Fire Alarm & Life Safety System Projects

Here are some stories about fire protection systems, evacuation systems etc. from our customers.

## Ridgeway Mews development in Whakatu, Nelson

Signature Homes Limited has plans for the development and construction of the "Ridgeway Mews" at 40 Waterhouse Street near Enner Glynn in Whakatu, Nelson. The existing houses at 6-16 Jerningham Street and 50-74 will be moved to a new location, with some of those houses will be moved at the west arm of Jerningham Street and some will be moved to a different location.

When the construction after the development is completed, Johnson Controls are planned to install the aesthetically pleasing fire detection and alarm control system with Vigilant MX1 panels. The 3 mews buildings will house their own MX1 panel and will be networked together. Zettler's 850 series of MX addressable detectors (850P, 850PH etc.) in each mews will be fitted to a P80AVB sounder beacon base, with Nurse Station Annunciators (NSA) to display any condition of an alarm activation or fault per detector and AZM800 apartment zone modules to isolate a local smoke activated by a false alarm (such as burnt toast, bathroom steam etc.). These detectors have great algorithms to reduce a number of false alarms, ideal for this type 5 installation. Any thermal heat, sprinkler alarm, flow switch or manual call point will directly call the fire brigade, whereas standalone photoelectric smokes and multi-sensors with a combination of photoelectric smoke, heat and carbon monoxide (CO) gas, will give a local alarm to each mews.

## Expansion at Marlborough Airport

Woodbourne Airport (trading as Marlborough Airport Limited) is a small, controlled airport located 8 km west of Blenheim in the Marlborough region of New Zealand, on State Highway 6, Middle Renwick Road. Wikipedia

Marlborough Airport is located in the Marlborough locality of Woodbourne near Blenheim, and is a base for the Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF). Although, architects are planned to design for a building construction contractor "Robinson Construction Ltd." to expand the airport for new facilities on the premises, After, stages of development, the Nelson team from Johnson Controls will upgrade the old existing fire systems with F220 range of intelligent analogue addressable fire alarms panels from Pertronic, featuring a Honeywell Inertia I2000 branded Vigilant QE90 emergency warning and intercommunication system, plus some MX1 advanced fire detection and alarm panels.

## Marsden House Funeral Home system upgrade

Marsden House, located at the corner of Nile Street and Sussex Street, at 41 Nile Street in Nelson, is Nelson Tasman's leading independent funeral home offering unique affordable burial and cremation options. In fact, it is one of the leading independent funeral homes in New Zealand, as a member of New Zealand Independent Funeral Homes Limited (NZIFH).

Marsden House was built on Nile Street East in 1923. The land on which it sits has a longer history. The section, Town Acre 438, was purchased on 12 January 1843 by Dr Joseph Foord Wilson and Thomas Marsden. In December of that year, Bishop Selwyn visited Nelson, with plans for a church school.
