EVACUATION ALERT SYSTEM FROM ADVANCED HELPS PROTECT RESIDENTS

Fire protection solutions manufacturer, Advanced, has supplied its EvacGo evacuation alert system to two high-rise residential tower blocks in Huyton, Merseyside, following a series of fire safety improvements to the buildings. Following a significant programme of compartmentation works undertaken in 2018, the 11-storey Knowsley Heights buildings have benefitted from a refit that includes installation of Advanced’s EvacGo system, which is compliant with the BS 8629 Code of Practice, for the design, installation, commissioning and maintenance of evacuation alert systems for use by fire and rescue services in England and Wales. ABM Fire and Security undertook the complete supply, installation and commissioning of the EvacGo systems. A four-loop, 16-zone evacuation alert panel was installed in each building. Each EvacGo panel is housed inside a STS 205 security-rated enclosure with patented BS EN 1303-compliant lock-and-key mechanism for exclusive access by the fire and rescue service – ensuring minimal risk of unauthorised use and full compliance with BS 8629.
