Ramtech Takes Fire Safety Up a Gear at Hungarian Grand Prix
PROVIDING innovative fire safety technology, global wireless solutions provider Ramtech has revealed its role protecting the prestigious F1 Hungarian Grand Prix 2024, with its WES system utilised across several temporary buildings for optimum site protection. A key feature of the WES system is its robust radio mesh network, which ensures seamless communication between devices without interfering with existing systems.
This large-scale development is a landmark project in terms of sustainability. In order to properly cover the over 370.000 sq ft site, Ramtech’s partners Wingate installed both the WES3 Wireless Fire Alarm System and REACT Emergency Notification System. The vision for Timber Square is not just to create a sustainable building but to set a new benchmark for environmental responsibility in construction. The development will feature state-of-the-art facilities and design elements that promote energy efficiency, reduce carbon emissions, and enhance the overall quality of life for its occupants. The project is strategically situated near London Bridge and Waterloo stations, ensuring excellent connectivity to public transport, walking, and cycling paths.
Working closely with Hungarian partner, High Security Kft, Ramtech supplied its EN54-25 compliant WES3 wireless fire and evacuation system for various structures including media spaces, bathrooms, dressing rooms and conference areas. These facilities were purpose-built for the race and lacked permanent fire alarm systems, so the system helped to deliver enhanced safety for personnel and equipment throughout the event. Adam Kovics, export sales manager at Ramtech, said: “It’s a privilege to get to work on such a renowned event as the F1 Grand Prix, which gives us the opportunity to showcase how robust and reliable our systems are on the world stage. “WES provided an ideal fire safety solution for the temporary structures, offering ease of installation and removal post-event and ensuring safety and compliance with event regulations. “It is certainly a proud moment for the team in supporting the safety and 24/7 monitoring of this iconic race.”
