Market: Government Buildings
As a fire system specialist approved by many government bodies we have undertaken work of this nature in many types of Government buildings. Central and Local government alike have a need for cost effective solutions to meet their duty of care in the buildings which they administer. wireless fire alarm systems have been used on countless occasions to provide a cost effective solution be it for the long or short term.
Short-term solutions are often needed when temporary accommodation requires services that meet with current fire safety legislation. A wired fire alarm system has little or no residual value in these circumstances and usually gets scrapped when the temporary use finishes. A wireless system however can be as easy to remove as it was to install and it may then be reused in further temporary accommodation or as a permanent installation.
Long-term (permanent) wireless fire alarm system installations are undertaken for many varying reasons. Apart from being a viable alternative to hard-wired systems, wireless systems have distinct advantages with their ease of installation and minimal disruption. Buildings that are heavily used, e.g. magistrates courts, not only need 24-hour protection 7 days a week but also have security issues that cannot be compromised. The wireless fire alarm system meets both of these criterions as it may be installed in the shortest possible time alongside an existing system before final commissioning.
