Project Summary & Sciens Scope
Oracle had eight buildings with obsolete fire systems from three different manufacturers. This put them at risk of system failure, which would force them into fire watch – where a fire alarm system is deemed not functional and staff has to walk every floor every hour to monitor any potential fire-related issues. Sciens helped bring them up to code with new flexible systems that can be expanded upon, as well as replacement of obsolete panels. In total we installed nearly 5,000 devices. Since 2006, Sciens has handled seven projects for Oracle.
Outcome
These buildings are now equipped with fully code-compliant fire alarm systems providing fire protection for occupants, including the campus’s 135,000 employees. Eventually, Sciens will help connect all buildings into one fire alarm system and perform test and inspect maintenance on every floor of each building to ensure systems remain compliant and occupants are kept safe.
