This project involved a complete life safety and fire prevention overhaul at Chase Department Store, Jail Chowrangi, Karachi, following a severe fire incident that caused significant structural damage and loss of life due to smoke inhalation.
Peace Automation (Pvt.) Ltd was entrusted with a critical responsibility to redesign, install, and commission a fully integrated fire safety infrastructure before the store’s reopening. The primary objective was to eliminate all safety vulnerabilities and implement a modern, automated fire detection and suppression ecosystem capable of rapid emergency response.
The project focused on restoring public trust, ensuring occupant safety, and establishing a high-standard fire protection system aligned with industrial-grade safety requirements.

Project Challenges
Every high-risk fire safety project comes with critical engineering and operational challenges. This project demanded precision, speed, and zero tolerance for error due to the sensitivity of the incident history.
Our Solution
To address these challenges, Peace Automation engineered a complete, multi-layered fire safety ecosystem combining detection, suppression, and automation into a single intelligent framework.
Core Implementation Scope
High-Capacity Fire Hydrant System
Installed a heavy-duty 750 GPM (8-bar) fire hydrant pump system with seamless piping infrastructure and strategically placed hose reels for rapid manual response.
Automated Sprinkler Network
Addressable Fire Alarm System
Integrated Fire Extinguishing System
System Integration & Automation
A key achievement of this project was the full integration between detection and suppression systems.
The addressable fire alarm system was directly linked with the hydrant and sprinkler infrastructure, enabling:
This integration significantly improved emergency response time and ensured a fully automated safety protocol.
Project Results
Project Summery
From high-capacity hydrant systems to addressable fire alarms and automated sprinklers, every component was engineered to work in synchronization, ensuring rapid response and maximum protection.
The project demonstrates Peace Automation’s capability to handle high-risk, post-incident environments and deliver enterprise-grade fire safety solutions that restore trust, ensure compliance, and protect human life and critical assets.
