Case Study Texas Capitol Smoke Detectors Heat Detectors Duct Smoke Detectors the installation was simplified by the technology and use of existing detection locations Ferguson that the unique nature of the building which includes various arches and other architecturally imposing building features maneuverability difficult at times Some devices had been located to blend into the look feel of the building which challenged access But Ferguson maintains process was as much a challenge as location This type of retrofit requires long planning and studying of the customer April 30 2010 the new fire and life safety confirmed that it could deliver as At 9 16 p m that Friday evening System Sensor smoke detector went into pre alarm mode the reference library on the second floor of the north wing alerting the central monitoring office at the capitol supervisor in the office radio dispatched a trooper to Upon entering the library the trooper smelled a electrical burning odor and discovered soot around a light fixture that had malfunctioned Nichols fire marshal at the Texas Capitol credits the Sensor detector and the capitol quick acting security from keeping the smoke event from escalating into a full fire are really glad we have these smoke detectors says nice knowing that we can depend on the detectors alarm locations with intelligent photoelectric detectors Sensor intelligent smoke detectors provide the ability pinpoint detector locations to enable quick identification of that are in alarm have been tampered with or require maintenance In addition their sleek low profile design in with just about any environment more information visit www systemsensor com in 1888 the Texas Capitol in Austin is the largest in gross footage of all state capitols and is second in total size to the National Capitol in Washington D C yet nearly 15 feet The Texas Capitol needed to update its fire and life safety by replacing its discontinued legacy systems that had the end of their lifecycle Fire Protection of Austin was for retrofitting the fire and life safety throughout the main capitol building well as the four level 667,000 square underground extension that effectively the floor space of the entire capitol upon its completion in 1993 being sensitive to preserving this significant building the Koetter team understood the Texas Capitol is also a high profile state facility that to maintain strict security procedures As an installer that being accompanied by a security escort at all times and at a busy facility with hundreds of daily occupants by their schedule with the goal of impact to any of the of the state processes in the capitol says Jason vice president of Koetter the capitol systems to stay online so maintaining coverage is critical ease of detector replacement aided Koetter in maintaining fire and life safety protection at all times during the process Compatibility between the old and new systems was the key to continuously maintaining coverage The replacement included the fire alarm panel and smoke heat and duct detectors Managing the in phases met the capitol operations requirements scheduling requests great thing about System Sensor and NOTIFIER is that the companies have continued to design for the future of our customers says Ferguson practice of remembering ones who brought you to your level of business and giving their due consideration allows for decades of a continued relationship Their business mind set assisted Koetter moving this customer from their legacy equipment to today equipment standards replaced the legacy detectors while the capitol legacy FACP equipment was still in place and then swapped NOTIFIER Model 2020 fire panel with a new Model 3030 panel all Koetter installed about 1,300 System Sensor photoelectric detectors NOTIFIER Model FSP 851 50 FST 851R detectors and 170 InnovairFlex duct smoke detectors work in conjunction with one another throughout the main and the extension System Sensor All rights reserved Product specifications subject to change without notice 6 10 2431
