Ellesmere Port Fire Alarm & Disabled Refuge Installation – FST Systems Successfully Completes Complex Fire Alarm and Disabled Alarm Installation at Ellesmere Port School
FST Systems is proud to announce the successful completion of a comprehensive fire alarm and disabled alarm installation at a historic school in Ellesmere Port. This intricate project, which spanned over seven months, presented a unique set of challenges that tested our expertise and adaptability.
Adapting to the School Environment
One of the most significant challenges was the need to carry out the installation work during hours when students were not present. Ensuring the safety and comfort of the children was our top priority, so we meticulously planned our schedule around the school’s hours of operation. This meant working during evenings, weekends, and school holidays to avoid any disruptions to the students’ learning environment.
Maintaining Zero Downtime
Another major challenge was the requirement for zero downtime during the installation process. The school needed to remain fully operational at all times, so our team had to work efficiently and strategically to ensure that the existing systems remained functional while the new fire alarm and disabled alarm systems were installed. This careful coordination required a high level of expertise and precise timing, which our team executed flawlessly.
Working Within a Historic Building
The school’s age added another layer of complexity to the project. The building’s old structure meant that we had to install a significant amount of containment to protect the new wiring and equipment. Our team worked diligently to respect the integrity of the historic architecture while ensuring that the new systems met modern safety standards. This involved creative problem-solving and close collaboration with the school’s management to ensure that the installation was both effective and unobtrusive.
Innovative Lockdown System Installation
In addition to the fire and disabled alarm systems, we also installed an innovative lockdown system integrated with the fire alarm. This system features a distinct tone that signals a lockdown situation, providing an added layer of safety for the school’s staff and students. The integration of this system required careful planning and testing to ensure that it functioned seamlessly with the other alarm systems, and we’re pleased to report that it has been successfully implemented.
A Successful Partnership
The successful completion of this project is a testament to FST Systems’ commitment to quality, safety, and customer satisfaction. We’re proud to have been part of such an important initiative to enhance the safety of students and staff at this historic school. Our ability to overcome the challenges presented by this project underscores our dedication to delivering top-notch fire and security solutions, no matter the complexity.
