introducing the new analogueaddressable system while keepingthem both operating withoutreducing the fire cover proved achallenge, but one which wassuccessfully managed by bothparties. The installation took abouteight weeks and instant benefit wasestablished for the Sheratonmanagement with unwanted alarmactivations drastically reduced toalmost nil.

There were no recorded guestcomplaints during the entireexercise, a testimony to thededication of customer satisfactionshared and borne by both theSheraton Grand and FMS Fireand Security.

From 2000 to 2002, theconstruction of the award-winningOne Spa took place; again, FMSFire and Security were invited toassist with the design, installationand full integration of the new six-storey building with the existinghotel fire systems. This added afurther three control panels andsome 500 plus Apollo field devicesto the system network.

Client Case Studies

Sheraton GrandHotel & Spa

The Sheraton Grand Hotel and Spais one of the most prestigious andluxurious 5 star hotels in Scotland,located on Lothian Road with viewsof the iconic Edinburgh Castle.

When the hotel was constructed in1985 addressable fire alarmsystems were still on the drawingboard. The technology availablethen was not as intelligent as ourmodern day analogue addressableproduct line. It was functional butunable to identify anything smallerthan a section of the buildingallocated into a physical fire zone,sometimes incorporating as manyas 20 or 30 rooms. This presentedthe hotel management with a timeconsuming exercise to determinethe exact location of a fire or faultevent alerted to them by the firealarm control panel.

The maintenance of the system wasawarded to FMS Fire and Security in1993 and along with the trust thatwas built up between FMS and theclient, came the inevitable decisionto provide the hotel with a state ofthe art fire detection and alarmsystem. Jointly, the two parties puttogether a plan of actionincorporating the design,installation and indeed the logisticsof how to provide the new systemwithout any closure of rooms orfacilities to the guests. A majorundertaking indeed, but such wasthe knowledge of how our clientoperated and the comfort of ourclient knowing how FMS operated,that the proposal was given thegreen light by the management andthe building owners.

A phased installation including a fullrewiring exercise was undertaken.Maintaining the existing system,

fire detection which of courseApollo Fire Detectors are theleading light. The Discovery rangeof multi-sensors and the all newDiscovery sounder beacon baseswere used throughout the bedroomlevels and upper floor public areasoffering even greater systemflexibility and reliability.

FMS are now maintaining andmanaging, along with the fire alarmsystem, the CCTV, Access Controland Intruder alarm systemsthroughout the Hotel and One Spaand enjoy an excellent workingrelationship with all the staff andmanagement of the Sheraton GrandHotel & Spa.
