Protect your historic built environment from fire with Ramtech wireless safety solutions

Heritage properties can be particularly vulnerable to the risk of fire during renovation works. WES is perfect for use in these sensitive projects because it is wireless and EN54 compliant. Often these historic buildings are of both architectural and cultural significance so ensuring they have the highest protection possible is even more important.

An example of this in practice is at Stanford Hall DNRC project where our system was specified as it could replicate Zurich Insurance’s expectation that the temporary fire alarm system should ‘mirror the hardwired system’ fitted at Stanford Hall.

WES Fire and Emergency Wireless Alarms

Ramtech’s WES solution is a wireless fire, evacuation and emergency alarm system that is specifically engineered to deliver the highest standards of compliance while meeting the complex safety challenges presented during construction or renovation.

WES³ system can be easily deployed or relocated without any damage to the building’s fabric or complex installation. The units are placed in accordance with the building’s fire plan – including stairwells, lift shafts, and other appropriate locations according to the plan. WES call points are interlinked, meaning that all areas receive the same audible and visual alert signal, even if the fire is contained to just one of them.

Units can be numbered allowing for easy identification in the event of any issues and enabling personnel to quickly locate any reported incidents. Heat, smoke or dust resistant smoke detectors provide 24/7 automatic fire protection when site is unattended. The system is quick and easy to deploy, it takes just a few minutes for the units to be on active duty.

REACT App Site Alert and Monitoring

Historic buildings can become complex construction challenges because of the sympathetic approach needed to retain their character and heritage. The REACT system has been developed specifically to provide Construction teams with a simple and secure means of communicating fire, medical and other site emergencies to affected personnel, both on and off site. It combines innovative wireless connectivity, cloud-based data and an easy-to-use mobile app to create a fully integrated emergency response system.

The intelligent system can help emergency services to locate a casualty on site quickly or accurately tackle a fire at its source. These vital minutes can help reduce the risk to life as well as lessen damage to the building.

REACT ensures project management teams receive real-time information regarding site emergencies, enabling them to make immediate decisions based on accurate data, and instantly send customised alerts out to relevant site personnel. It also collates valuable data to ensure that should an issue occur on-site there is robust information available to review.
