Fire Suppression and Detection

The Data Centre raised floor space is protected against fire by employing the latest FM200 gaseous fire suppression system. This system is supported by an industry standard double knock ‘Very Early Smoke Detection Alarm’ (VESDA), point type smoke detectors and ion detection. The facility has been designed into multiple separated fire zones; minimising the impact in an event.

  • VESDA type smoke detection systems are installed in each room/sector throughout the data centre. These systems sample the quality of air to monitor the slightest change in smoke density in the area to deliver rapid threat detection.
  • FM200 fire suppression gas is used in the event of fire. FM200 is the industry standard gas that is reliable, fast acting and human safe. FM200 is a “zero ozone depleting” gas that is less harmful to the environment.
  • Digital Sense’s modular room design means that events are isolated from each other and minimises the risk of being in a large “mess hall” facility.
