High-rise residential buildings represent the challenge of ensuring rapid smoke evacuation and maintaining breathable air, critical for occupant safety and structural integrity during emergencies.
We are experts at designing, installing and maintaining advanced smoke control and ventilation systems that carefully balance safety and compliance requirements, with the need to maximise development profitability.
We work alongside building owners, developers, architects, consultants, main contractors, M&E contractors and building control officers. We design, install and maintain the best possible advanced smoke control ventilation systems that ensure the building is safe, looks good, remains compliant, whilst offering value for money.
In the UK, smoke control systems are mandated in high-rise and multi-storey residential buildings as a critical safety measure to protect residents and property in the event of a fire.
These systems are designed to manage and reduce the spread of smoke within a building, ensuring that exit routes remain visible and accessible, thereby facilitating efficient evacuation and enabling emergency services to reach the affected areas more swiftly.
This requirement is underpinned by stringent building regulations and fire safety standards, which underscore the importance of maintaining a safe environment for occupants and enhancing the building's resilience to fire incidents.
FUMO’s consulting support creates clear, unambiguous specifications for the integration of advanced smoke ventilation systems at the building design stage. It provides you with the compliance assurance you need to progress from initial building design, through to planning application and construction.
