The Titanic Hotel, a listed building in Belfast's Titanic Quarter, has installed a state-of-the-art life safety system from Hochiki Europe. The hotel's unique design and layout presented a challenge for installers Atlas World, who worked closely with Richard Wharram, Regional Sales Manager at Hochiki Europe, to ensure that the system met the hotel's specific requirements.

The project required a solution that could be installed with minimal disruption and networked to suit the various bedrooms, kitchens, public-accessed museum, and conference spaces. To achieve this, Atlas World used a mix of ACC-EN multi-sensors and ALN-EN smoke sensors from Hochiki Europe's ESP range. Over 200 sensors were installed throughout the hotel, providing comprehensive coverage and ensuring the safety of guests and staff.

One of the key benefits of the system is its ease of maintenance. The sensor heads can be accessed from ground level using specialized smoke poles, allowing facilities managers to carry out routine maintenance tasks without disrupting the hotel's operations. The 'twist-fit' feature also allows flexibility when fitting at height or in hard-to-reach areas, making installation and maintenance a breeze.

The ESP range of intelligent, addressable fire detection and alarm products from Hochiki Europe were used throughout the system. These products are designed to be easy to install and maintain, with sensors featuring an electronics-free, 'twist-fit' mounting base. This makes it simple for installers to fix the bases at the 'first fix' stage, with sensors added later once the area is clear.

The Titanic Hotel's life safety system was designed to meet the unique needs of a listed building like this one. The hotel features an art-deco style interior and is located in a historic location that was once the headquarters of shipbuilders Harland and Wolff. The site has been redeveloped by property developers, Harcourt, into the 'Titanic Quarter', a waterfront regeneration project.

In conclusion, the installation of Hochiki Europe's life safety system at the Titanic Hotel demonstrates the company's ability to provide innovative solutions that meet the unique needs of listed buildings like this one. With its comprehensive coverage and ease of maintenance, the system ensures the safety and comfort of guests and staff, making it an ideal choice for hotels like the Titanic.
