28 Sep The Latest in Fire Systems

A stunning, 11-storey restaurant, and fitness complex in Totalstay, Cape Town, has been fitted with the latest in fire systems – one that can effectively work amongst the different environments in the building.

The project was spearheaded by C-TEC’s South African distributor, Brigit Fire, which implemented a series of 8-loop CAST ZFP touchscreen-controlled fire systems, specified to bespoke standards and implemented by consulting engineers De Villers & Moore, installed by Manyene Holdings

Divan Lerm of Brigit’s Detection and Special Risk Sales Department said: “CAST was selected for its capacity to create a powerful high-quality system. As each panel can easily accommodate over 25 base sounder visual alarm devices per loop plus smoke, heat and multi-sensor devices, this meant that the client’s requirement to equip all 260 apartments with all-encompassing fire detection could be satisfied efficiently and cost-effectively.

“The ability to set the sensitivity thresholds on the smoke, heat and multi-sensors to minimise false alarms via the programming tools was also hugely important to our client due to the multi-occupancy nature of the building. This is such an excellent feature.”

As the project was incorporated into the 11-storey building, it was tweaked and tailored to meet the highest specifications available, perfectly suiting the environments it was in.
