IMG Worlds of Adventure is an indoor theme park set to open in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Xtralis VESDA-E aspirating smoke detectors have been fitted. The centralised detection architecture with up to 120 sampling points per detector, with auto supervision and cleaning, lowers servicing time by up to 90pc, the makers Xtralis say. VEA will protect the entire site, with over 50 detectors and over 2000 sampling points.
Lennard Otto, CEO of IMG Worlds of Adventure, said: “When we open, IMG Worlds of Adventure will be an industry leader, not only in the provision of entertainment, but in all areas of operation, including guest security and protection. Ultimately, the safety of our guests is of upmost priority to IMG Worlds of Adventure, and we are proud to partner with industry titan Xtralis to offer unprecedented, state-of-the art protection, to ensure that our guests are offered the best theme-park experience possible.”
And Samir Samhouri, Chairman, CEO and President of Xtralis Group, said: “IMG Worlds of Adventure is an architectural marvel, and its certain success means fire detectors must assure the best protection to the many lives and valuable assets with no operational disturbance. VESDA-E VEA, Xtralis’ latest innovation, is transforming the industry of traditional smoke detection delivering pinpoint addressability and unique assured detection with centralized test and maintenance. VESADA-E VEA can now address all market segments and applications that traditional ASD detectors could not address before.”
The adventure park will consist of four zones including global brands Cartoon Network and MARVEL and original concepts IMG Boulevard and the Lost Valley – Dinosaur Adventure, plus retail outlets and roller-coasters and thrill-rides. IMG Worlds of Adventure has partnered with over 20 blue-chip companies including Bose, Avaya, Pelco, Cisco and Microsoft.
About the detectors
They use patented air sampling points and multi-channel micro bore air-sampling tubes with three alarm sensitivity settings for the sampling points. As a multi-channel addressable system, the VEA detector is able to divide a protected space into sampling locations, enabling the localisation of potential sources of fire for faster incident response. As for detector testing and maintenance , service technicians can maintain the detectors without scaffolding, or lift equipment. Visit www.Xtralis.com/VEA.
