Fire detectors and alarm system installed for the expansion of MCP at AngloGold Ashanti, Tarkwa.
WESTCAP installed fire detectors and an alarm system as part of the expansion of MCP for AngloGold Ashanti in Tarkwa, Ghana. The project extended early fire warning coverage to the expanded facility, supporting the safety of personnel and plant on a major mining operation.
The works covered the supply and installation of fire detection devices and alarm system equipment, delivered in coordination with the client’s project team and the site’s safety requirements.




Project Approach
On a mining site, early warning matters — so people can respond quickly and operations can be protected.
Detector types and positions are selected to suit the areas being protected, so that a developing fire is detected quickly and clearly signalled.
Installation follows the client’s site induction and permit requirements, and is completed with testing so the system is ready for operation.
