate legacy faults on the system
• Speed up fire alarm location and fault findings
• Saving valuable time when detecting a fire as the description of location will appear on the fire alarm panel
