Le Caudan waterfront selects UTCFS

UTCFS keeps the heat at bay in the Le Caudan Waterfront.

Facing the harbour, at the heart of the capital city of Port-Louis, Le Caudan Waterfront has become an essential actor of the vivid tourism and cultural life in Mauritius. With its 170 boutiques, it is a shopper’s must. A tasty cuisine can be experienced in the 18 restaurants. The waterfront is home to many local businesses in the two office towers, and can accommodate hundreds of visitors in either Le Suffren or Le Labourdonnais Hotels.

With its prime location, the waterfront is a must to visit while in Port Louis. You can shop, eat, complete your banking or just relax at the marina and watch as the waterfront welcomes boats from all over the world.

Pre-existing situation

The Caudan Waterfront is the leading tourist attraction in Port Louis, and such a high profile site requires the highest quality fire detection equipment. When designing the megastructure it was extremely important that the fire detection system be able to manage different areas and facilities according the environment on the marina. The system also needed to be scalable enough to hold the thousands of devices throughout the waterfront.

UTCFS solution

With the size of system a major factor, UTCFS provided its ZP addressable fire detection system.

The ZP control panels can manage up to 500 devices each, and the easy networking functionality between the numerous panels is what sealed the deal. This networking capability allows the system to be scaled in the future, meaning the initial investment in the UTCFS product will never be lost. Connected to these control panels are over 1000 detectors, more than 150 manual call points, and a substantial amount of alarm sounders.

The Ziton panels are networked to function together at one reporting station, which is monitored by Caudan Security in its control room. With control like this, Caudan Security can manage and secure the Waterfront with ease.
