the basement, production and sales on the ground floor and offices on the upper
floor. At the centre of the building’s active fire protection is an Advanced
Axis EN fire system linked to 230 devices.
The industry-leading Axis EN system, which was recently
certified by FM Approvals to the EN54 standard, communicates with the site’s
BMS, third party CO detection system, Access Control system and third-party Heating

cases of emergency.
Responsible for the design, installation and commissioning
of the fire system was Advanced partner Bildos d.o.o., Mr. Damjan Birk, managing
partner at Bildos Ltd, said: “With Pirnar’s reputation for quality and
perfection we knew that only the best would be good enough. It’s for these
reasons that Advanced was specified to protect their head office. The robust
Axis EN system is easy to service and is backed up by award-winning technical
support, making Advanced the right product for Pirnar’s Headquarters.”
“Advanced Electronics fire protection system has given us
an increased feeling of safety and control, it adds confidence in how we’re
running our business. We can keep growing and moving forward knowing our
infrastructure protection is state of the art and constantly up to date”,
Pirnar assistant director Ado Rupnik said.
“It was a pleasure to work with Bildos Ltd to supply them
with a high performance, ease-to-use system that would effectively protect Pirnar’s
site against fire, where production and commercial activity run side-by-side”,
Advanced’s regional sales manager for southern Europe, Vladimir Zrnic, added.
