Fire-Rated Roller Shutter Installation & Testing
Project Overview
A complete installation and commissioning of a 2-hour fire-rated roller shutter system was successfully carried out for a commercial facility requiring enhanced fire compartmentation and regulatory compliance. The project involved the supply and installation of a heavy-duty fire-rated roller shutter constructed with fire-resistant interlocking steel slats and robust guide channels designed to provide effective protection against the spread of fire and smoke. A high-performance motorized operating system was installed to ensure reliable day-to-day operation. To provide automatic emergency response capabilities, the fire shutter system was fully integrated with the building's centralized Fire Alarm Panel (FAP). Upon activation of the fire alarm system, the shutter is programmed to automatically deploy, creating a secure fire barrier even during power interruptions. Comprehensive testing and commissioning were performed to verify system performance and compliance requirements. The scope of testing included fire alarm signal integration, controlled emergency descent operation, automatic deployment functionality, and manual override operation during simulated power failure conditions. Following successful completion of all functional and safety tests, the fire-rated roller shutter system was commissioned and confirmed to provide reliable fire compartmentation, enhanced life safety protection, and compliance with applicable fire safety regulations and standards.

1000kg Single-Phase Fire Shutter Motor Replacement & Fire Alarm Integration
A comprehensive upgrade and restoration project was successfully completed for a fire-rated roller shutter system that had experienced a critical motor failure. The existing drive unit had suffered a complete burnout, resulting in loss of operational capability and compromising the building's fire compartmentation system. Our engineering team safely isolated the existing single-phase electrical supply and replaced the faulty unit with a new heavy-duty 1000 kg capacity single-phase fire shutter motor, specifically designed for high-load fire-rated applications and compatible with the facility's existing electrical infrastructure. The scope of work also included integration of the building's active fire alarm system with the new motor control panel. The fire alarm relay and communication circuits were rewired and synchronized to ensure immediate signal transmission and automatic emergency operation during fire incidents. To ensure compliance and reliability, the fire shutter's automatic closing mechanism was recalibrated, including adjustment of descent parameters, limit switches, and emergency release functions. Comprehensive functional testing and emergency drop tests were subsequently carried out to verify safe operation and proper response under simulated fire alarm conditions. The completed works successfully restored the fire shutter's operational performance, enhanced system reliability, eliminated excessive motor strain, and ensured continued compliance with applicable SCDF fire safety requirements and fire compartmentation standards.

Multi-Door Remote Control Panel Upgrade & Limit Switch Calibration
A comprehensive electrical upgrade and maintenance project was successfully completed for three heavy-duty commercial roller shutters to improve operational efficiency, access control, and system reliability. The existing control panels and mechanical settings had deteriorated over time, resulting in inconsistent operation and incorrect travel limits that placed unnecessary strain on the shutter motors. To address these issues, our engineering team carried out a complete control system modernization and servicing program. The scope of work included replacement of the existing control panels with new remote-enabled systems incorporating wireless RF receivers, allowing centralized and convenient operation of all three roller shutters. In addition, the upper and lower limit switches of each motor were carefully calibrated and adjusted to ensure precise stopping positions and prevent over-travel or excessive motor loading. Comprehensive preventative maintenance was also performed, including lubrication of guide rails and drive components, inspection and alignment of shutter tracking systems, operational testing, and load verification. The completed works significantly improved access management, enhanced operational reliability, reduced mechanical stress on the motors, and extended the service life of the roller shutter systems while providing seamless and efficient wireless control functionality.

600kg Roller Shutter Motor & Push-Button Control Station Replacement
A complete electro-mechanical upgrade was successfully carried out for a commercial roller shutter system experiencing both motor failure and control station malfunction. The existing drive unit had suffered a critical load-bearing failure, while the wall-mounted push-button control station was exhibiting intermittent electrical faults and unreliable operation. To restore the system, our engineering team replaced the faulty components with new high-performance equipment designed for heavy-duty commercial applications. The scope of work included the installation of a new 600 kg capacity heavy-duty roller shutter motor, providing sufficient lifting power for the heavy-gauge shutter curtain and ensuring smooth, reliable operation. In addition, the existing push-button control station was removed and replaced with a new 3-position control unit (Up / Stop / Down). Electrical rewiring and calibration of the control circuitry were carried out to ensure seamless communication between the control station, motor system, and limit switches. Comprehensive testing, adjustment, and commissioning were subsequently performed to verify precise operation, immediate response, and reliable travel limits. The completed upgrade restored full functionality to the roller shutter system, improved operational efficiency, eliminated electrical signal failures, and enhanced the overall reliability and security of the commercial premises.
