Due to lack of power during the initial stages of construction projects, some sites rely on air horns as an evacuation method on construction sites, but it’s not without drawbacks.
Turner Construction installed Ramtech WES3 units, a wireless fire evacuation system, across its Maine Medical Center jobsite to boost its fire protections. The wireless technology, officially launched in 2019, eliminates the need for a hardwired power source and panels, which most other similar systems often require.
Jobsites often lack sprinklers, fire walls and detectors until the final stages of the project, making fire risk a top priority for general contractors during the construction process.
