BRNS Group maintains compliant fire safety with Amthal

UK residential property management and letting company, BRNS Group has partnered with Amthal Fire & Security to deliver on fire maintenance for its extensive London development portfolio.

BRNS Group provides a full, integrated service of management and letting in property, from acquisition and refurbishment, through letting and management.  It has entrusted 20 plus luxury developments through the Capital and Greater London.

Working closely with Amthal, BRNS Group established a maintenance system that could secure residents fire safety systems across its property portfolio.  This is especially in communal areas, including all fire alarms, emergency lighting, automatic opening vents, dry-risers, sprinkles and associated services.

Says Cassandra Orhan – Jones, Estate Manager at BRNS Group: “Fire safety is an ongoing priority for BRNS Group to continue to deliver a safe living environment, and one we commit with our legal responsibility.  Whilst this is a clear enough statement, the considerations and precautions to be taken are challenging due to the large tenure of property we look after.

“We found Amthal through recommendation as a support supplier. Amthal’s team has proven to be responsive at any time of day or night, helpful in offering invaluable advice, right from site surveys through to ongoing planned preventative maintenance and emergency 247 on site demands and telephone support. Their knowledge of the industry and proposed changes to Government legislation on fire safety is also hugely reassuring to ensure we remain compliant.”

Fire safety for residential developments is currently under Government review to implement recommendations from the Grenfell Tower Inquiry, including effecting change and requirements for responsible persons through the Fire Safety and Building Safety Bill, under the guidance of a new Building Safety Regulator

Phil Bryant, Amthal Fire & Security, Strategic Accounts Team Manager: “The introduction of the new Government legislation on fire safety will have a significant impact on the role of responsible persons, who will face ‘enforceable action’ from emergency services if they do not manage fire risk in a building’s structure.

“As BRNS Group has shown, by proactively taking action and having a fire safety partner such as Amthal in place with dedicated maintenance plans, we can constantly review each development to ensure residents are always protected and take action where necessary or essential.  BRNS Group can be assured that they are compliant and achieving all their operational and legal requirements.”

Independently owned, Amthal Fire & Security is dedicated to satisfying end user needs for security safety and convenience offering design, installation, service and remote monitoring of advanced electronic fire & security solutions, including intruder, Fire, Access and CCTV systems.

Amthal Fire & Security is accredited by the Security Systems and Alarm Inspection Board (SSAIB) United Kingdom Accreditation Services (UKAS) and British Approvals for Fire Equipment (BAFE.)

Vimpex announces new brochure ‘Door Holders, Closers & Fire Door Accessories’

The Vimpex range of Wired and Wire-Free Door Holders and accessories offers the installer the broadest choice of mounting styles and holding power. Mounted onto a fixed surface, these door holders ensure retention of the fire door by means of a smart metallic keeper plate and is interfaced with the fire alarm system.

When it comes to building specification, ensuring there are appropriate fire safety measures in place to protect occupants is a top priority.

Wired and Wire-Free Door Holders are arguably the single most important fire safety mechanism, guard against the lethal spread of toxic smoke and fumes – by far the greatest cause of death in fires.

Keeping a fire door propped open is illegal. Makeshift stoppers prevent the closing of the door – allowing smoke and fire to spread throughout the building making it difficult for occupants to escape and become overwhelmed with smoke.

Door Holders are de-energised as soon as the fire is detected thus releasing the door without a potentially harmful delay. This also allows a door to be safely kept open if needed and automatically closed during a fire.

Find out more in the Vimpex brochure ‘Door Holders, Closers & Fire Door Accessories’ on their website – www.vimpex.co.uk

Coopers Fire: Boundary protection solved with the use of bespoke fire curtains

Rolling Stock Yard is a new landmark development offering 57,500 sq ft of contemporary office and light industrial space. The building is located just 5 minutes’ walk from Granary Square and Coal Drops Yard in London, UK.

VolkerFitzpatrick were awarded a design and build contract with Deepdale Holding Investments Ltd, to construct a new office development, named Rolling Stock Yard, close to the King’s Cross regeneration area.

The new office building has been built following demolition of the existing early-nineties structure which was in its place. The new build will contain office space, a café, cycle storage, refuse stores and a single basement level. The roof level will include a patio and seating area with an overall floor space of approx. 7,200m2.

As there are potential adjoining buildings to be built within a radius of 5 metres, boundary protection was required to stop the spread of fire between these new buildings. This was accomplished by installing FireMaster fire curtains over the windows to meet the specific needs required under boundary protection fire regulations.

Designed by world-renowned architects Squire & Partners, multiple fire curtains were needed to prevent the spread of fire between buildings, as well as protect the lifts from the spread of smoke.

Fire curtains with smoke control over a lift opening offer fire integrity and prevent smoke from spreading through the building via the lift shaft in the event of a fire on any of the building’s floors. Coopers installed FireMaster fire curtains over the lift door openings over four floors to achieve this.

Boundary Protection was required as part of the fire safety solutions and therefore FireMaster fire curtains and FireMaster Concertina fire curtains were installed to ensure the fire safety requirements were met.

To avoid a post and side guides in the corner of the window, a FireMaster Concertina was installed to fit the shape of the window and drop to prevent the spread of fire to any nearby buildings.

The Coopers Fire large range of products for various applications means that there is an innovative fire protective product to fit the need of various designs and applications whilst achieving the necessary fire safety.

The FireMaster Concertina offers up to four hours fire resistance for heights to 5 metres or two hours for heights to 8 metres.

The FireMaster Concertina can be bespoke to each project and can be produced to fit an array of different shapes and sizes for it to fit any kind of building design in various applications.

Coopers Fire is a turnkey business, offering the customer a product and service with full provenance.

Coopers Fire designs, manufactures, tests, installs and maintains all its fire curtains from the business premises in Hampshire, UK.

Securiton AG presents Genius Plus smoke detectors

The intelligence of radio smoke detectors is entering a new dimension of protection and safety with the Basic and Pro radio modules (collective alarm) of Genius Plus X from Securiton AG.

A convincing solution

  • Radio transmission on the 868 MHz frequency immune to interference.
  • No pollution by radio waves: radio signals are transmitted only in the event of a real event. No other type of radio radiation.
  • Alarm forwarding in just 3 seconds.

Repeater
To cover long distances and reliably transmit the radio signal, each Genius Plus X radio smoke detector is equipped with a repeater, which acts as a signal amplifier by capturing the radio signal and forwarding it to the nearest detector. And even if the radio signal fails, the repeater automatically searches for the fastest possible route to the next detector.

Genius Port: receiving fire alarms anywhere, anytime

Genius Port allows you to receive, analyse, forward and silence fire alarms anywhere and anytime. This system locates all the alarm signals of the smoke detectors connected to the network via radio and forwards them to the user’s mobile device and to the Smart Home systems.
