High-Rise Fire Alarm Upgrade Programme

Sector

Social Housing

Location

Manchester

Service

Active Fire

In January 2018, Fieldway was appointed by Wythenshawe Community Housing Group to design, supply and install new fire alarm systems with remote monitoring across nine 16-storey high-rise blocks.

A dedicated Project Manager oversaw delivery, supported by seven engineers and a Lead Engineer. Protec 6500 fire alarm panels and AICO detectors were installed across the nine sites. Fieldway completed the programme ahead of schedule, strengthening the relationship with WCHG and leading to further fire alarm installations and passive fire works arising from Fire Risk Assessment findings.
