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.
