Capital Cost: £160,000
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

- 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
