System Sensor Medical St Anthony Hospital

Case Study St Anthony Hospital Photoelectric Smoke Detectors Duct Smoke Detectors What took this project up a notch however was the West Metro Fire Marshal follows an amended IBC 2006 that calls for full detection in every room the 27 years been involved in this business this is the largest set of shop we ever done It was about 70 full sized sheets just design the fire alarm system states Doiron all the project included about 2,500 smoke detectors including for the Ortho Tower and 275 duct smoke detectors Ninety percent of the 2,500 detectors will be addressable size and magnitude of the design dictated how much and field equipment was necessary to accommodate work needed The System Sensor and life safety addressable are supported by NOTIFIER panels which all feed into one All of this was installed and without a hitch bringing the Tower fully operational for its in spring 2010 and life safety integration backed by methodical meticulous planning were key to this seamless creation were able to leverage our expertise of fire and life system integration to enable a smooth transition says bringing together code information and requirements for a unified and efficient fire and safety system Duct Smoke Detector with Unmatched Flexibility mounting constraints with the InnovairFlex duct detector which can accommodate multiple installation It offers superb false alarm immunity a broad range and humidity ranges easily visible status and a readily accessible test feature For increased of installation technicians can now install the new sampling for InnovairFlex from the front or back without using tools snapping them into place With its unmatched flexibility can adjust to fit any application more information visit www systemsensor com flex are complex buildings in terms of fire safety different from any other type of building As a result in a patient care environment fire systems can be very and several common practices may not apply So the of designing and implementing a hospital fire system can be challenging one One of Denver oldest and most progressive St Anthony Central will be taking on this task as the embarks on a new period of its history by constructing a campus in Lakewood Colo to replace the existing facility it has for its more than 100 year history the hospital will showcasing the latest advancements in medicine It will potentially become the largest hospital in the Western U S main structure will consist of two the three story Ortho Tower is in phase 1 and an eight story Tower which is in phase 2 880,000 square feet upon with six to seven more office buildings anticipated it came to the fire and life safety coordination was necessary the electrical contractor and fire and life safety systems contracting company which was by the electrical contractor and the electrical engineer Commercial Specialists of Southern Colorado LLC it was another job that happened to be a big one albeit with requirements unique to the hospital setting are methodical about how we put all this together how we it how we install it how we close out the job says Doiron executive manager of Commercial Specialists through the same processes as we do on a strip mall all the are the same from the beginning to end It just that magnitude changes to designing an effective fire alarm system in a hospital is recognition that the system is not a stand alone entity it a component of the overall fire safety solution Although it common practice to fully evacuate other buildings such as school when the fire alarm sounds many occupants of a cannot simply get up and leave Unless it is absolutely it is unrealistic to evacuate intensive care patients and in elderly care for example as well as surgeons engaged intricate procedures at the time of the alarm Therefore for hospital fire system to operate successfully a great deal of is required not only about the layout and structure the building but also the activities that are carried out in areas and the interaction required with other services complex modern hospital buildings code is another significant The codes are all structured to apply to a hospital unique System Sensor All rights reserved Product specifications subject to change without notice 6 10 2430
