customers who require third party servicing and approved spares for their UPS, by enabling them to check if their chosen engineers are fully trained and competent to carry out the work. To achieve Riello Certified Engineer status, engineers from Riello resellers must successfully complete training on the commissioning, maintenance and servicing of Riello UPS products. On successful completion of the training, engineers are allocated an ID card with a unique identification number which customers can use to search a dedicated website - www.riello-engineer.co.uk - to verify the individual’s certification status and core competencies. www.riello-engineer.co.uk


STAYING THE PACE WITH UNIVERSITY PROJECT


Marshall-Tufflex has provided its cable management solutions to the refurbishment of the Pace Building within Durham University’s Palace Green Library. Each of the many desks within the library have


power delivered by Marshall-Tufflex’s charcoal coloured Sterling Profile 1 dado trunking where a perimeter cable management solution was required. Project mechanical and


electrical building design consultant Desco, turned to Marshall-Tufflex to provide cable containment that combined looks and performance and was in


line with GSS Architecture’s requirement for trunking to suit the architectural aesthetic of the building. Sterling Profile delivered the required style, colour and finish for the project together with functionality - the 167x50mm trunking also has three segregated compartments that can be sub-divided as required, making it an attractive and flexible solution.

A Kentec wireless fire alarm system is protecting the tunnel between the main Circus Big-Top and the dressing/holding tent during performances of the Cirque du Soleil’s Quidam tour in Munich. The system, designed around a single loop Kentec


Syncro AS analogue addressable fire alarm control panel, uses Argus open communications protocol with Hyfire devices including one translator and two expanders to control 22 wireless sounder strobes and wireless manual call points. The fire alarm system was connected to a Scope


pager system that, on activation, would first alert on-site fire wardens and security staff via radio pagers. Any alarm would need to be investigated to determine its status, before triggering the audible fire alarm and evacuating the big top.
