About Lava Island
Lava Island is a 41,000-square-foot indoor adventure park located in Alpharetta, Georgia. Designed for families seeking screen-free, high-energy fun, the facility features massive volcano slides, foam pits, trampolines, and a dedicated toddler zone. Plus, a top choice for birthday parties in Alpharetta, Georgia. Lava Island is widely praised for its cleanliness, friendly staff, and energetic atmosphere. Lava Island has become one of the top-rated family destinations in the greater Atlanta area.
With hundreds of guests moving through the facility each week, Lava Island needed a security and low-voltage infrastructure that could match the scale and pace of the operation — before opening day.
The Challenge
Opening a massive, child-focused, public venue is no small undertaking. Lava Island's management team needed five separate systems installed across a sprawling, multi-zone footprint that included high-traffic activity areas, ceiling-high play structures, a toddler zone, staff-only spaces, and multiple entry and exit points.
Their requirements included:
Low-voltage wiring to serve as the backbone for all integrated systems
A multi-zone speaker system for music, announcements, and emergency audio
Access control on key doors to secure staff areas and manage after-hours access
Security cameras providing full-facility coverage for guest safety and loss prevention
A fire alarm detection system compliant with all local codes for high-occupancy public venues
Rather than managing multiple subcontractors across each of these systems, Lava Island wanted a single, qualified contractor who could handle everything — professionally, on time, and within budget.
Why Lava Island Chose CFA Security & Low Voltage
Lava Island selected CFA Security & Low Voltage for three key reasons: professional quality, reasonable pricing, and the ability to manage all five installations under one roof.
CFA's reputation for meticulous, code-compliant work gave the Lava Island team confidence that the job would be done right. Their competitive pricing aligned with the project budget without cutting corners on materials or workmanship. And their experience handling multiple system types meant Lava Island could streamline the entire process through a single, trusted contractor.
The Solution
CFA Security & Low Voltage executed a complete, coordinated installation across all five systems.
CFA installed a comprehensive low-voltage wiring infrastructure to serve as the backbone of the entire system network. All cabling was routed, labeled, and terminated to professional standards — built for long-term reliability and easy serviceability.
Speaker & Audio System
A multi-zone speaker system was deployed throughout the facility, delivering clear audio across all activity areas, common spaces, and the toddler zone. The system supports background music, staff announcements, and emergency broadcast capabilities.
Electronic access control was installed at key entry points and in staff-only areas throughout the facility. Management can now control access permissions, audit entry logs, and secure restricted zones after operating hours.
High-definition security cameras were positioned at strategic locations throughout the 41,000-square-foot facility, covering all activity areas, entry and exit points, and perimeter zones. The system supports both real-time monitoring and recorded footage for incident review.
A fully code-compliant fire alarm and detection system was installed throughout the venue, meeting all applicable local and state requirements for high-occupancy public facilities. The system includes smoke detectors, heat sensors, and alarm devices positioned for maximum coverage.
The Results
Lava Island opened its doors with every system fully operational and ready for guests. CFA was delivered across all five installations without disrupting the project timeline, allowing the park to meet its opening schedule with confidence.
