Fire Alarm and Detection
The life safety professionals at C&S have designed hundreds of building fire alarm and detection systems, from conventional style zoned systems, microprocessor-based addressable systems, voice communication fire alarm systems, high-rise building fire alarm systems, campus-style networked fire alarm systems, and more. C&S conducts detailed designs for every fire alarm system, including full system layouts, battery calculations, notification appliance circuit voltage drop calculations, and operations matrices—all in compliance with NFPA 72. Additionally, C&S witnesses and directs all final system testing, commissioning, and owner training to ensure the system is ready for service at the completion of the project. Services include:
- Evaluation of existing systems
- Facility fire alarm and detection master planning
- Code reviews
- Fire command centers
- Manual fire alarm systems
- Automatic fire alarm systems
- Voice evacuation fire alarm systems
- Gas detection systems
- Incipient fire detection systems (VESDA)
- Linear heat detection systems
- Rescue assistance signaling systems
