Advanced installs fire system at Siraj Tower in Dubai

With state-of-the-art amenities, luxury interiors, a fully equipped gym and a rooftop swimming pool, the Siraj Tower has become one of the most sought-after residential projects in Dubailand’s ambitious US$64bn entertainment complex.

As the exclusive distributor of Advanced in Dubai, Cignetix was responsible for integrating this crucial part of the active fire protection of the building. Four Advanced Axis EN panels, recently certified to the EN54 standard by FM Approvals, and 2000 devices have been installed alongside its high-performance fire telephone solution.

Sunil Gopalkrishnan, managing director at Cignetix, said, “Thanks to their reputation for performance, quality and ease-of-use, Advanced are our preferred choice of fire alarm, fire telephone and voice evacuation systems - capable of handling large networks of up to 200 panels and complex cause and effect programming.”

The company stated that its fire telephone solution is ideal for high and low-rise apartment buildings, hotels, universities, government and military sites where local fire departments and emergency personnel need access to fire/emergency communications.

Designed for clear, easy-to-use control, the conventional system benefits from LED status indications showing its operational state - whether the system has a call-in, is connected or is in fault condition. The fire telephone system is compliant with EN54 parts two and four and can be configured as either a standalone, independent system or completely integrated into the Axis EN fire system.

Steve Carroll, advanced’s general manager for the Middle East, added, “The Siraj Tower is another fantastic example of the successful partnership between Cignetix and Advanced. In order to take full advantage of what our products offer it takes companies like Cignetix, who have the skills and experience required, to apply Advanced to sites such as this prestigious high-rise.”
