The Mater Dei Hospital opened in 2007 and at the time was
Europe's largest civil construction project for that year. Taking
six years to construct the facility now has the capacity for 800
beds.
The fire detection system at the hospital is based around
Apollo's Discovery range of analogue addressable fire detectors. It
consists of 15 Advanced addressable control panels networked
together controlling over 9000 Discovery detectors, 2300 sounders
and 1200 manual call points. In addition there are over 700
input/output modules that enable the fire detection system to
integrate with other building services. Areas above 10m in height,
such as chapels, halls and auditoria are fitted with beam
detectors.
An interface between the fire alarm network and the BMS enables
the complex cause and effect sequences that ensure the evacuation
plans for the building are activated correctly.
