Enhancing Campus Fire Safety & Alarm Visibility

Delivering advanced fire alarm monitoring solutions for King's College London

Talk To The Team

Who Are King's College London?

King's College London is one of the UK’s leading universities, supporting a large population of students, staff, researchers, and visitors across multiple academic and operational buildings throughout London. As part of its commitment to maintaining a safe and secure learning environment, the University sought to modernise fire safety systems and improve alarm monitoring capabilities across the estate.

Overview

Drax Technology partnered with King's College London to enhance fire safety and alarm monitoring capabilities across the University campus, beginning with the Bush House Campus. The project involved replacing the existing Siemens fire alarm infrastructure with a modern Gent fire alarm system alongside the implementation of an AMX graphical monitoring platform. The solution improved fire detection capabilities, strengthened operational visibility, and enabled real-time monitoring and alarm management across the site. The implementation created a scalable foundation for future integration and expansion across additional campus buildings.

Their Challenge

King’s College London required a more advanced and connected fire safety solution capable of improving alarm monitoring and operational response across campus buildings. The existing fire alarm infrastructure required modernisation to improve fire detection performance while providing clearer visibility into alarm activity and system status for operational teams. The University also wanted a scalable monitoring platform capable of supporting future integration with security systems and additional campus buildings.

The Solution

Drax Technology supported the implementation of a new Gent fire alarm system to replace the existing Siemens infrastructure across the Bush House Campus. Alongside the fire alarm upgrade, an AMX graphical monitoring platform was installed locally to provide real-time monitoring and detailed visualisation of connected systems.

The AMX platform delivered device-level reporting, graphical building maps, and clear alarm indications, enabling users to identify incidents quickly and make informed decisions during emergency situations. The solution was also designed to support future integration with the University’s wider security infrastructure and additional campus buildings.
