Control Rooms
Fire protection and security for control rooms and operations centres — the spaces that have to stay staffed and operational while they coordinate the wider site's response.

A control room or operations centre is the space a site depends on during any incident, so its own protection cannot force an evacuation or knock out the consoles that run the response. We design early detection with clean-agent suppression that is safe for continuously occupied rooms and leaves electronics intact, integrated with the access control and surveillance that govern who reaches a sensitive space. The aim is a room that detects and contains a fault while staff keep operating, backed by documentation for audit.
What's at stake
Sector risk profile
Continuous occupancy and operation
Control rooms are staffed around the clock and can't simply be evacuated and powered down. Suppression must be personnel-safe at design concentration and detection must avoid nuisance trips that disrupt operations.
Sensitive electronics and consoles
Video walls, consoles and comms equipment are intolerant of water and powder. Clean-agent suppression extinguishes without residue, keeping the room's monitoring and coordination capability intact.
Access and physical security
Operations centres hold sensitive systems and need controlled, auditable entry. Access control and surveillance must integrate with fire and egress so security never compromises safe evacuation.
