Project Overview

The new Aurora Innovation Centre within the British Antarctic Survey was constructed to facilitate new academic, business and policy partnerships that focus on excellent research and entrepreneurial activity in the areas of climate change, environmental stewardship and technologies for challenging environments.

The project involved the installation of a Gent Vigilon fire detection system in the new building and the upgrade of the existing Gent system in the main building.

A Nimbus Fire Alarm Management System gateway was installed to provide real-time data of system events and provide compliance management information.

The project also included the installation of a Honeywell Network 8 Emergency Voice Communication System.

Sunfish continue to maintain the site through its team of locally based specialist fire alarm engineers.
