Key Outcome

Key Outcome:

PNS Sadiq required an advanced early warning fire detection solution to safeguard mission-critical infrastructure and comply with strict naval safety standards.

GreenTech successfully deployed a high-sensitivity VESDA (Very Early Smoke Detection Apparatus) system that integrates seamlessly with existing fire alarm systems in Pakistan, enabling ultra-early smoke detection, minimized fire risk, and enhanced emergency response readiness across the facility.

Executive Summary

GreenTech successfully executed the installation and commissioning of a VESDA system at PNS Sadiq, significantly strengthening early fire detection capabilities within sensitive naval facilities.

Given the high-security and operational nature of the base, shutdowns were not permissible. GreenTech implemented a carefully phased strategy, ensuring smooth integration with existing addressable fire alarm systems, fire suppression infrastructure, and emergency communication networks.

The result is a multi-layered fire detection framework capable of identifying fire threats at their earliest stage, minimizing risk to personnel, data systems, and naval equipment.

Introduction

PNS Sadiq required an advanced fire detection system to protect sensitive naval operations, equipment, and storage areas. Fire safety in such facilities is critical to avoid operational downtime and damage to equipment and to ensure personnel safety.

GreenTech designed a tailored VESDA system at PNS Sadiq, combining high-sensitivity detection with integrated alarm systems to enhance safety and reliability.

What is a VESDA system?

A VESDA (Very Early Smoke Detection Apparatus) system is an advanced aspirating smoke detection system designed to identify smoke particles at extremely low concentrations.

Unlike conventional detectors, VESDA systems continuously draw air samples through a network of pipes installed across protected areas. The air is analyzed in a highly sensitive detection chamber capable of identifying incipient-stage combustion.

Key Features of VESDA Systems

  • Continuous air sampling for proactive monitoring
  • Detection of microscopic smoke particles
  • Multi-level alarm thresholds (Alert, Action, Fire 1, Fire 2)
  • Integration with fire suppression systems
  • Ideal for data centers, control rooms, and defense facilities

This technology is widely used in high-risk facilities where early intervention is critical to preventing operational disruption.

Challenge

The VESDA system installation at PNS Sadiq presented several operational and technical challenges:

  • Installation within high-security naval premises
  • Protection is required for server rooms, control panels, and communication hubs
  • No operational downtime permitted
  • Integration with existing addressable fire alarm systems
  • Compliance with defense-sector fire safety protocols

Each phase required strict coordination with naval authorities and adherence to safety regulations.

Solution Implemented

GreenTech deployed an advanced fire detection and alarm solution:

  • VESDA smoke detection systems for early warning of potential fire hazards
  • Addressable fire alarm systems covering critical zones, including control rooms and storage areas
  • Integration with fire suppression systems in Pakistan for automatic response
  • Connection to fire hydrants and emergency firefighting infrastructure
  • Rigorous testing and commissioning for compliance with naval and national fire safety standards

Results

  • Ultra-early fire detection capability, minimizing potential fire damage
  • Rapid alerting to personnel and emergency response teams
  • Safe operations maintained during installation and testing
  • Full compliance with defense fire safety regulations

Client Satisfaction

PNS Sadiq management praised the accuracy, reliability, and safety improvements provided by the GreenTech solution, reinforcing the base’s operational security.

GreenTech demonstrated expertise as a trusted fire safety consultant in Pakistan for complex naval environments.

Future Steps

  • Scheduled inspections and maintenance of fire detection systems
  • Integration with predictive AI monitoring for early hazard alerts
  • Potential upgrades to special hazard systems for sensitive areas
