Fire Detection & Alarm Systems
Early, reliable detection that gives evacuation, suppression, and emergency response the time they need to work.
What’s included
- Smoke and heat detector specification and placement.
- Manual call point and alarm sounder design.
- Visual alarm device specification.
- Fire alarm control panel and network design.
- BMS and remote monitoring service interface.
- Nuisance alarm risk assessment and zone-level mitigation.
Early, reliable detection is what gives every other part of a fire strategy — evacuation, suppression response, emergency service intervention — the time it needs to work. Fire detection and alarm systems cover the design and specification of smoke and heat detectors, manual call points, alarm sounders and visual alarm devices, and the fire alarm control panels and networks that tie a building's detection system together and, where required, interface with building management systems and monitoring services.
Detection system design has to account for a building's specific layout and use — placing detection appropriately for the types of fire risk present in different areas, avoiding both under-provision that delays detection and over-sensitive design that generates nuisance alarms and erodes occupant trust in the system over time. We design these systems with genuine attention to a building's operational reality, not just minimum code compliance.
