90 SAFETY & SECURITY


In addition to stopping the passage of smoke and fire, fire stops can function as an acoustic barrier


frequently if dictated by the fire strategy of the building. Fire stops should be fitted tightly around all bracketry to restrict the passage of smoke.


Where there is potential for gaps, the product must be sealed with a sealant that carries the same fire insulation and integrity rating as the perimeter barrier. All installa- tions should be carried out in accordance with manufacturers’ instructions; where fixing brackets are required, these should be fitted and spaced in accordance with a certi- fied fire test report.


Products used for fire safety installation should carry a third-party certification in order to ensure that the product supplied is the same as that tested. In addition, any products used to improve the acoustic performance must not contribute to the fire load or inhibit the performance of the perimeter barrier.


A high-profile project


The recently-completed Al Fattan Crystal Towers in Dubai, UAE, had to adhere to


Chris Hall is commercial development officer of Siderise


vertical and horizontal compartmentation requirements, the specification of Siderise CW-FS 120 firestops provided the contractor Cladtech with a comprehensive solution that could maintain a fire and smoke seal in one product and could successfully fill linear gaps at the podium levels in excess of 300 mm. For the Crystal Towers project, Cladtech installed 12,000 linear metres of the fire stops, including horizontal (floor slab) and vertical compartmentation. With the timeline on the project being absolutely critical, the use of this dry fix system enabled the work to be completed quickly and efficiently, ready for handover to subcontractors.


While specifying the correct product is


vital, the quality of installation is equally as important, as a well-designed and installed system can mean the difference between life and death.


Impressive development chooses SE Controls


control systems from SE Controls to provide a safe environment for residents, by ensuring escape routes are kept clear of smoke in the event of a fire. Designed by Hodder & Partners and


O


constructed by developer-contractor, Renaker Build Ltd, the new building stands on a previ- ously derelict 0.35 hectare site and now provides 282 private rental apartments With such a large number of apartments at Cambridge Street, fire safety is an essential consideration of the building’s design with the smoke control system being an integral part of the solution. Each tower has its own escape staircase


at the centre of the structure, which is protected by SE Controls smoke ventilation and control systems. These systems are code compliant to Building Regulations Approved Document B, as the travel distance


ne of Manchester’s latest high rise residential developments, Cambridge Street, is using smoke


from each apartment is less than 7.5 metres. Every floor of each tower is fitted with an automatically opening smoke vent door, leading to a dedicated smoke shaft, which includes a SHEVTEC automatically opening louvre at roof level. This allows smoke and hot air to be vented and ensures corridors and escape routes are kept clear. On the top floor of each block, an additional corridor roof vent is also incorporated as part of the design, which is controlled by a dedicated SHEVTEC control panel. The smoke vent doors use SE Controls actuators, which are compliant with BS EN 12101, and these are controlled by a series of OSLoop controllers that provide instant response in the event of a fire to ensure the appropriate doors are opened, allowing smoke to escape. Cambridge Street, is also installed with


SECloudlinkTM, a remote services solution from SE Controls that uses 4G communica- tions technology to constantly provide system


status information, allowing data to be displayed remotely to enable facilities and building managers to monitor the building’s smoke control system.
