Why did the customer contact us?

The customer contacted Fire Alarm Houston with the requirement to install a comprehensive fire alarm system in their commercial building, Houston Metals. Their primary concern was to ensure the safety and compliance of the building with the latest fire safety standards.

Solutions provided:

To address the customer's needs, we provided a range of services and products:

System Design and Planning: We started with a detailed assessment of the building to plan the installation of the fire alarm system. This included identifying key areas for smoke detectors, alarm devices, and control panels.

Installation of Fire Alarm Accessories:

Ceiling Horn Strobes (White): We installed several selectable candela ceiling horn strobes to ensure effective auditory and visual alerts in case of fire.
Addressable Pull Stations: Dual-action addressable pull stations were strategically placed for manual activation of the fire alarm.
V-Plex Addressable Smoke Detectors: These were installed throughout the building for early smoke detection.
60 Point Addressable Fire Panel: This serves as the central control unit for the fire alarm system.
32 Character LCD Remote Annunciator and DACT: These devices enhance the system's communication capabilities.
Fire Alarm Cabling:

We used 18/4 and 16/2 solid plenum fire alarm cables for reliable and safe signal transmission throughout the building.
For areas requiring shielded cabling, we used 18/2C FPLP SOL RED SHIELDED cable.
Inspection Services: Post-installation, we conducted a thorough inspection to ensure that every component of the fire alarm system was functioning correctly.

Planning and Permitting: We handled all necessary planning and permitting processes to ensure that the installation was compliant with local fire safety regulations.

Customer Education and Handover: Finally, we provided the customer with a complete briefing on the system's operation, maintenance requirements, and emergency protocols.

The customer now has a fully functional, state-of-the-art fire alarm system in Houston Metals, ensuring enhanced safety and regulatory compliance.
