Vue Cinema Portsmouth

Project Overview: VOCA Fire Protection was appointed to complete a comprehensive fire alarm upgrade at Vue Cinema, located in the iconic Gunwharf Quays, Portsmouth. This high-profile project required meticulous planning, coordination, and expertise to ensure a seamless transition while maintaining the safety and functionality of the venue.

Challenges & Solutions: As with any major fire alarm upgrade in a busy, operational environment, the project presented several challenges:

Complex Infrastructure: Gunwharf Quays is a busy, high-traffic location with unique architectural considerations. Our engineers navigated these complexities with precision, ensuring compliance with fire safety regulations without compromising the site’s aesthetics.

Integration with Existing Systems: The new fire alarm system needed to integrate seamlessly with existing safety and security measures. Our technical team worked closely with suppliers to ensure compatibility and optimal system performance.

Project Execution: Through a collective effort involving Vue Cinema’s management team, our trusted suppliers, and the dedication of our skilled engineers, we successfully delivered the fire alarm upgrade on time and within budget. The project was executed with the highest standards of workmanship, reinforcing VOCA Fire Protection’s reputation for excellence.
