New company launched in waste sector


FIRESHIELD SYSTEMS Ltd aims to ‘improve fi re services to [the] waste sector’. The company focuses on fi re detection and suppression systems for the waste and recycling industry, and states that current solutions offered to companies ‘or enforced by insurers and regulating bodies’ are ‘often ill-informed, outdated and in some cases unfeasible’. Its formation aims to offer detection solutions and suppression mediums ‘sourced from internationally recognised,


third party


accredited manufacturers’. These chosen manufacturers are ones who specialise in ‘high risk applications relevant to the waste and recycling sector’, with the company’s founding members having more than 20 years of experience ‘designing,


specifying, installing and


maintaining fi re systems’ across the waste and recycling sectors along with other ‘high risk industries’. Founding members include managing


director Mark Bain; technical director Russell Bonnett;


engineering manager Andy Shaw; and lead engineer Liam Sierota.


The company concept came from waste and recycling operator Chris Mountain, who had experienced ‘poor service and systems’ installed at his Mid UK Recycling facilities.

Among the company’s services are installing and maintaining


detection and suppression systems on a bespoke basis. Fixed and mobile solutions are available for buildings, equipment and materials, alongside a client portal software that logs all installations and allows customers to track service requirements and ‘book services proactively’. There are also plans for the company to expand into ‘other related specialist markets’ in the future. Mr Bain commented: ‘Our philosophy is


to have [a] competent, experienced and fully trained installation team, headed up by Andy and Liam who will fully train incoming engineers in accordance with the stringent installation protocols that our suppliers insist on. There are various industry standards that we work to and it’s imperative we maintain these high levels of work.’


Apollo launches new Test Set THIS LATEST testing device aims to help commissioning and system maintenance


engineers with fault


fi nding on Apollo devices. Apollo stated that the Test Set was


created to allow both commissioning and fault fi nding of Apollo devices, as well as ‘interrogating and controlling all units connected to the device’ individually or as a complete circuit. It features a touch screen display and works with all Apollo analogue addressable protocols including XP95, Discovery and CoreProtocol. Its main function is to help


engineers ‘guarantee the correct loop confi guration is in place before an active control panel is


installed’, with


either the loop or individual addresses able to be connected to the unit using loop connection ports


‘located on


the top of the device for easy access’. Each set also has testing capability for diagnostics and integrity of the loop ‘to discover earth faults and other system weaknesses’.


Users can interrogate devices in


different ways, including a standard view for scanning and controlling through output manipulation, and self testing is possible alongside control of different functionality modes.

and a control


panel installed on fi ve fl oors and the platform. For more information,
