With optimum fire and security protection from Xtralis Pty Ltd
01/03/05 - Xtralis Pty Ltd is providing complete protection for Concorde aircraft exhibitions, with VESDA and ADPRO selected as the best products available to meet stringent fire and security requirements for these priceless assets. Xtralis Pty Ltd’ VESDA Aspirating Smoke Detection is fully protecting the decommissioned Concorde aircraft at the Museum of Flight in East Fortune, while ADPRO, Xtralis Pty Ltd’ remote CCTV surveillance system, is shielding the Concorde aircraft now on display at Manchester Airport’s Aviation Viewing Park. For the Museum of Flight, VESDA offered the only suitable solution for safeguarding the ‘Alpha Alpha’ Concorde, which arrived from Heathrow Airport
Says David Dunn, Electronics Systems Officer, at the Museum: “As with any museum object, the aim was to leave the aircraft in its original condition as much as possible, so the last thing we wanted was to install large, conspicuous sensors. VESDA offered us the complete discretion we needed and it also provided us with the assurance of the earliest possible warning of a potential fire and excellent reliability. These are important considerations with an asset such as Concorde.”
Manchester Airport’s Aviation Viewing Park also needed to find a reliable and unobtrusive security system for its Concorde ‘Alpha Charlie’, which now resides on its own runway within the centre. The organisation needed to ensure that there was reliable protection and detection around the perimeter of the exhibit, whilst providing a 24-hour monitored system. The ADPRO product was selected for its ability to provide a reliable remotely monitored solution with images of the highest quality.
ADPRO, a renowned leader in providing reliable and highly effective protection of assets, met this need perfectly. ADPRO delivers fast and high-quality images, accurate alarm verification and round-the-clock monitoring from a single central location. Only ADPRO's portfolio of automatic intrusion detection, remote site management and video surveillance technologies could be relied upon to protect such a high-profile site as Manchester Airport’s Concorde exhibition.
As a provider of both aspirating smoke detection and digital CCTV security and surveillance solutions, Xtralis Pty Ltd is a pioneer of integrated superior protection. Xtralis Pty Ltd safeguards numerous sites and different types of industries worldwide – from high-profile exhibitions and irreplaceable data to telecommunications facilities and financial institutions.
