Projects

An IG55 inerting system has been installed within five library archive rooms in the main legal district of London. These libraries house old, irreplaceable, historic legal books and documents. The existing wet sprinkler system posed a damage threat to the library contents and was replaced with separate standalone Kidde Argonite gaseous suppression systems to each library room. The systems are controlled via Kentec Electronics extinguishant control panels and automatic Apollo fire detectors. Pressure relief cascade venting was designed by AFP Airtech Limited.

A Novec 1230 system was installed to protect a new laboratory in London during 2018. The system comprises of 2 x Kidde Novec 1230 cylinders, with the second cylinder fired pneumatically from the primary cylinder. The system is controlled via Kentec Electronics extinguishant control panels and automatic Apollo fire detectors. Pressure relief two way venting was designed by AFP Airtech Limited with a special colour external grille to match other, weathered external paintwork to the building.

Pre-action sprinkler control system for a major, multi-hall, Data Centre in West London. The pre-action system, installed by Marioff, are controlled via a networked, multi-panel Advanced Electronics system, with Kentec Electronics extinguishant control panels providing the pre-action output signals when smoke is detected via the Apollo automatic fire detectors and/or Xtralis VESDA aspirating detection.
