EEC has been providing services to Iron Mountain since 2005. Iron Mountain, which is highly satisfied with the services of EEC, preferred EEC again in 2013 for the fire safety and alarm systems for its new facility in Silivri.
Iron Mountain has preferred EEC, which is an expert in high-level fire and security systems, because it requires high sensitivity towards the risk of fire due to the confidentiality and high security needs for the files that it stores since the files are all papers.
EEC provided solutions to respond to the high-level security needs of the Iron Mountain Sillivri building with the Edwards EST3 and VESDA VLP400 fire detection systems. For the safety of the Iron Mountain's 3-floor building, each floor of which is approximately 4000 sqm a total of 6 VESDA detectors, 2 on each floor, and point type fire detectors were used in the basement floor where the areas such as cafeteria, vehicle unloading and technical rooms are present.
Due to the new buildings that were added to the facility and the increase or change in customer needs, changes and additions were applied to the system from time to time, thanks to the infrastructure of the system suitable for expansion and renovation, based on the high-level engineering experience of EEC.
