Facilities managers take note: Belfast’s newly opened Titanic Distillery prioritises safety and heritage with Hochiki Europe‘s life safety solutions.
The restored Pumphouse building, a historic landmark, utilises a whiskey-making process involving flammable materials – Hochiki’s adaptable ESP multi-sensors and optical sensors addressed this concern. Programmable to account for heat, steam, and other environmental factors, these devices minimise false alarms – a critical factor for visitor safety and smooth operations.
Ensuring clear and consistent alarms is paramount. Hochiki’s loop-powered sounders and beacons guarantee audibility and visibility throughout the facility, even in noisy areas or for personnel wearing ear protection. Additionally, their low energy consumption maximises system efficiency.
Preserving historical integrity was a top priority for the client. Hochiki’s fire safety products boast a discreet aesthetic, seamlessly integrating with the historic surroundings without compromising protection.
“We needed to ensure that all the work carried out complied with the specifications set out by the heritage experts. Aesthetically the design of Hochiki products is modern yet simple, so they can just slip into the background, do their job, all without detracting from or impacting on the surroundings. This was a feature that was also important to Titanic Distillers”. Explains Gavin Nesbitt, the technical sales manager at Atlas World, a leading fire detection installation company.
Project success was achieved despite supply chain challenges with Hochiki’s excellent communication and alternative solutions ensuring an on-time project completion.
Atlas World is now a loyal Hochiki customer, and commended the products’ reliability, ease of installation, and exceptional service. The Titanic Distillery, open since April 2023, relies on the company with ongoing maintenance expertise to safeguard its valuable assets and visitors with the Hochiki devices.
For facilities with unique challenges, Hochiki offers adaptable solutions for optimal fire protection.
