Cocor
Cocor
Cocor (Crane in English) is a 35 year old apparel store which is located at the geographical centre of Romania, from which all the road distances to Bucharest are measured. The Cocor store was recently renovated while implementing a brand new concept: a store with brand owners as tenants, standing behind the pledge to house multinational brands. As part of the renovation, the exterior of the site has been fitted with an enormous LED installation. Measuring 565 m², it's nearly Continental Europe's largest LED installation on a single building. These investments transform the Cocor in an attractive and very successful commercial centre.
Pre-existing situation & UTC Fire & Security's role
When Cocor was renovated, along with the increased profile of the site, the development team decided to implement a new full-blown security solution that would safeguard this investment and its visitors for many years to come. Requirements and specifications were set out listing three major systems: intrusion detection, access control and fire detection. After reviewing all requirements, Helinick Ltd., a Romanian security installer, tendered to this prestigious project using UTC Fire & Security's solutions. Not long after, the installation could commence.
UTC Fire & Security's solution
Helinick Ltd. provided Cocor with UTC Fire & Security's solutions for Intrusion detection, access control and fire detection. While the whole site is fitted with a large deal of motion, glass break and other detectors to cover intrusion detection, sensitive areas throughout the site are equipped with badge readers, restricting access to unauthorised personnel and visitors. All elements of these two applications are managed by the ATS Master control panel, providing a reliable, user friendly and cost-efficient solution to manage access control and intrusion detection. The FP2864N fire detection panel has been placed, managing over 740 smoke detectors, 45 heat detectors, 65 manual call points and three infra red beam detectors. Altogether these different types of detectors cover the entire Cocor Store and will signal an alarm at an early stage whenever a hazard is detected, making sure security staff and fire brigades can manage these threats at the earliest possible time, preventing possible disasters. Having these systems in place Cocor can provide their customers and visitors the level of security and safety they deserve.
