network of 31 ExGo gas extinguishant control panels have been installed as part of the active fire
artificial island gateway in Hong Kong that serves as an entry and exit point to the new 34-mile bridge-tunnel system, used by over a 10 million passengers in its first eight months. The ExGo panels were selected to protect
critical server rooms in more than 10 different buildings on the purpose-built island, including police and fire stations as well as customs and different administrative buildings. Each gas extinguishant control panel is connected to at least one remote status indicator unit located at the protected area entryway. Each extinguishing system was designed, configured and commissioned by Peak Trade International Limited. Constructed using around 420,000 tonnes
of steel - enough to build 60 Eiffel Towers – the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge has been designed to last for the next 120 years, and is set to deliver significant economic
advantages to the region. ExGo has been developed specifically for sensitive and strategic assets such as server rooms and data centres, control rooms, as well as historic and cultural attractions. It is suitable for almost all single-flooding area applications and includes a range of control options and devices. It is approved to EN54 parts 2, 4 and 13 as well as EN12094-1 and is among the first systems to combine these with EN12094 in a single solution. (EN12094-3 relates to the integrated manual
Second FIRA Gold Certification for Salice
Furniture hardware manufacturers, Salice, have achieved a second FIRA Gold Certification, this time for their Silentia+ soft-close hinges. This new certification is in addition to the one held for their Salice series 200 hinges, which was attained in 1990. As part of the FIRA Gold Certification process the hinges were tested to ‘Level H’ of BS 6222-2:2009+A1:2017 Domestic kitchen equipment – Fitted kitchen units, peninsular units, island units and breakfast bars – Performance requirements and test methods. Level H is the most severe test under the standard and is used to assess performance and durability when heavy use is expected or where the users are not expected to exercise care. As such, the testing process subjected the hinges to 60,000 opening and closing cycles on a constant loop to gauge long-term performance. Walter Gosling, branch director at Salice said: “We’re delighted to have achieved a second FIRA Gold as it demonstrates the quality of the Silentia+ hinges. The range has an adjustable integrated soft-close mechanism which is operated by twin silicone-oil dampers housed in the hinge cup, which allows a perfect and constant closing of the door in any condition.”
