Fire Safety Solution for the Musée d'Orsay Renovation
The Musée d’Orsay in Paris is undergoing a major renovation from 2022 to 2027 to enhance visitor experience while preserving its historic structure. Since the museum remains open throughout the renovation, a non-invasive fire safety solution was essential to ensure the protection of both the site and its millions of visitors.
Challenge
The renovation posed several fire safety challenges. With over three million visitors annually, ensuring fire protection without disrupting operations was a priority. Additionally, safeguarding the historic architecture while accommodating evolving site conditions during construction required a flexible approach.
Solution
To address these challenges, Ramtech deployed WES3, a state-of-the-art wireless fire detection and alert system. The system provided comprehensive fire safety coverage across tunnels, galleries, and site offices, ensuring that every part of the construction site was protected. Real-time monitoring was made possible through WES REACT Cloud, allowing instant alerts and efficient response coordination. The solution complied with APSAD fire safety regulations and was certified to the NF S61-970 standard, ensuring it met both French and European fire safety requirements.
Outcome
With the implementation of WES3, fire safety compliance across the Grand Paris Express project was significantly enhanced. The flexible and scalable nature of the system allowed it to adapt to changing site conditions, providing reliable protection without disrupting construction activities. The rapid and non-invasive installation process minimized downtime, while the long-term cost efficiency of the system ensured it could be reused for future infrastructure projects.
