Masterfire Project Managed a Site-Wide Fire Detection & Alarm & Emergency Lighting Upgrade at University Hospital Waterford. Masterfire successfully completed a large-scale upgrade of both the Fire Alarm & Emergency Lighting systems at University Hospital Waterford in early 2021.
University Hospital Waterford is a large acute hospital facility with a capacity for 431 inpatients and a further 85-day procedure beds.
Fire Alarm System Upgrade
The Fire Alarm System upgrade involved the installation of 75 new fire alarm control panel networks and graphic packages, 6050 new fire detection points, and 65 km of fire-rated cable. The Emergency Lighting System upgrade involved the installation of 50 new emergency light control panels, 5200 new emergency luminaires and 47 km of fire rated cable.
Masterfire managed this project from design to installation, commission, system handover and continued maintenance. During the project, they consistently met the needs of the live healthcare environment, from complying with infection control measures to protecting patient privacy & dignity and assigning fall back areas.
