Fire Detection and Fire Alarms
|
| Automatic Fire Detection System. |

Following an in-depth fire risk assessment it is was deemed that the fire system required upgrading to comply with current standards.
The tender process
commenced and in November 2015, shortly afterwards BeSure Security Systems were selected as the approved contractor to undertake the works.
The system
design was completed and agreed by the construction consultant and the client. The brief was to ensure the system met the strict guidelines set out in
the British Standards, as well as meeting the clients own site specific requirements, and the fire risk assessment.
Due to the theatres schedule
of performances, there was a very tight window in which to complete the installation, and even during this period the theatre was required to remain operational,
as a number of performances were already scheduled.

The System
Due to the nature and aesthetics of the building, our engineers went to considerable effort to ensure the system cables were hidden within the fabric of the building and its architectural features.
The system comprises of 170 Smoke/Heat Detectors, 34 Manual Call Points and a number of highly sensitive Vesda aspirating smoke detection systems.
A complex cause and effect structure was designed, to cope with the various theatrical pyrotechnics, thus avoiding unnecessary false alarms, audience panic and evacuation.

"The moment we contracted BeSure Security Systems to carry out the fire alarm works, we were impressed with their professionalism and attention to detail. We were extremely pleased for the hard work and exemplary service they provided including working within an extremely tight deadline. They kept us informed of progress throughout and went out of their way to ensure that we were completely satisfied with their work. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend their company to other businesses."
