A Company Well Connected
Henrys Honda in Glasgow, a longstanding dealership in the city’s South Side, required an upgrade to its fire alarm system to enhance safety and bring the system up to modern standards. HF Fire & Security was contracted to carry out the work. With the installation of a new Fire Alarm Panel (FAP) to replace the existing unit, installation of automated fire detectors throughout the building. and installation of manual call points across the premises.
Maintaining normal business operations during the installation was crucial. HF engineers had to ensure the existing fire alarm system remained fully operational while installing the new detectors and call points. Switchovers and testing were carefully scheduled to minimise disruption to both the dealership’s sales floor and repair operations.
Honda is one of the most recognisable car brands in the world and has been selling cars and bikes in the UK since 1966.
While Henrys Honda dealership in Glasgow may not have been around for the same length of time, they have been around long enough that the popular dealership in the South Side of Glasgow’s existing fire alarm system was due an upgrade.
The dealership wanted to improve their safety rating while upgrading their existing set up to a modern set up so called on HF Fire & Security to complete the fire alarm upgrade work.
We updated the existing fire alarm system which included the fitting of a new Fire Alarm Panel (FAP) to replace the previous unit along with the installation of new automated fire detectors and new manual call points across the building.
Project Challenges:
It was essential that normal business operations could continue while we carried out the fire alarm upgrade work. This meant that our engineers had to work around the existing day to day business operations of the dealership.
We had to keep the current fire alarm system operational while we completed the installation of new smoke detectors and call points before making the switch over and completing tests at convenient times that would cause no significant disruption to the branches sales and repair operations.
