DOHA: Msheireb Properties, a subsidiary of Qatar Foundation, will showcase fire protection, safety, security, management and monitoring systems employed at its flagship project Msheireb Downtown Doha at the fourth Civil Defence Exhibition and Conference which opens tomorrow.
Msheireb Properties is a platinum sponsor of the event.
“Msheireb Downtown Doha is the world’s first sustainable regeneration project which employs world class safety and security technologies across the development. Our sponsorship of the event reflects our commitment to implementation of standards and guidelines set by the Civil Defence Authority,” said Abdullah Hassan Al Mehshadi, Chief Executive Officer, Msheireb Properties.
The project follows strict guidelines for resident and public safety, with an automated system that monitors areas including internal and external premises, primary service areas and service tunnels.
The project has been mapped with five localised facility management hubs across the site capturing web-enabled CCTV system (external public realm, internal public realm, primary service areas and service tunnels, lifts and lobbies); and ICT infrastructure.
Access controls include car park management systems, vehicle number plate recognition, intruder detection and panic alarm systems. An emergency response action plan is in place detailing response to fire, incident management and local authority communications protocols.
The project system is also equipped with fire detection and suppression technologies that include smoke extraction, CO2 detection and foam/gas suppression systems all centrally controlled and monitored through a central command centre.
The exhibition and conference will bring together academics, businesses, researchers and government authorities across Qatar. The fourth edition of the event runs until November 13 at Qatar National Convention Centre.
