Three Surrey Barns Car Collection
Wireless
Three Surrey barns used to store a unique collection of supercars are now being monitored by Apollo's innovative REACH Wireless fire devices.
Three barns, two of which are 16th century listed barns, house a multi-million-pound supercar collection, providing a unique challenge when it comes to fire detection.
The Challenge
Ablaze Building Solutions Ltd were tasked with interconnecting three storage areas with a single integrated fire system to protect high value property and not damage the heritage site. The project needed:
- A solution that didn’t disrupt the framework of the buildings
- Limited downtime
- Connecting multiple physically separate structures
- Category P2 fire alarm requirements
The Solution
Ablaze Building Solutions Ltd chose Apollo’s REACH Wireless for the project, its custom survey kit offered the ability to survey, design and implement a system that harmoniously integrated with the building’s structures, while also offering complete coverage and protection.
The installation and commissioning process was completed within a remarkably short period of time, causing virtually no physical impact.
REACH Wireless is designed to solve challenging installation scenarios for structures with restricted or complex access and installation conditions – such as listed buildings – where wired installation is not desirable.
The logistical challenges presented by this project were significant. Apollo's REACH Wireless enabled us to minimise impact on the fabric, a huge plus given the heritage of two of the buildings. These state-of-the-art devices not only meet the client’s Category P2 fire alarm requirements, but also provide the versatility needed to handle regular vehicle movements in and out of the barns.
