SMART FIRE PREVENTION SYSTEM INSTALLED IN ROCHDALE TOWN CENTRE APARTMENTS
What was the need?
The Riverside development in Rochdale includes two nine storey apartment blocks comprising a mix of 240 one- and two-bedroom properties for private rent. The Fire regulations which apply to high-rise living accommodation meant that the kitchens in the apartments would require a fire suppression unit complete with sprinklers to be fitted.
The solution
As fire suppression units need to be installed and maintained by a specialist engineer and can also cause damage within a property should they be activated due to a fire, the Firechief Kitchen Stove Guard was chosen as an alternative, unobtrusive design-led fire prevention solution to be fitted into all 240 apartment kitchens.
