Wireless site fire alarm systems, supplied, positioned and linked so that one call point sets every unit on the site sounding. They go up in an afternoon, they move as the building goes up, and they can be linked back to the control room so an activation out of hours reaches somebody rather than sounding into an empty compound at two in the morning.
Units are linked wirelessly, so a call point pressed on the top floor sounds the whole site at once instead of alerting the three people standing next to it.
Battery powered wireless units go where the risk is and move when the work moves. Nothing is chased in, nothing is wired and nothing has to be re-run next phase.
Call points and detection put where they are actually needed: hot works areas, cabin groups, stores, drying rooms and the escape routes off the structure.
Linked back to the control room so an activation at night reaches an operator who can dispatch and call the fire service, rather than sounding to nobody.
A set of battery powered, radio linked units placed around the site, each with a call point and a sounder and detection where it is wanted. Because they talk to each other, pressing any one of them sets the whole site sounding. On a construction site that is the only sensible approach, because a hard wired system cannot follow a building that changes shape every fortnight.
Usually an afternoon. The units are positioned, linked, tested together and a site plan produced showing where each one is. Adding units later as the structure grows or moving them as the phase changes is quick, which is exactly why they are used rather than anything fixed.
Yes, and it is worth doing. An alarm sounding on an empty site at three in the morning does nothing on its own. Linked to the control room, an activation reaches an operator who can look at the cameras, call the fire service with a proper description of what they can see and get hold of your people, which is a materially different outcome to somebody discovering it at seven.
Yes. The alarm is equipment, not a fire strategy. Your principal contractor still needs a fire plan, escape routes, extinguishers, marshals and the hot works procedures that go with them, and the alarm supports all of that. We will place the units to fit the plan you have rather than telling you the plan should fit our kit.
Yes, and hire is what most sites take. It runs month to month alongside whatever else we are covering, the units come off when the job finishes and get serviced and re-tested before they go out again, and nobody is left storing equipment between projects or wondering when it was last checked.
On a site where we are already monitoring the CCTV, yes, and it is the best reason to put both on one supplier. The same operator sees the fire activation and the camera views at the same moment, which means the call to the fire service comes with information about what is actually burning and whether anybody is on site, rather than being an automated signal from a box.
Ultra HD analytic cameras supplied and installed free of charge, feeding a control room in Middleton that is staffed around the clock.
A rapid deploy tower that turns up on a trailer, sets its own feet, raises the mast and starts watching the same day.
SIA licensed officers on site, on shift, doing the job properly: controlling who comes through the gate, signing deliveries in, walking the site to a pattern that cannot be predicted from the fence line, and logging every one of it.
Licensed handlers working with trained general purpose security dogs, on static shifts or as a patrolling unit.
A marked unit visiting your site through the night at times that change every night, checking the perimeter, the gates, the stores, the plant and the cabins, and reporting on every visit.
Detection is only worth something if it ends with a person turning up.
Door entry and gate access systems designed, installed and maintained: video and audio intercoms, fob and keypad entry, automated gates and barriers.
SIA licensed close protection officers for individuals who need discreet, competent cover: a director dealing with a hostile situation, a visitor to a difficult location, an event where somebody needs to be looked after properly, or a period where a specific threat has been made.
Booked visits to your home or business while you are away, at times that vary, by a licensed officer who actually walks round the property.
Heras panel fencing, solid hoarding and gates, delivered, installed and taken away again at the end of the job.
Security for temporary works: small projects, street works and highway works.
