Burnland, Westhill Housing Development
This prestigious housing project was a pleasure to be involved in. Working on behalf of our highly valued client CHAP construction, we installed a domestic sprinkler system to feed 12 luxury affordable homes. The BS9251:2021 sprinkler system was fed from an external pump and tank combination unit and each house had their own individual flow switch and isolation valve. All flow switches were interfaced with the houses smoke alarms to provide an alarm in the event of an activation.
As always, all works were 3rd party certified through IFC.
Croy Housing Development
We were tasked with the design, installation and commissioning of a BS9251:2021 domestic fire sprinkler system to feed 15 new build affordable homes in Croy. We worked closely with our client Miller Homes during the design stage to develop the best possible system to suit the site. We opted for an external combination unit which housed both the pump and the storage tank. Fed from an underground pipe network, each house was then fitted with it’s own flow switch and isolation valve which was interfaced with the individual smoke alarm inside each property.
An auto dialler was also fitted inside the pump housing so that in the event of the pump going into fire mode, a phone call is automatically made to an external call centre who then notify the fire brigade of an activation.
Each plot was individually commissioned and one again all works were 3rd party certified through IFC. A great project to be involved in.
Peterson Halls, Dundee
As well as new installations, Qmech Scotland ltd are also more than happy to help with upgrades to existing systems and retrofits. On behalf of Emtec Group, we carried out the sprinkler system alterations and upgrades to the Peterson Halls student accommodation in Dundee. Due to the bedroom layouts changing, the sprinkler system had to be altered to ensure all areas were protected, including the en-suites. We upgraded the system to meet the BS9251:2021 standards and installed Flowatch to ensure the system was fully monitored.
A tough project due to a very tight programme but we made sure we hit every deadline and completed the project within the timescale.
Discovery Quay 2, Manchester
What an excellent project to be involved in! It was our pleasure to work on behalf of Excelsior Services again on this project designing and installing the fire sprinkler system. The system was designed to BS9251:2021 with full Flowatch monitoring throughout and fed from a combined sprinkler and domestic water booster pump and tank by the use of a priority demand valve. This was a great project on behalf of a very valued client. The job was extremely well run from start to finish and as always, the standard of our engineers install was first class. Well done to all involved.
Camphill Avenue, Glasgow
This project consisted of a townhouse conversion to four individual flats. We designed and installed the fire sprinkler system to conform to BS9251:2021. For our valve and component monitoring we used the Flowatch monitoring system which impressed our client. We installed a pump and tank in the designated space in the basement and as always issued an IFC certificate of compliance.
Cunningham Kids Home, Ayr
We carried out the works on this project on behalf of MCW Scotland. This project required us to tee into the existing sprinkler system in the attic space and extend the system to cover the newly built extension. Communication was key for this project and working within a short time frame we managed to drain the system down, install the new pipework into the extension, refill and commission the system all within the timeframe agreed with the staff. As always, our system was signed off with a certificate of compliance from IFC.
Killearn Development
We were delighted to be a part of the development of the old Killearn Hotel. The hotel was converted into 16 new build luxury flats. Our works consisted of the design, supply and installation of a residential fire sprinkler system conforming to BS9251:2014.
Frederick House Student Accommodation, York
We continued our good working relationship with Excelsior Services ltd on this student accommodation project. This project consisted of six blocks of accommodation ranging from townhouses to residential blocks of single dwellings. We installed a residential fire sprinkler system to all blocks fed from a combined sprinkler and water services booster pump and tank. A priority demand valve was installed to ensure that in the event of a sprinkler head activating, all water would be diverted to the sprinkler system. As always, the client was issued with an IFC compliance certificate.
