Enclosed car park and basement extract systems

Underground spaces present unique smoke control challenges. The proper working condition of impulse ventilation, impulse fans / jet fans and extraction systems is vital if these structures are to be considered fire safe. Smoke control allows for preservation of escape routes and smoke clearance and easier fire fighting, which can make all the difference if the building above is to be protected from the fire also.

Smoke and fire dampers

Smoke and fire dampers can make all the difference when it comes to controlling the flow of hazardous smoke in a fire situation, and the spread of the fire itself. Brakel Airvent ensures the mechanisms, which may not be called upon for years at a time, are in perfect working condition so that when called upon they can do what they're intended for saving lives.

Staircore and lobby pressurisation systems

The correct working of a lobby pressurisation system is vital to ensure that, in a fire, escape routes are kept clear, fire fighters have safe access to tackle the fire, and that all doors are able to open safely. This is a complex system to which Brakel Airvent applies careful, multi-faceted maintenance works to meet regulations.

Retractable smoke curtains

The smooth operation of a retractable smoke curtain is vital. Although they may not be called upon for months or even years (if ever), if smoke curtains fail to deploy in a fire situation, they may allow hazardous smoke to gather and lower to ground level in tall structures, presenting significant health and escape route issues.

Solar shading systems

These systems may not be subject to the same life safety regulations as some of the other products Brakel Airvent maintains, but our expertise and resources still apply. We are able to take on solar shading system maintenance as part of ongoing smoke control works.

Powered smoke extract systems

Brakel Airvent supplies a range of different powered and ducted smoke extraction systems, and our expertise also extends to their successful ongoing servicing. This involves cleaning, checking of component parts and ensuring the correct operation of systems as a whole. Our high standard of testing and service ensures compliance with building and H&S regulations.

Compressors

The compressors must be fully functional at all times to ensure the correct operation of other aspects of the smoke control system, so regular maintenance and clearing is a fundamental requirement of any service package.

Controls

The control panel at the heart of a smoke control system is perhaps its most important aspect. Without its continued functionality, a building's smoke controls can be rendered useless, endangering lives and failing compliances. Brakel Airvent's technicians are highly skilled and experienced with all types of controls, in addition to its own Intelli-Vent product.

Natural smoke ventilation systems

Used for day-to-day natural comfort ventilation as much as they are for ventilating smoke from a fire, so proper ongoing maintenance is important for uninterrupted everyday use as much as it is for ensuring fire safety regulations are met.
