Site Alerter Site Wide
Spanning across 20 miles with over 80 buildings, MOD Shoeburyness is a munitions testing and training facility, located on the southeast coast of England.
The Challenge
MOD Shoeburyness, managed by QinetiQ, needed a centralised site-wide alarm system, to warn operatives of any potential danger and subsequently create a specialised response from two different fire services.
The biggest challenge for the client, was finding a system that could be integrated throughout their extremely large site. The area extends across 20 miles with over 80 remote and clustered buildings, meaning that implementing a hard-wired system would be extremely expensive and could take months of groundwork.
The Solution
The solution provided to QinetiQ was the installation of our wireless Site Alerter system.
Using our radio-based technology, Site Alerter ensures full coverage with a single alarm which is triggered by standalone call points located on any of the allocated buildings. Once the alarm has been activated, the whole site sounds sirens through marine horns and beacons flash.
The Result
With two centralised control points, both units are instantly notified of the specific building that is in alert, allowing operatives to plan the best response.
Overall, this provided the client with a cost-effective solution and a comprehensive system that provides full protection for their entire site.
