Large-scale educational environments with multiple operational zones require consistent and reliable fire system monitoring across all buildings. In this instance, the estate comprised five separate campus locations, each operating a mix of academic, residential, and support infrastructure.
With fire detection systems already deployed across the estate, the requirement was to introduce a centralised monitoring solution capable of consolidating alarm data from multiple Fike fire alarm panels. The objective was to improve operational visibility, standardise alarm handling, and ensure scalability across a rapidly expanding campus environment. Key requirements included:
The deployment covered a large, multi-site academic environment operating across geographically separated campuses. The estate included a combination of lecture theatres, administrative buildings, student accommodation, and extensive sports and recreational facilities.
As a major public higher education institution, the estate forms part of a nationally recognised academic network and spans a significant land area developed to support both education and residential life. The distributed nature of the estate created additional complexity in maintaining consistent operational oversight across all locations.
Working in partnership with Spectrum Safety Solutions Private Limited, Cortech Developments delivered Datalog 5 software, integrated via a dedicated Fike interface driver to connect fire alarm panels across all five sites.
Datalog provided a unified monitoring platform designed to aggregate and normalise fire alarm events from multiple independent systems into a single operational interface. The solution enabled:
Spectrum Safety Solutions provided on-site technical expertise, configuration support, and commissioning assistance across all five locations. Their role ensured:
This partnership approach ensured consistent delivery standards and effective integration across a complex multi-site estate.
The solution delivered a significant improvement in fire system visibility across all locations. Key benefits included:
