Benson Electric installed the fire alarm and life safety system for Frontwave Arena in Oceanside, California. The arena is a modern multi-purpose sports and entertainment venue designed to host professional sporting events, concerts, and large community gatherings.
Working alongside the project’s general contractor, Level 10 Construction, Benson Electric installed a Simplex fire alarm system designed to provide reliable detection and occupant notification throughout the facility.
In addition to standard fire alarm system components, the system was integrated with the arena’s smoke exhaust infrastructure, allowing large mechanical exhaust fans to activate during alarm conditions to help remove smoke from the arena space.
Facilities of this scale require dependable life safety infrastructure capable of protecting thousands of occupants during events.
