Case Studies
United States – Financial Trading Data Center, New York, NY
A high-frequency trading firm deployed our VESDA-based air-sampling detectors across its trading floor and adjacent data vaults. Integration with existing BMS enabled automated suppression system engagement and remote alerts. The early warning system identified a smoldering cable duct incident overnight, preventing a major fire event and minimizing service disruption.
United States – Regional Healthcare Facility, Atlanta, GA
A regional hospital partnered with us to install dual-ionization/photoelectric detectors in its critical care and digital records centers. Coupled with remote notification, the system alerted facilities staff to a small fire in an HVAC corridor. Emergency protocols were triggered early—avoiding patient evacuation and costly equipment damage.
Canada – Provincial Government Data Center, Vancouver, BC
A government-run data center in British Columbia implemented GAO Tek’s heat-rise and flame detectors within their server halls. The wireless-linked system provided fast flame detection and integrated with provincial safety platforms via REST API, ensuring compliance with Canadian fire codes while enhancing emergency readiness.
