Fire Alarm System Enhancements in Totton Warehouse

High-Level Detector Installation Following FRA

Last week, EAC Fire & Security teamed up with SOJ Fire & Security to assist with an ongoing fire alarm installation in a large industrial unit in Totton. The project followed an updated Fire Risk Assessment (FRA) that identified the need for additional high-level detection coverage.

FRA Actions and Project Scope

The FRA outlined several remedial actions, one of which included the installation of two additional detectors at elevated ceiling heights to improve fire safety compliance in the warehouse area. With time-sensitive requirements and logistical challenges due to ceiling height and roof structure, EAC was brought in to support SOJ Fire & Security in accelerating the project delivery.

High-Level Fire Detector Installation

Using powered access equipment, we installed and commissioned:

  • 2 additional high-mounted detectors
  • Cabling secured neatly along steel beams using specialist fixings
  • Appropriate use of a commissioning cap for safe device programming
  • System fully tested for integration with the existing alarm infrastructure

These new devices were installed in accordance with industry standards, ensuring optimal detection coverage in the warehouse environment.

Safe and Professional Access

Access to the high ceiling space was safely achieved using a large Speedy scissor lift, allowing our engineers to carry out precise installations while maintaining full compliance with health and safety protocols.

Working in Partnership

This collaborative approach between SOJ Fire & Security and EAC Fire & Security ensured the system could be completed swiftly and to the highest standard, helping the property owner meet FRA requirements without delay.
