Safety delivered at birthing centre

Kentec fire alarm control panels are at the heart of a recently completed fire alarm control panel system upgrade at John Radcliffe Hospital Oxford Women’s Centre, which will allow improvements to the its evacuation procedures, and the future implementation of loop-powered base sounders throughout the building.

Designers and installers, Pyrotec Systems, chose Kentec fire control panels and repeater units to replace existing addressable fire alarm control panels because of their excellent reliability and compatibility with existing field devices. The nine Kentec Syncro analogue addressable fire control panels and six repeater units will enable the new network to provide ‘a complete building system solution, with flexible cause and effect capabilities’. 

Around 6,500 babies are born each year at the Women’s Centre, which cares for women with difficult pregnancies or babies who need special care.
