The waste treatment company Augean has had a wireless, addressable multi-panel fire alarm fitted at its Kirkby site, giving local and remote monitoring. Comelit-PAC’s LogiFire product was installed and commissioned by Centurion Fire & Security.
The manufacturer and Huddersfield-based installer designed the system to meet the highest category of fire protection under BS 5839-1:2017. The wireless product enabled a faster installation with minimal disruption, while still ensuring reliability and offering scalability for site development, the firms say.
Emma Smith, Site Manager at Augean said: “Great service from Centurion, the installation guys always worked efficiently and professionally. We’re pleased with the Comelit-PAC products installed and would be happy to recommend, especially the wireless aspect that have made a real difference in our fire safety set-up.”
Thermal CCTV cameras were positioned across external areas, to give perimeter security with fire risk detection. External manual call points and sounder VADs were installed to give emergency alerts.
Centralised platform
Both systems were integrated into a centralised platform, so Augean could manage the product at any time, from any location, with visibility across its operations. This dual protection has meant streamlined management processes besides site safety, the manufacturer adds.
George Antemes, Key Account Manager at Centurion Fire & Security, said: “Working on this project was a great opportunity to demonstrate the efficiency and quality of our team. By adopting Comelit-PAC’s multi-panel wireless solution, we were able to complete the works quickly and seamlessly, maintaining full operations throughout. The system’s flexibility and ease of installation across the site helped us deliver a high-standard, fully compliant fire safety solution with minimal disruption.”
And Mandy Bowden, Fire Manager at Comelit-PAC, added: “Waste management sites present demanding fire risks, and achieving L1 compliance was essential for Augean. By combining our fire detection system with integrated thermal CCTV monitoring, we’ve delivered a reliable and scalable solution that ensures complete visibility and futureproof protection across the facility.”
