At sites in operation, where a fire safety, smoke extraction or extinguishing system needs to be added or renovated, the consideration of your existing structures and operating constraints is decisive to the risk assessment process and your choice of technical solution. For that reason, before you launch your project, DOI can advise you after performing an in-depth diagnostic review of your specific issues and constraints, in order to determine the points to be considered to refine the design of your solution and ensure its compliance and reliability, as well as your continuous operations.

The installation and commissioning of a fire safety system demand in-depth technical, standards and regulatory knowledge so as to ensure the highest possible level of performance and reliability. Our teams of engineers and technicians have the best skills available to expedite your systems’ activation.

Our vast international presence, in the form of our local technicians and partners, allows us to offer outstanding services and comprehensive support for all your locations.

 

Preventive maintenance consists of the verification and comprehensive upkeep of fire safety installations in order to maintain them in good working order, in accordance with current standards and regulations. Regular preventive maintenance can therefore reduce the likelihood of your systems’ failure and minimise the need for corrective maintenance actions.

Support and advice are also offered by our engineers and technicians, who keep abreast of the latest technological and regulatory developments.

To ensure the effectiveness of each maintenance action, our local teams and partners have access to all the tools they need.

The management and operation of your fire safety system, throughout the life of your facility, are major issues. They demand the optimisation of total migration costs throughout your building’s lifespan.

With this in mind, DEF develops new products that ensure the forward compatibility of our equipment.

For example, DEF DOI can upgrade your fire detection set-up on a gradual basis, through our EKO Solution. That technology migration solution was created to replace older-generation DEF fire safety systems with a next-generation FSS.

The concept is simple and has proved its worth: the new detectors are substituted for the old ones, retaining the existing wiring and bases, and the whole system will continue to function throughout the transitional phase.

Migrating a system is typically staggered over several years, allowing time to adapt to any operating or cost-related issues at the concerned sites.

The DEF Network’s Client Training Organisation was created in 2008, in response to the training needs generated by the operation of the fire safety systems (FSSs) installed and maintained by DEF.

Our team of expert trainers will give your staff the knowledge and skills they need to correctly operate your system.

We aim to increase your autonomy and safety whilst ensuring you are in compliance with regulatory requirements.

To that end, DOI offers a complete range of training options which you can incorporate into your training plan, as part of your personnel’s skills development.
