Data Centre Fire Suppression | Data Centre Facilities
Fire Suppression
- Data Centre areas are to be fitted with a fully addressable two stage fire detection system that monitors the under floor and the room.
- Detectors with 50% mix of optical and ionisation are to be installed split across 2 separate zonal-loops, to meet BS 5839, 6266, 5445 and 5588.
- Very early smoke detection alarms (VESDA) to be installed throughout the facility.
- Dry sprinkler fire detection system to meet BS 5306, 3115 and with LFEPA approval.
- Whilst dry sprinkler is the main fire suppression method employed, gas suppression areas may be available for dedicated tenancy areas.
- The planned systems are designed to minimise any possible customer disruption and to ensure that any minor problems remain localised.
