Advanced Detection Systems
BR Design offers years of industry experience with the installation, servicing and testing of a wide range of Advance Detection systems such as VESDA Air Aspiration, Beam Detection and Flame Detection.
Often design engineers face challenges in applying standard fire detection principals to spaces and equipment such as server rooms with high air movement, self contained air conditioning units, gymnasiums and auditoriums, and institutional detention units. Although these areas provide design challenges, they often contain high value or critical equipment, or contain a group of patients or inmates that present safety and security challenges to quickly evacuate. With this in mind it is critical that the type of Advance Detection used provides early warning detection of the presence of a fire to allow for safe equipment shutdowns and evacuation of occupants.
