Advanced’s Fire Protection installed in the heart of Birmingham
F
ire protection solutions manufacturer, Advanced, has supplied intelligent fire panels and evacuation alert systems to a mixed-use development at the prestigious One Victoria Square, and adjoining One Swallow Street, as part of a major refurbishment to grade A specification. One Victoria Square fronts onto one of Birmingham’s most high profile and iconic squares and the gateway to the Central Business District. A mixed-use development, it has multiple levels containing mainly office space, with a retail unit on the ground floor. Meanwhile the adjoining One Swallow Street also has multiple levels but offers residential apartments. Advanced’s high-performance,
fault-
tolerant MxPro 5 analogue addressable panels were chosen to provide industry- leading protection to all levels at One Victoria Square and the linked building One Swallow Street. In addition, One Swallow Street also benefits from BS 8629-compliant EvacGo
evacuation alert systems which were installed to help keep residents safe. Fire safety specialists, Gem Fire Solutions was involved in the project from design through to commissioning. They installed eight networked MxPro 5 fire panels along with an Advanced graphics system and Apollo devices across both buildings. In One Swallow Street three EvacGo evacuation alert systems were also installed along with Hyfire sounders. Jamie Dyer, Gem Fire Solutions, said: “As a mixed-used development it was important to find a solution that would meet the requirements of both the commercial and residential buildings. Advanced’s ability to provide a full package of fire panels, graphics and evacuation alert systems made the choice simple. The MxPro 5 panels were the ideal solution
