Management control.
In addition, the modular Notifier UniNet-ID incorporates advanced technology to provide the Hatfield site with a complete monitoring and control facilities management system, via an easy-to-use and learn graphical user interface.
"By adopting a distributed 'cause and effect' matrix in this way, the ID3000 is uniquely programmed to meet Hatfield's highly complex site requirements by means of powerful 'Control by Event' (CBE) rules," says Trinity's Martin Low.
"As a result, such requirements as facility shutdown fire door control, smoke control and many others may be programmed quickly and easily, by interfacing directly with the existing voice alarm and smoke control systems, this also minimises disruption and ensures controlled evacuation and escalation in the event of a fire".
Team effort.
With previous positive experience of working with Notifier and Trinity, Land Securities has been especially delighted with the Hatfield installation.
"Notifier's technologically advanced yet thoroughly tested fire safety system, together with the unrivalled quality of Trinity's service support, ensures the high level of protection the site demands," says engineering manager, Dave Noonan.
"Equally importantly however, much of the success of this uniquely complex implementation has been down to everyone working as a single, unified team".
Looking ahead, plans are in hand to expand the Galleria site and Notifier's future-proof design is ideally placed to provide any additional fire safety protection required.
"The Notifier ID3000 fire protection system is ideally designed for large public facilities such as the Galleria," concludes John Simpson, sales manager, UK and Ireland, Notifier by Honeywell.
"It sets the highest standards in technical sophistication, functionality and reliability, at the same time remaining easy to install, programme and operate.".
