Project Overview

Delta Wye Critical Solutions provided comprehensive fire alarm system upgrades across multiple housing developments managed by the Brockton Housing Authority (BHA). The project involved replacing outdated fire alarm systems with modern, addressable systems designed for improved safety, compliance, and long-term reliability. The upgrades impacted hundreds of residential units, ensuring a safer living environment for families, elderly residents, and congregate housing communities.

The project scope included:

• Fire Alarm System Replacements – Upgraded or installed new addressable fire alarm systems across seven housing developments.
• Enhanced Safety & Compliance – Designed systems to meet current fire codes, regulations, and local authority requirements.
• Cost-Effective & Future-Ready Solutions – Specified flexible, scalable equipment to allow for future modifications without major overhauls.

Challenges & Objectives

• Aging & Outdated Fire Alarm Infrastructure – Replacing legacy systems that no longer met modern fire safety standards.

• Code Compliance & Fire Department Approvals – Ensuring all new systems met NFPA, state, and local fire codes with full AHJ approval.

• Seamless Integration & Minimal Disruptions – Upgrading systems in occupied residential buildings without causing major disruptions to residents.

• Cost-Effective & Maintainable Solutions – Avoiding proprietary equipment that would require exclusive, high-cost maintenance contracts.

Our Approach & Solutions

• New Addressable Fire Alarm Systems – Installed advanced fire detection technology with addressable smoke, heat, and CO detectors.
• Scalable & Future-Proofed Design – Specified flexible systems that allow for future modifications and expansions.
• Strategic Implementation – Coordinated efficient installations to minimize downtime and ensure resident safety during the transition.
• Compliance & Fire Department Coordination – Worked closely with local fire departments to streamline approval processes and meet all regulatory requirements.

Key Results

• Improved Resident Safety & Emergency Response – Addressable fire alarm systems provide faster, more precise detection and enhanced reliability.
• Cost-Effective Long-Term Solutions – Implemented non-proprietary, maintainable systems to reduce future repair and maintenance costs.
• Future-Ready Infrastructure – Designed scalable alarm systems that can adapt to future building modifications without replacing major components.
