Fire safety innovations to protect Milwaukee’s record-breaking timber skyscraper

November 22, 2024

Fire safety systems integral to Milwaukee’s timber skyscraper

Milwaukee’s upcoming 600-foot timber skyscraper, designed by MGA, will rely on advanced fire safety systems to address concerns about timber construction.

Ramtech’s WES3 wireless system, combined with the REACT cloud-based platform, will provide continuous monitoring during the project.

This technology ensures early detection and response to potential emergencies, minimizing risks during construction.

Timber construction benefits from enhanced fire protection

While timber is “self-insulating” and can slow fire spread, construction sites require additional safeguards.

The WES3 and REACT systems offer customizable alerts for various emergencies, providing tailored protection.

These systems are essential for ensuring safety as timber becomes a more popular construction material.

Comprehensive fire monitoring for large-scale projects

Ramtech’s fire safety technology reduces the risk of small incidents escalating into larger issues.

By providing 24/7 monitoring, the WES3 and REACT systems ensure construction sites are protected even when unattended.

These measures help address safety concerns, encouraging wider adoption of timber in sustainable construction.

Advanced fire safety technology safeguards Milwaukee’s 600-foot timber skyscraper: Summary

Milwaukee’s timber skyscraper, planned as the tallest of its kind, will utilize Ramtech’s WES3 and REACT systems for fire safety.

These technologies provide round-the-clock monitoring and emergency alerts, ensuring safety during construction.

This integration of fire protection measures supports the project’s sustainability goals and addresses safety challenges in timber construction.
