Unilever contract
Fike Safety Technology (FST), the UK-based manufacturer of intelligent fire detection solutions, has provided a state-of-the-art system to protect Unilever’s new $25M warehouse facility in Nigeria.
Video Fire Detection (VFD) with traditional fire alarm technology, the solution ensures any fire is detected at the earliest opportunity, before any serious damage is done to the stock or building. The warehouse is situated at Agbara in Ogun State and is used to store products manufactured in Unilever’s factory, which is co-located on the same site.
Not only do warehouses create a difficult technological challenge for fire detection systems, but the potential loss due to damaged stock and assets or business continuity is vast. High-racking areas, packed with combustible materials provide the perfect conditions for fires to start and spread very quickly. It is imperative therefore, to deploy fire protection solutions that offer reliable and very early detection capability that is cost effective to install in large areas.
