Augean required a comprehensive fire detection and monitoring system to protect their waste management facilities at their site in Kirkby. The solution needed to ensure full regulatory compliance, provide site-wide coverage, and offer both local and remote monitoring capabilities.

THE SOLUTION
Centurion Fire & Security designed, installed, and commissioned a wireless addressable multi-panel L1 fire alarm system, delivering the highest category of fire protection under BS 5839-1:2017.

The installation included:

• Fire Alarm System: A fully networked L1 fire alarm system, with wireless links providing reliable communication between the main and remote building panels.
• Thermal CCTV Cameras: Installed across external areas, combining perimeter security with early fire-risk detection.
• Safety Devices: External manual call points and sounder VADs to ensure rapid and clear emergency alerts.
• Centralised Monitoring: Both fire detection and CCTV systems can be managed locally or remotely, giving Augean full visibility and control.

WHY WIRELESS?
The use of wireless technology allowed for a faster installation with minimal disruption to operations, while maintaining reliability and scalability for future site development.

CLIENT BENEFITS

• Compliance & Safety: Achieved full BS 5839 L1 fire protection standard.
• Dual Protection: Integrated fire and thermal CCTV monitoring from a single platform.
• Operational Flexibility: Remote access for real-time monitoring.
• Future-Proofing: System can be expanded as the site evolves.

OUTCOME
Augean now benefits from a robust fire and security solution that enhances site safety, streamlines management, and provides peace of mind across the site.
