Cruise Control
At 220,000 gross registered tons, the Oasis
of the Seas, operated by Royal Caribbean
Cruises Ltd., is 40 percent larger than any
other cruise ship ever built. Providing fire
protection for a vessel of this size required
a seasoned project management team and
fire safety solutions that meet the highest
industry standards, while also minimizing
space and weight requirements. Today,
the Oasis of the Seas — and its 6,000 pas-
sengers and 2,100 crew members — are
protected by UTC Fire & Security’s Marioff
HI-FOG® water mist protection system, as
well as the Autronica AutroSafe® interactive
fire detection system and AutroMaster®
integrated safety and emergency manage-
ment system, which was developed in close
collaboration with Royal Caribbean.
In the Pipeline UTC Fire & Security serves the energy sector by partnering with major
Engineering, Procurement, Construction (EPC) contractors worldwide, to design fire safety
systems to protect oil pipelines, gas fields, power plants, and turbines around the world.
UTC Fire & Security’s Det-Tronics® flame and gas detectors monitor pipelines around the
world for unwanted fires and gas leaks to ensure uninterrupted energy transmission. In the Middle East, several UTC
Fire & Security businesses — including Silvani, Sides, Kidde Fire Fighting, and Angus Fire Engineering — provide fire
trucks, monitors, pumps, water delivery systems, and foam-making equipment to the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company.
“As an EPC contractor, we rely on our suppliers to deliver high-quality products on-time so that we can meet our
commitments to the end-user. Kidde and Angus Fire have earned a good reputation with CPECC for their fire
fighting engineering capabilities, global footprint, and strong backing by UTC.”

Emerging Firepower
The energy industry is one of many that
depend on UTC Fire & Security’s products
to perform flawlessly in demanding condi-
tions. Energy infrastructure projects are
particularly critical in India, where the
expansion of power and gas plants sup-
ports the region’s growth. Vindhyachal
Super Thermal Power Plant, operated by
National Thermal Power Corporation, is
India’s largest thermal power plant and
is equipped with hydrant, spray, foam,
and detection and alarm systems from
UTC Fire & Security. The state-of-the-art
Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals
Limited refinery, which processes 12.5
million tons of crude oil annually, also
selected the company for its fire safety
equipment, which includes fire hydrant, spray,
and foam systems, as well as an advanced
detection and alarm system. For the
Anpara B Thermal Power Plant, operated
by the Uttar Pradesh Electricity Board,
UTC Fire & Security has successfully
supplied, installed, tested, and commis-
sioned a wide array of fire safety products.

Safe Energy Management
Between 130 and 200 kilometers off the
northwest coast of Australia are the Gorgon
Gas Fields, containing the continent’s
largest-known gas resource. Located on
Barrow Island, the liquefied natural gas
(LNG) plant will be equipped with Silvani
fire safety solutions, including automatic
deluge valve systems and packages and
more than 70 remote controlled monitors
designed, manufactured, and tested in
compliance with Australian regulation and
standards. To protect employee accom-
modations, UTC Fire & Security has also
designed and supplied a system of fire
alarm detectors and panels. In addition,
the company installed Kidde’s suppres-
sion systems, which provide the added
benefits of rapid extinguishment, minimal
collateral damage, and ease of storage.
Industrial Strength
Situated along Qatar’s northeast coast,
Ras Laffan Industrial City is one of the
fastest growing industrial cities in the
world. UTC Fire & Security provided a
complete fire safety solution to help protect
the city, port expansion, and commercial
and industrial areas. Specialty detection
systems from Autronica meet the complex
demands of the port expansion, while
Angus Fire is providing hydrants and mon-
itors. Kidde Fenwal provided clean agent
fire suppression and CO2 systems for
the entire port expansion project, and
Guardfire systems provided residential
protection. Kidde’s fire training simulators
at the new Ras Laffan Emergency and
Safety College will provide fire fighting
scenarios for industries including residen-
tial and commercial; maritime; aviation;
and petrochemical, oil, and gas.
Tech Savvy
In data centers worldwide, like Telecity
in the Netherlands, UTC Fire & Security
protects high-tech systems and critical
information. Its Marioff HI-FOG® water
mist fire protection system produces a
fine mist that results in minimal water
damage when compared to conventional
sprinkler systems, making it ideal for data
centers and other applications with deli-
cate assets. HI-FOG® has been tested
in more full-scale fire tests than any other
water mist fire protection system, with
more than 6,000 successful tests to date.
Every year, UTC Fire & Security produces more
than 20 million smoke and carbon monoxide
(CO) alarms to help protect families around the
globe. CO is a colorless, odorless poison gas
produced by fossil fuel-burning appliances,
and can be fatal within minutes at high concen-
trations. UTC Fire & Security promotes safety
standards by championing legislative efforts
worldwide, in partnership with health and
safety advocates, firefighters, and lawmakers.

Flying High
For more than a decade, NASA locations
like the Kennedy Space Center, the Marshall
Space Flight Center, and the Ames Research
Center have been secured by UTC Fire &
Security’s Lenel systems. In addition, UTC
Fire & Security’s Det-Tronics gas detectors
are mounted around NASA launch pads to
detect possible hydrogen gas leaks, and its
flame detectors are in the Orbiter Process-
ing Facility, where shuttles are refurbished
after returning from space.
UTC Fire & Security invests millions of dollars in research and development to make systems more intelligent
and provide better information on fire and security threats. New technologies are helping to reduce false alarms
and better manage energy costs in both commercial and residential buildings.

Cross-Country Protection The three bridges that span the Niagara River between
the United States and Ontario, Canada are crossed by approximately eight million pas-
sengers each year — and UTC Fire & Security video surveillance and access control
systems operated by the Niagara Falls Bridge Commission are a critical part of the safe
passage of people and commerce between the two countries. All 142 video cameras
and 92 access control points have been integrated into the infrastructure at the three
bridges and at six U.S./Canadian Customs’ Plazas.

Tunnel Safety
Fast, effective fire suppression is critical
for roadway tunnels, so it’s no surprise
that UTC Fire & Security’s Marioff HI-FOG®
water mist fire protection system is grow-
ing in popularity with these applications.
The A86 West tunnel in Paris, part of the
A86 super-ring road, was the first large
European tunnel to be protected with an
active fire protection system. This 10-kilo-
meter tunnel, which links Rueil-Malmaison
and Versailles, is protected by HI-FOG®
and represents the largest water mist fire
protection system ever built. Helsinki’s
underground service network, which
expanded the city’s pedestrian zones, is
also protected by HI-FOG® — marking
Finland’s first automatic tunnel fire protec-
tion system.

UTC Fire & Security’s clean agent fire suppression systems help protect critical
high-value assets from the threat of fire and minimize downtime and cleanup
costs, while addressing environmental considerations. One example is the
company’s extensive range of clean agent fire suppression systems designed
for use with 3M™ Novec™ 1230 Fire Protection Fluid. This solution has a zero
Ozone Depletion Factor (ODP), the lowest Global Warming Potential (GWP) of
a chemical-based clean agent, and an atmospheric lifetime of only five days.
Airport Protection
UTC Fire & Security’s products and serv-
ices are installed at some of the world’s
major airports — from Dublin, London, and
Zurich, to Washington, D.C., Budapest,
and Johannesburg. When Cathay Pacific
needed to protect its cargo terminal in Hong
Kong, it turned to UTC Fire & Security for
the installation of fire detection and alarm
systems, a gas suppression and deluge
system, and a high sensitivity smoke detec-
tion system. And for tarmacs, UTC Fire
& Security provides the world’s leading
aviation fire protection, from advanced
firefighter training to trucks capable of
laying foam for emergency landings.
Going with the Flow
When the U.K.Highways Agency needed
a solution to address increased conges-
tion, UTC Fire & Security responded with
a groundbreaking integrated network to
monitor and manage traffic. The Agency’s
control centers are now networked with a
Chubb monitoring station and CCTV
system, supported by more than 800
cameras that supply real-time information.
This technology has resulted in better use
of existing road space, as Active Traffic
Management uses integrated electronic
signs to direct drivers during times of peak
congestion. Overall, the traffic manage-
ment system has led to improved efficiency
and safety, as well as a reduction in fuel
emissions from idling vehicles.
On the Right Track
When the Shanghai Metro began its
extensive expansion to meet increased
demand during the 2010 World Expo, it
called upon UTC Fire & Security to design
and install a fire safety system. The com-
pany’s Shanghai Ken business supplied
and installed fire detection and alarm,
access control, and HVAC control systems
for a total of 33 stations, control rooms, and
two parking lots. This extensive project
makes travel safer and more comfortable
for both Shanghai residents and visitors
alike.

A Crowning Achievement
Westminster Abbey holds the distinct
honor of hosting every coronation for the
English monarchy since 1066. It also
hosts one of the most sophisticated secu-
rity management systems in the world.
UTC Fire & Security installed a Chubb
wireless integrated security management
system that protects the Abbey and its
visitors, and also ensures the integrity of
the architecture and history of this London
landmark. Chubb’s wireless technology
eliminated the need for hardwiring, allow-
ing the Abbey to remove redundant ca-
bling from its legacy system.
Consumer Protection
In order to protect the world’s largest
mall, Dubai Mall developers needed an in-
telligent and expandable state-of-the-art
fire alarm system to keep 1,200 shops
and their patrons safe. Today, more than
18,000 fire modules and detectors from
UTC Fire & Security are installed through-
out the facility and connected to control
panels, which act as gathering points for
information. All of the data is integrated
through a graphical user interface, show-
ing the precise time and location of any
reported alarm.
Sleep Easy
Marriott International, Inc., the leading hotel
management company in the world, is
known for its strict life safety requirements
and rigorous inspection program. The 2010
edition of Marriott’s Fire Protection and
Life Safety Design Standards recognizes
UTC Fire & Security’s Marioff HI-FOG®
system as a practical alternative to tradi-
tional sprinkler systems. The flexibility and
reliability of the system enable it to be
used in a range of applications, including
new and historic hotel buildings. Today,
more than 30 hotels under Marriott brands
are protected by this system, including
the Renaissance Paris Hotel La Defense,
which is also equipped with Onity’s
advanced locks.
Protecting Freedom
The Statue of Liberty is equipped with a
high sensitivity smoke detection system
from UTC Fire & Security’s Fenwal Protec-
tion Systems business. The AnaLASER
system, located in the monument’s stair-
well, can detect low levels of smoke parti-
cles during the incipient state before an
actual fire develops.
“Marioff HI-FOG® water mist technology is used in our proper-
ties in numerous locations around the world, often in high rise
buildings or historic properties that present major challenges
to conventional sprinkler system installations. We have seen
the product work and we have great confidence in it.”
