Advanced smoke protection and ventilation for integrated retirement communities

Specialist knowledge in smoke ventilation is crucial for high-rise integrated retirement communities to ensure the highest standards of safety and comfort for residents.

Our expertise in designing, installing and maintaining advanced smoke control and ventilation systems enhances living environments whilst guaranteeing peace of mind through compliance and protection.

Working across the entire value chain

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.

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.
