Fire detection technology protects $25m warehouse
Fike Safety Technology (FST), the UK-based manufacturer of intelligent fire detection solutions, has provided a state-of-the-art system to protect Unilever’s new $25M warehouse facility in Nigeria.
Combining video fire detection (VFD) with traditional fire alarm technology, the solution ensures any fire is detected at the earliest opportunity, before any serious damage is done to the stock or building. The warehouse is situated at Agbara in Ogun State and is used to store products manufactured in Unilever’s factory, which is co-located on the same site. The system was installed and commissioned by FST’s approved partner Phoenix Energy (Nigeria) Limited.
The system consisted of Fike’s SigniFire VFD and CyberCat Fire Alarm systems closely integrated to provide the overall fire detection solution. SigniFire continually analyses images from its cameras, looking for tell-tale characteristics that indicate the presence of smoke and/or flames.
