Remote ELV, ICT, security and audiovisual design for French commercial, residential, healthcare, education and data centre projects.
We support architects, MEP consultants, developers and contractors with coordinated ELV drawings, schedules, specifications and BIM/CAD deliverables. The fire alarm, CCTV and cabling design follows the French requirements confirmed for your project, including the fire authority's rules for public buildings.
Eight core systems, designed as one coordinated package for French projects.
Addressable fire detection and alarm design to NF S61-932 and the NF EN 54 series, as the project specifies where the project specifies it, with zoning, cause-and-effect and interfaces to access control and HVAC.
Fire alarm designCamera coverage, recording and storage sizing, and VMS integration, designed with CNIL guidance on video surveillance in mind: field of view, masking, retention and access control.
CCTV designReader, controller and credential architecture, door schedules and integration with intruder and fire systems for offices, campuses and residential buildings.
Access control designVoice alarm and public address design, speaker coverage, zoning and intelligibility planning for evacuation and normal use.
PA & voice alarmIntrusion zoning and perimeter detection with alarm signalling, and clear interfaces to CCTV and access control.
Intrusion detectionBMS and IBMS architecture, controller and sensor points for HVAC, lighting and metering, integrated with the ELV network.
BMS designBackbone, horizontal and rack cabling designs with schedules and containment routes, including fibre risers and Wi-Fi planning.
ICT cabling designConference, AV and IPTV distribution, racks, signal routing and control interfaces for meeting rooms, hotels and public areas.
AV system designThe French rules and market conditions that most often change the ELV design brief.
Fire safety for public buildings is reviewed by the local fire and rescue service (SDIS) and the building safety commission. The applicable standards and the fire strategy are confirmed with the authority and the project's fire engineer before the design is frozen.
The standards are confirmed for each project. NF S61-932 and the NF EN 54 series are used for fire detection and alarm where the project calls for them. Cabling and video standards follow the project specification. Final acceptance rests with the fire authority and the project's authorised professionals.
