Birthing centre safety

29 October 2014


Kentec fire alarm control panels are at the heart of a recently completed fire alarm control panel system upgrade at John Radcliffe Hospital Oxford Women’s Centre.

The installation is designed to improve the centre’s evacuation procedures and the future implementation of loop powered base sounders throughout the building.
 

 
Designers and installers, Pyrotec Systems, chose the fire control panels and repeater units to replace existing addressable fire alarm control panels.
 
According to Kentec, the nine Syncro analogue addressable fire control panels and six repeater units will enable the new network to provide a complete building system solution with flexible cause and effect capabilities.

 

Around 6500 babies are born each year at the centre, which cares for women with difficult pregnancies or babies who need special care. The hospital’s delivery suite is designed to encourage women to remain mobile during labour.
