University Hospital Coventry is a large National Health Service (NHS) hospital situated in the Walsgrave on Sowe area of Coventry. It is part of the University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust, and is the principal hospital serving Coventry and Rugby, providing a wide range of services. It works in partnership with the University of Warwick's Warwick Medical School. It has a large, progressive accident & emergency department providing a trauma service to Coventry and Warwickshire.  The hospital was opened in 2006 as a 1,250 bed 'super hospital', replacing the previous Walsgrave Hospital on the same site, and the city-centre Coventry and Warwickshire Hospital.

The existing closed-protocol system on the site has reached the end of its serviceable life.  The upgrade has been split into multiple phases, with the first being the installation of a new fault-tolerant network and replacement of panels in the ancillary buildings.  The installation is extensive including:

• New latest generation open-protocol ADVPlus Range Fire Alarm Control Panels that will provide many years of efficient service in the Healthcare environment.
• Installation of graphics workstation to allow visual administration of the system.
• New fault-tolerant network between panels.
• Varied cable routes including service tunnels, buried cable ducts and working hospital corridors.
• Installation to be carried out against a pre-defined plan to minimise risk and disruption to Service Users and NHS staff.

The project buildings on Fixfire's existing extensive relationship with the site which includes Fire Extinguisher Maintenance, Fire Suppression System Installation & Maintenance, Aspiration Detection Installation & Maintenance as well as providing services for the Dry Risers and Hydrant installations.
