About the project
Al Nawras Hotel is a hotel in Jeddah. Like every hotel, it runs day and night: guests arrive and leave at all hours, staff work in shifts and service areas operate alongside guest rooms. Its fire and life safety systems therefore have to perform at three in the morning exactly as they do at midday.
Why fire and life safety matter in hotels
In a hotel fire, smoke is usually the first threat. A fire in a guest room, kitchen or storeroom can push smoke into the corridors and stairs that guests rely on to escape, often while they are asleep. Detectors in rooms and corridors, an alarm loud enough to wake guests, sprinklers that control the fire where it starts and doors that keep smoke out of escape routes work as one system. Exit signs and emergency lighting guide guests along routes they have never used, and security systems monitor entrances and public areas. The Saudi Building Code (SBC 801) and Civil Defense requirements set how hotels are protected.
AZEIDK’s role
At the hotel, AZEIDK supplied, installed, tested and commissioned fire protection, alarm and security systems in line with the project’s requirements.
