Novotel Olaya Hotel
A hotel in Riyadh's Olaya district for which AZEIDK supplied, installed, tested and commissioned fire protection, alarm and security systems.
About the project
Novotel Olaya Hotel is a Novotel-branded hotel in Riyadh’s Olaya district. Hotels of this kind have guests sleeping and staying in the building around the clock, all year round, which makes fire protection and alarm systems part of daily operation rather than a requirement met once at opening.
Why fire and life safety matter in this hotel
The greatest risk in a hotel is a fire that starts while guests are asleep, in a building whose exits they do not know, perhaps with signage in a language they do not read. The alarm must wake guests in their rooms clearly, and corridors and stairs must stay protected from smoke long enough for people to get out. Hotels typically also house kitchens, laundries, restaurants and meeting rooms operating at different hours, each with its own ignition sources and fire load. A successful evacuation depends on coordination between the alarm system and the hotel’s duty team, matters addressed by Civil Defense requirements and the Saudi Building Code.
AZEIDK’s role
AZEIDK’s work at Novotel Olaya Hotel covered supplying, installing, testing and commissioning fire protection, alarm and security systems in line with the project requirements.
