System: Access Control and Fire Alarm System


Background

We were asked to tender for a cat B fit out within an existing office block in the heart of Bishopsgate which included remodelling of an office space and removal of walls to give an open plan feel to the site. The works included modifications the existing Kentec single loop fire alarm system, building wide PA system, building wide evacuation system and tenant controlled Paxton access control system.

Solutions

The client provided us with a wish list to price against with various options to complete. On award we set together with cabling of the new exposed ceiling areas to allow the cabling to be sprayed black and labled as live fire cables to suit the building décor. Following this, we installed new black detectors and 4 x Paxton access control doors to newly built secure store rooms.

On completion of the works, a full maintenance was completed on the access control. Fire alarm and gas suppression system within the tenants space with reports issued on completion. All works were completed within the construction plan and handed over to the new tenant on completion.

Comment by Operations Manager of P&M Electrical “A Plus security exceeded all expectations on this project following a late award of the contract due to a different contractor pulling out. All fire and security works were completed when requested and signed off by the consultant on finish with no issues noted. We have continued working with A Plus on following projects and would fully recommend them.”

What our
clients have to
say about us

A Plus provides an excellent return on investment, not just through the solution installed, but the general experience they offer from pre-install to post-install and right through to the maintenance of the system. We knew we had made the right decision with A Plus as they offered a comprehensive and detailed proposal and project plan. The skill level of their engineers was a pleasant surprise with their knowledge of IT and networks, as well as electronic security, which made dealing with our internal IT team very smooth. Apart from that, the fact we never had to chase them for anything was a very nice surprise!

International Group of Schools

We chose A-Plus Security to carry out the upgrade of our electronic security systems for our 9 colleges and they have far exceeded our expectations in their approach to the projects. We are a UK wide organisation where the planning and mobilising of these major project around term times is time critical and A Plus Security have been nothing short of fantastic in the communication, there design proposals, openness to last minute changes, pre and post-sales support and their management of 3rd party companies and IT services. We would highly recommend A Plus Security to any organisation who are looking to install or upgrade their systems.
