In the first phase of the project, we delivered a design brief outlining the existing system and provided a detailed design for a distributed, multiplexed, computer-based fire alarm system. As part of the design, we developed an installation sequence that minimized disruption to GTAA terminal operations while maintaining fire protection and life safety.

Our detailed review of the existing system’s structure at the outset of the project enabled the re-use of 90% of the system’s wiring and associated infrastructure, resulting in a significant reduction in cost and disruption.  We developed a method for enabling monitoring of the system at four locations distributed throughout the GTAA property, thus improving life safety.

Our scope included:

• Delivering a design brief outlining the existing system
• Providing a detailed design for a distributed, multiplexed, computer-based fire alarm system
• Developing an installation sequence that would minimize disruption to GTAA terminal operations while maintaining fire protection and life safety
• Providing field review and contract administration services during the construction phase of the project
