Advanced smoke ventilation from SE Controls protects Nottingham students A £55 million student accommodation development in Nottingham is using integrated smoke and heat exhaust ventilation systems from SE Controls to provide smoke free escape routes for around 1,000 students living in the new purpose-designed apartments at Chettles Yard. To meet the fire safety and smoke ventilation needs in three of the new buildings at the Chettles Yard development, SE Controls developed specific smoke and heat ventilation solutions for each accommodation block, based around its versatile SHEVTEC® system. As the maximum escape travel distance in two of the apartment buildings was within the 7.5 metre limit covered by Approved Document B of the Building Regulations, the SHEVTEC Natural Corridor Ventilation System was installed. In the event of a fire, the main exit route is through a singe protected stairwell, so the SE Controls solution had to provide high integrity smoke and heat ventilation that not only allowed occupants to travel the increased distance to safety, but must also perform at least as well as the code compliant systems installed in the other two accommodation blocks. l For more information call 01543 443060 or visit

Grundfos answers DIY SOS The Norris Green Youth Centre in Liverpool was the setting for the biggest challenge ever to be taken on by the BBC programme, DIY SOS, in aid of Children in Need. The 60-year-old building – located in one of the poorest areas in Liverpool – was in a very poor state of repair when Nick Knowles and the team arrived, with just nine days to transform the premises into a centre that the local community could take pride in. l For more information call 01525 850000 or email
