360-DEGREE APPROACH TO FIRE PROTECTION AT
DUBAI OFFICE COMPLEX
A host of fire and life safety solutions from
Advanced have been installed to protect 26,000
sq. metres of grade A o ice space in Mohammed
Bin Rashid City, Dubai.
EN 54-approved Axis EN fire panels with integrated
voice evacuation and fire telephone systems have
been installed across four, seven-storey o ice
buildings at the prestigious Dubai Hills Estate
Business Park.
Cignetix Systems was responsible for the
installation, testing and commissioning of the
Advanced Axis EN fire panels at the site. The company
also integrated its graphic command centres for
system monitoring, and configured its AlarmCalm
so‚ ware for false alarm management and reduction.
The Axis EN system comprises five 4-loop panels
with integrated telephone systems, two 2-loop
and four 1-loop panels as well as a repeater. It
is connected to over 1,000 detectors in each of
the four o ice blocks, as well as to the site’s PCbased
graphical mapping system, which is in turn
connected to the Dubai Civil Defence for monitoring.
The system has been designed so that it is easy for
new tenants to add more panels and devices to the
network, depending on their individual fire protection
requirements.
Sunil Kumar Gopalkrishnan, Managing Director
of Cignetix Systems, said: “Cignetix has worked
with Advanced’s solutions for many years, and we
were entirely confident that its fire system could
deliver the levels of performance and functionality
required to o er a high level of protection across this
prestigious site. We programmed a two-stage positive
alarm sequence to support the site’s false alarm
management strategy. We also integrated the fire
system with a range of third-party systems including
access control li‚ s, air handling units and smoke
control to make it easier for end users to monitor and
control the system on a day-to-day basis.”
Gary Craig, Sales Director at Advanced, said:
“Cignetix has taken a 360-degree approach to
fire protection at the Dubai Hills Estate Business
Park. They’ve carefully considered not only fire
detection and
notification
but also
false alarm
management,
graphical
monitoring
and system
integration.
“The result is
a sophisticated system that will provide many years
of robust and reliable fire protection for the business
park’s users and infrastructure.”
The business park was among the first to comply
with the Dubai Green Building Rating System,
Bringing together a host of sustainable practices and
solutions to reduce environmental impacts.
