SYS-02 / Detection & Alarm

Fire Alarm Systems

Addressable and conventional fire detection and alarm systems, designed and installed to give a building the earliest possible warning.

Overview

Early detection is the whole point.

A fire alarm system's only job is to detect a problem before it becomes a crisis, and communicate it clearly — to occupants, to building management, and where required, to the civil defence. We design systems around that single objective.

Our scope covers control panels, detection devices, notification appliances, and integration with other building systems such as HVAC shutdown and access control release.

System Components

What we design and install.

01

Addressable Fire Alarm Panels

Intelligent panels with individual device addressing for precise fault and alarm location.

02

Conventional Fire Alarm Panels

Zone-based systems suited to smaller or lower-complexity facilities.

03

Smoke & Heat Detectors

Optical, ionisation and heat detection selected to suit each space's environment.

04

Manual Call Points

Break-glass call points positioned along egress routes for manual activation.

05

Sounders, Strobes & Voice Evacuation

Audible and visual notification, including voice evacuation for larger or complex buildings.

06

System Integration

Interfacing with sprinkler flow switches, HVAC, lifts and access control for coordinated response.

Why It Matters

Detection systems only work if they're tested.

An installed fire alarm system degrades quietly — a dusty detector, a failed battery, a disconnected sounder circuit — until the day it's called on. Regular functional testing is what keeps a system genuinely response-ready, not just installed.

  • Full device-by-device functional testing
  • Battery and standby power verification
  • Cause & effect testing with integrated systems
  • Documented test certificates for compliance records

FAQ

Common questions.

It depends on building size, complexity and occupancy. Larger or multi-zone buildings generally benefit from addressable systems for precise fault location; we'll recommend the right fit after a site assessment.
Yes — we design cause-and-effect interfaces between the fire alarm system and building management, HVAC, lifts and access control where required.
Testing frequency depends on the applicable code and system type — our AMC plans include a defined schedule of routine and annual testing. See Maintenance & AMC for details.
