After speaking to and meeting with the client and building owner on site, we could instantly see that there were a number of protected parts of the listed building that we would not be able to work through. The design team worked through a number of different design options in line with both the project architects and the local fire authority to ensure that the solution being developed was suitable and adequate for the risk.

The design team specified a SmartMist Guardian watermist system. Designed, tested and assembled fully by our in-house team, the guardian system provided a discreet, flush discharge nozzle perfectly suitable for every ‘at risk’ area within the project. First fix was completed by our in-house engineering team before ceilings were finished, in line with the standard programme of works issued, and as such we were able to fully complete the first fix with no issues.

Once ceilings had been boarded and decorated, the team returned to site to complete the second fix stage, whereby the nozzles were installed into the system, pressure tested and recessed back into the ceiling. The Guardian pump system was installed and was left live and commissioned ready for practical completion of the project.
