The
various Regulations which apply to active Smoke Control Systems
and Pressurisation Systems require increasing self regulation with
Fire Risk Assessments and continuous monitoring of assessed risks
by the Building Owner or Responsible Manager, with attendant reduction
in input available from the Fire Authorities.
Specialist support is essential where active smoke
control is installed, due to the complexity of the Fire Engineering
which is applied to these systems.
Airvent provide a fully resourced support facility
where required, covering:
Condition Reporting - where whole
life depreciation monitoring has highlighted a shortfall in scheme
reliability or operational compliance.
Design Support - individual fire engineering case
studies where for example, there are changes being made to the building
fabric or usage.
Compliance - where changes in
Regulations are introduced which affect the scheme under contract.
Cause and Effect monitoring - a number of relatively
small changes to a building can affect the overall Fire Strategy
and Cause and Effect, requiring the overall strategy to be reviewed
in detail.
Fire Risk Assessment - fire engineered calculations
to determine and confirm the ongoing suitability of the scheme installed.
Fire Authority negotiations - where self regulation
needs to be supported by specialist input to satisfy the Fire authorities.
Given that buildings vary greatly in complexity, and by implication
the installed Smoke Control Systems and Pressurisation Systems also
vary in content, Airvent provide a bespoke approach to all of the
above support facilities, providing fixed price support against
each specific requirement.
