Chubb Fire & Security has upgraded the fire alarm system at GDF SUEZ’s Saltend cogeneration power station in Hull.
Protecting hundreds of employees and the site’s critical equipment and buildings the PC-based ControlMaster 600 fire alarm system has a graphical user interface that incorporates Google Maps and site layouts.
The subsidiary of UTC Building & Industrial Systems has also replaced 20 deluge panels in critical areas across the site, to enhance reporting capabilities, decrease response times and improve false-alarm management.
GDF SUEZ is a global energy company operating in the power, natural gas and energy services sectors.
“Chubb was able to provide the best lead time, system, service offering and cost efficiencies,” says Simon Gott, GDF SUEZ site services engineer at Saltend.
“The competence its employees demonstrated was the most important reason for awarding the contract, as this gave us the confidence that they would deliver a system that would meet the long-term needs of the site that we required.
“The installation went very smoothly. In addition to being on time and to budget, the engineers organised implementation so that it worked in and around our operational requirements, crucially ensuring there was no disruption to the power station’s productivity.”
