Case Study: Commercial Fire Alarm Installation – Shipdham Distribution Warehouse, Norfolk
Recently completed commercial fire alarm system installation at a distribution warehouse for a new client in Shipdham, Norfolk.
This new client approached Norfolk Fire Solutions Ltd needing a comprehensive addressable fire alarm system to cover their new distribution warehouse in Shipdham, Norfolk. They had just taken possession of the unit and required the works completing in a timely manner to aid their insurance companies requirements. Their requirements were for a full fire alarm system encompassing detection, manual call points and sounders but specifically did not want beam detection due to operational reasons with the pallet racking being so high they wanted to prevent false alarms from occurring.
Once the initial survey and tender was completed and approved it was time to start the works on site.
We specified a Grade L2 system for this site and opted to use some of the industry leading manufacturers equipment on this particular site in particular Advanced Electronics for the fire alarm system using their open protocol MX5000 2 loop panel known for its reliability and ease of use for the end user paired with Hochiki Addressable detection – also known for its longevity and reliability.
Using powered access equipment, our IPAF qualified technicians installed over 1400 metres of fire proof cabling to the structure of the building using britclips and stainless steel tie wraps to aid compliance with both BS5839.1-2025 and also BS7671 regarding premature collapse of cabling. Following this we installed over 84 optical smoke detectors, 12 manual call points and 10 sounder beacons around the perimeter providing the correct sound levels required for commissioning.
All of the 1.4km of cabling was linked back to a central fire alarm panel adjacent the main entrance of the site, the panel had to be mounted on a custom built frame we manufactured on site from steel unistrut which provided some stability on the single skin walls of the warehouse meaning our framework would take the weight of the fire alarm panel, standby batteries and ancillary equipment. Our cabling was installed down to the final panel location using a 4inch steel cable tray.
On commissioning the regulatory paperwork and handover pack including fire alarm zone plan was handed over to the client. This system was monitored using an external ARC provided by the client at their request.
