Atlanta – Carter Brothers Fire & Life Safety recently completed the design and installation of an automatic fire detection system, along with an emergency voice communication and alarm system for Swissôtel Chicago and the hotel’s new 38,000 square foot Event Centre.
This new installation utilized the GE Security EST3 fire alarm system and included a retrofit of an existing hardwired fire panel. The new system is ADA compliant, capable of elevator recall, has a complete graphical interface, and meets all City of Chicago high rise codes. Carter Brothers Fire & Life Safety was specifically chosen for the project because of the company’s extensive experience and expertise with high rise fire alarm system retrofits in Chicago.
The GE Security EST3 was selected for the project because its’ distributed technology is designed to survive expected and unexpected events. Carter Brothers Fire & Life Safety has completed similar projects as 1401 State St. (Chicago, IL), Monarch Condominiums (New York, NY), and Post International (San Francisco, CA).
