Services
Smoke Ventilation
Our smoke ventilation systems rapidly clear smoke and heat during fires, ensuring safe evacuation routes. Designed to meet BS EN 12101 standards, they integrate with building fire strategies. Ideal for high-rise buildings, commercial spaces, and public facilities requiring compliance with ADB 2000 regulations.
Natural Ventilation
Energy-efficient natural ventilation solutions improve indoor air quality while reducing energy costs. Our CE-approved actuators and controls automatically manage airflow. Suitable for offices, schools, and residential buildings needing sustainable climate control and reduced CO2 levels.
CFD Modelling
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modelling predicts smoke behaviour in complex buildings. This ensures optimal ventilation design for fire safety compliance. Used for high-risk environments like hospitals, shopping centres, and industrial facilities requiring BRE Report 79204 adherence.
Ventilation Maintenance
Preventative maintenance contracts extend system lifespan and ensure ongoing compliance. Includes 24/7 emergency repairs, quarterly inspections, and detailed service logs. Critical for maintaining functionality of life-saving systems in commercial and public buildings.
AOV Systems
AOV systems automatically open during fires to control smoke dispersion. Available as roof vents, louvres, or windows, they meet EN12101-2 standards. Essential for stairwells, corridors, and enclosed spaces requiring rapid smoke clearance during emergencies.
