Matrix Fire and Security worked alongside Greenside Integrated Services to complete the £100 million development of a new eight-form entry secondary school and sixth form academy. Matrix fitted new fire detection panels, with the site being completed five months ahead of schedule.
Matrix’s work included the user-friendly Atena Two-Panel Network System, which operates with four loops per panel and 250 devices per loop. The Atena system utilises a two-stage alarm procedure, with a ‘lock down’ facility. This product also takes in panic alarms and fire brigade notifications, and can manage potential nuisance alarms, evacuating students and staff while causing minimal disruption from learning.
