SAVANNAH SYSTEMS WINS BIDS FOR
TWO MAJOR PROJECTS
1. EFACEC, a Portuguese
power transformer manufacturer is investing $170M in a new 470,000 sf facility
on 55 acres in Effingham County, GA. The facility will manufacture
shell-type, core-type and mobile electrical power transformers for major
US electrical utility companies including Georgia Power and Florida Power.
Savannah Systems has been working
with a design team on this project since March of 2008 providing fire alarm,
cctv and access control system design. In January 2009, Savannah
Systems was awarded a contract to furnish and install the three systems.
There will be a GE Security EST-3 network with three nodes connecting the
Manufacturing and Administration Buildings to the Guard House.
The first phase of the CCTV system shall consist of 10 ptz and fixed outdoor
cameras connected to two networked Pelco DX8000 DVRs. The first phase
of the DSX Access Control System includes outdoor long-range readers at
(2) vehicle gates and remote control of a railroad gate.
2. IMPERIAL SUGAR is
a Texas based sugar manufacturer with one of it’s two major sugar refineries
in Savannah that produces consumer products such as Dixie Crystals
as well as it’s Savannah Gold brown sugar, syrups and molasses used by
their industrial customers in confections and icings. On February 7, 2008
there was a major dust explosion at the Savannah Plant that took the lives
of 14 workers and injured 30 others. Since that time Imperial Sugar has
made a commitment to rebuild the Savannah Plant and make it a safe work
environment.
Savannah Systems has been consulting
with the Owner since August 2008 in regards to fire alarm and mass notification
system design throughout their Savannah plant. In March 2009, Savannah
Systems will begin to furnish and install a complete GE Security EST-3
fire alarm network that includes mass notification speakers and strobes
in selected areas. The scope of work shall also include an ATI outside
plant mass notification system consisting of three large speaker arrays
each on 60 foot poles. The mass notification system shall employ
a graphical user interface to provide pre-recorded emergency messages as
well as live announcements.
Direct Sales Rep, Dean Deese,
has spent countless hours over the last several months providing presentations,
surveys, and proposals to the Owner to assure we provide the appropriate
coverage based on their needs and available funding. Congratulations to
Dean who has been very successful in gaining the trust and respect of the
Customer that allowed us to secure this work on a negotiated basis.
