This critical safety enhancement involves upgrading the existing Honeywell fire alarm system originally installed in 2003 with modern automated devices and modules meeting the latest UL safety standards. The project includes system modifications to help optimise emergency response and system performance. A digital dashboard will deliver improved insights for more efficient operations, helping to decrease maintenance costs and reduce manpower at a time when skilled labour is scarce.

Maps displayed to operators via the Honeywell Enterprise Buildings Integrator (EBI) management system will be modernised to better visualise alarm locations and guide emergency responders more accurately. The upgrade is expected to be completed in 2026, and EBI will also help ensure the terminal, which serves an average of 94,000 passengers daily, remains fully protected as the work is done.

“This award to enhance the Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport's fire alarm system reflects our commitment to delivering innovative and reliable automation solutions that protect this busy airport while also helping ensure uninterrupted operations for passengers and staff,” Sudhakar Janakiraman, President, Honeywell Building Solutions. “We are honoured to work on this vital safety initiative that builds on a long-standing and valued relationship.”
