Germany has signed up Dubai-based Liberty Fire & Safety Equipment Trading to deploy the group's WES wireless temporary fire detection and alarm system at its country pavilion for the upcoming Expo 2020 event in Dubai. 

 

This makes the German Pavilion the latest in a long list of pavilions at the prestigious site to rely on WES for unrivalled fire protection during the construction process, said the statement from the company.

 

Liberty Fire & Safety Equipment Trading is a major distributor of the WES wireless fire alarm range, a system designed to protect construction sites, industrial properties, temporary buildings and ‘pop-up’ venues worldwide.

 

Designed and manufactured by UK-based Ramtech, a specialist wireless technology business, the innovative WES range is a wireless temporary fire alarm system, developed specifically for the construction industry and certified to EN54.

 

Another of the larger pavilions, the German Pavilion incorporates a combination of room shapes, sizes and heights which is challenging for a conventional wired system, particularly when moving the detection heads to allow for finishing works.

 

Liberty Fire & Safety said the units were installed in a matter of minutes and the system was put into service at the same time.

 

"Since it is completely wireless, this is not a problem for WES, which is extremely easy to reposition on site. Each unit can be relocated simply by removing it from its current location and positioning it in the new location," said a company spokesman.

 

"The best part is that there is no need for an electrician, no need for reprogramming and no cable re-routing - and all this adds to more saving and time on site," he explained.

 

"Once the permanent fire alarm system has been activated, the contractor can remove the units  and use it on his next project," he added.
