Foxtail Road Ipswich
This Commercial Fire Alarm Installation Ipswich project delivered a conventional fire alarm solution for a large commercial warehouse using two linked C-TEC control panels and Apollo Series 65 conventional devices throughout the protected areas.
Conventional Fire Protection At Warehouse Scale
The Commercial Fire Alarm Installation Ipswich project at Foxtail Road involved a substantial commercial warehouse requiring a straightforward, robust and maintainable fire alarm system.
SCM Fire & Safety delivered two C-TEC conventional fire alarm panels linked together to provide coordinated system operation across the premises.
Apollo Series 65 conventional devices were installed throughout the protected areas, providing a consistent commercial fire detection specification across the warehouse.

Testing & Commissioning
Devices and control-panel operation tested and verified before final project handover.
Engineer Testing Across The Installation
Functional testing formed an important part of the final project delivery, verifying device operation and system response.
Testing confirms that activation at field devices is correctly received at the linked C-TEC control equipment and that the system responds as intended.
