What C-TEC is taking to London Build and why it matters in the UK

C-TEC confirms London Build exhibition presence

C-TEC said it will exhibit at London Build, described by the company as the UK’s biggest construction show.

The company confirmed it will present a range of CAST powered open-protocol life-safety system solutions at the event.

The exhibition will take place in London, UK, according to the company.

Product line-up features compliance-focused launches

C-TEC said it will debut a brand-new range of Lockdown Solutions designed as monitored, battery-backed, multi-message systems to help organisations comply with Martyn’s Law – the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025.

The company stated that HUSH-PRO is a fully monitored BS 5839-6 Grade C residential fire alarm system intended to minimise false alarms and increase fire protection in flats, apartments and other domestic settings.

C-TEC said EVAC-ALERT is a BS 8629:2019+A1:2023 compliant evacuation alert system to assist the fire and rescue service in evacuating part or all of a building in an emergency.

The firm added that ZFP CAST is a touchscreen-controlled one to eight loop fire alarm system fully compatible with CAST-PRO, which was recently named Fire Innovation of the Year.

C-TEC said ENVISION is a cloud-based Fire IoT remote access, data management, commissioning and maintenance solution compatible with the company’s CAST-powered systems.

Additional systems to be displayed in London

C-TEC confirmed it will also exhibit its SigTEL disabled refuge system at London Build.

The company said it will show its AlertBuddy deaf person’s alert system at the event.

C-TEC added that Quantec-Pro, described as its next-generation addressable call system, will be on the stand in London, UK.

Relevance for fire and safety professionals

System installers and fire-protection contractors may note that HUSH-PRO is described as a fully monitored BS 5839-6 Grade C residential fire alarm system intended to reduce false alarms in domestic settings.

Architects and building services engineers working on high-rise or complex residential schemes may look at EVAC-ALERT, which the company states is compliant with BS 8629:2019+A1:2023 for evacuation alert systems.

Facility managers and procurement officers assessing integration and lifecycle support may be interested in ENVISION, which C-TEC describes as a cloud-based Fire IoT platform for remote access, data management, commissioning and maintenance across CAST-powered systems.

Venue security and estates teams evaluating preparedness measures may review the Lockdown Solutions range, which C-TEC positions as monitored, battery-backed, multi-message systems to help organisations comply with Martyn’s Law in the UK.

C-TEC launch EVAC-ALERT BS 8629 evacuation alert system

The new BS 8629:2019 gives guidance on Evacuation Alert Systems installed in blocks of flats to assist the Fire and Rescue Service (FRS) in evacuating part or all of a building in an emergency. C-TEC’s new EVAC-ALERT system can be customised to create a simple-to-use and cost-effective BS 8629-compliant solution in any high-rise residential building.

Housed in a robust vandal-resistant locked cabinet accessible only by the FRS in an emergency, the control panel features an intuitive interface, bright LED indicators and easy-to-operate toggle switches for each evacuation zone. Each panel can connect to an array of evacuation alert devices including sounders, visual alert devices and even vibrating devices and pagers to alert the deaf, hard of hearing or mobility impaired.

Highly flexible, EVAC-ALERT is comprised of EN54-2/4 third-party certified components and can be used to create building-specific wired, wireless or hybrid evacuation alert systems in consultation with the relevant FRS.

Said Andy Scott, Project Director at C-TEC: “As a leading manufacturer of world-class life-safety systems, C-TEC has an enviable reputation for delivering high-quality standard-compliant solutions at a competitive price. We’ve utilised our time-tested technology and expertise to create EVAC-ALERT, a system specifically designed to meet the exact requirements of BS 8629 and one which is certain to be of interest to landlords, property managers and local authorities keen to ensure their buildings fully comply with this new standard.”
