Guardian House, a listed building and the former Bradford City Registry Office, had been unused and at risk of dilapidation. It’s being refurbished by Inspired Neighbourhoods a social business in Bradford, as offices and community space. Centurion Fire & Security Ltd advised updating the fire detection and alarm, and recommended Comelit-PAC’s LogiFire system, with the wireless option installed in the graded area of the building to avoid any extra cabling.
Assim Hussain, Chief Executive Officer of Inspired Neighbourhoods, says: We are committed to revitalising the building, maximising community benefit, and contributing to the economic regeneration of Bradford’s city centre. The redevelopment plan anticipates hosting a range of services that will attract up to 300 people to the city centre daily. With such a responsibility to the community, we have to ensure their complete safety. Centurion Fire & Security Ltd supported us to deliver on total fire protection, recommending Comelit-PAC’s LogiFire wireless system to perfectly suit the building’s intended needs while preserving its historical integrity.”
Building on the LogiFire system, Comelit-PAC introduced a new range of wireless devices, for installations where wired solutions may not be practical. The translators can expand a system, without the need for cabling.
Nathan Douglas-Smith, Director of Centurion, adds: “The installation at Guardian House was a unique challenge due to its listed status and historical significance. Comelit-PAC’s LogiFire wireless system provided the perfect solution, allowing us to enhance fire safety without compromising the building’s structure and aesthetics. The flexibility and reliability of the LogiFire system ensures we can deliver total fire protection with ongoing remote reporting by the panel via the cloud.”
Comelit-PAC’s wireless devices come with addressable or conventional translators capable of cloud and remote monitoring. This feature cuts out the need for extensive cabling, so reducing installation time and overall project costs, the product firm says. The addressable translator sits on the loop with a built-in isolator, so allowing for the indication of tamper faults, battery faults, device faults, contamination levels, and alarm reporting by the panel and remotely via the cloud.
Mandy Bowden, Comelit-PAC Fire Manager, adds: “The demand for wireless fire detection systems is growing significantly, and our LogiFire solution is at the forefront of this innovation. By offering a system that combines ease of installation with advanced monitoring capabilities, we can ensure listed buildings like Guardian House are protected. At the same time, we demonstrate how heritage and modern technology can work hand in hand to create safer communities.”
