MINNEAPOLIS, 16 Nov., 2011. Honeywell (NYSE:HON) announced that it has been awarded a $21.7 million contract to provide Heathrow's new Terminal 2 with an integrated fire safety, public address and voice alarm system, along with advanced lighting controls and building management systems covering mechanical and electrical operations.
Honeywell's integrated fire detection, public address and voice alarm system allows for "smart evacuation" procedures in the case of emergency. Voice alarm messages are transmitted by loudspeaker in affected areas only. The system also communicates non-emergency and live flight announcements through the same individually-addressable speakers, enabling each communication to target the intended audience.
Main contractor HETCo — a joint venture between Ferrovial Agroman and Laing O'Rourke — awarded the contract to Honeywell following the successful completion of the largest integrated fire detection, voice alarm and public address system ever installed in the world to date, now operational at Heathrow's Terminal 5.
