Fire detection solutions for Transport & Public Buildings

“We looked at a range of options and technologies to find a solution which will work perfectly under the very difficult circumstances of the Kamppi bus terminal”

Mr. Jari Salminen

Why use a VESDA system?


Superior performance in large open spaces where smoke tends to stratify, never reaching conventional point-type detectors located on the high ceilings of atriums or concourses.	A VESDA systems wide sensitivity range provides the best solution in areas of high airflow where drafts from train motion or air-conditioning may interfere with the normal dispersion of smoke.	The installation of sampling points in or near mechanical equipment, such as lifts or elevators provides the earliest possible warning of a threat

Remote monitoring and configuration of detectors in unmanned sites.	Multiple configurable pre-alarms provide control in a fire situation, for example, very early warning for investigation and subsequent warnings to intiate automated fire department notification, evacuation and suppression.	The ability to locate sampling holes where smoke will travel and to position the detector in a location that is easily accessible for maintenance.
