Construction In Progress
  • This project involves upgrading the existing main Building B fire alarm system. The upgrade includes all four (4) floors and is phased to perform the work one floor at a time, with device demolition limited to the Pharmacy area of Building B. The intent is to keep the system active during the renovation period with minimal downtime.
  • The upgrade work provides new:
    • Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP)
    • Remote Graphic Annunciator
    • Emergency Voice Communication Panel system
    • Replacement of 14 Nodes with new Siemens Panels
  • The existing, to remain, devices will have the existing cables reentered into the new Node panels and the system reprogrammed and certified by Siemens.
  • The new Nodes will tie into the new main FACP located in Building C with a fiber optic cable in Class X configuration. Conduit and FA cables will be extended to the new devices from the existing system where possible with new home runs to the panels.
