Second Phase of Fire Protection Installed at Westminster Cathedral
Phase II of the intelligent fire detection system at the
Cathedral Church of Westminster, the pre-eminent Roman Catholic
place of worship in Great Britain, is nearing completion. The
system is being supplied and commissioned by Technical Alarm
Systems Ltd of Southampton and is based on Apollo XP95 analogue
addressable fire detectors.
The initial phase of the fire
detection system was completed in 2004. Phase II has involved the
installation of a further one hundred XP95 devices and an
aspirating system. Arranged over four loops, the system will
eventually cover the main body of the Cathedral, its side chapels
and associated buildings. The fire services are automatically
alerted in the event of a fire.
