Fire Detection and Emergency Evacuation More than 600 Ziton Fire Detection and Alarm Devices were deployed throughout the buildings and 5 levels of underground parking. The building Emergency Voice Evacuation System was upgraded and now includes over 100 indoor and outdoor EN54-24 compliant speakers supplied by TOA. Installation and selected devices comply with relevant Fire Detection and Life Safety Standards.
Integrated Security Management System Integrations have been done between the various systems to enhance the operators’ situational awareness and to improve responses to emergency situations. In certain alarm conditions, the fire panel will trigger pre-recorded voice messages to alert patrons and staff of imminent emergency situations. Alarms are displayed on graphical maps in the control room to assist first responders.
Maintenance and Support The FS-Systems Maintenance Division has now taken ownership of servicing the installed solution to ensure that it functions properly at all times.
