As part of a £1.6 million fire safety project, Hochiki Europe has been chosen by Masterfire Life Safety Systems to provide a complete life safety solution to protect the Sligo Regional Hospital.
Following a competitive tender, fire protection and life safety company, Masterfire, was commissioned by the hospital to oversee the installation of a new complete life safety system. To ensure optimum protection for the building and its patients, Paul McNulty, sales director at Masterfire, brought in Hochiki Europe to provide multiple safety solutions. He explained: “The project required a system which offered complete accountability and testing control, so it was clear that specifying Hochiki Europe’s FIREscape emergency lighting solution, alongside its ESP intelligent fire detection system, would be the best way to meet the brief.”
Hochiki Europe’s FIREscape system is fully compliant with all European emergency lighting standards, while its ESP ‘intelligent’ (analogue addressable) fire detection range’s proven reliability and software enhancements provided the hospital with a system that the company says ‘virtually eliminates false alarms’.
Mark Smith, UK sales manager at Hochiki Europe, added: “All of our products are simple to install, reducing fitting time dramatically. FIREscape is also a modular, LED system, which means it can be adapted to the size of a particular building, providing Sligo Regional Hospital with a significant cost saving.”
Masterfire and Hochiki Europe provided Sligo Hospital with 34 FIREscape panels, with 3,800 lighting devices, all monitored via a full graphics package. The fire alarm system comprises 49 control panels linked to 4,000 devices.
