Hochiki Case Study - Titanic Hotel, Belfast

Описание: Titanic Hotel, Belfast

Throughout the early 20th century, the now-listed site was the headquarters for world-leading ocean-liner builders, Harland and Wolff, making it the nerve-centre of the largest shipyard in the world. The company was responsible for the design and construction of dozens of ‘floating hotels’, the most famous of which being the ill-fated Titanic.

In more recent years, the area around the listed building has been transformed by property developers, Harcourt, to create the ‘Titanic Quarter’, a prestigious new water-front regeneration. This includes the creation of the Titanic Hotel, designed as an homage to Belfast’s shipbuilding history as well as its namesake ocean-liner. The building features an art-deco style interior that mirrors the craftsmanship and precise attention to detail paid when designing the RMS Titanic’s interior.

There were various considerations to take into account when designing a life safety system for the hotel. The project called for a solution that could be easily installed with minimal disruption, and networked to suit the various environments inside the hotel including bedrooms, kitchens, a public-accessed museum, and conference spaces.

To meet these requirements, Hochiki Europe supplied a range of products from its Enhanced Systems Protocol (ESP) range. This intelligent, addressable fire detection and alarm equipment is designed and manufactured to the highest international standards, so staff and building owners can rest assured that all products installed are ultra-reliable.
