OUR SUPPRESSION CAPABILITY

Suppression systems are designed to prevent a fire from taking hold, to stop its spread and ultimately reduce the impact on life, property and your business.

Suppression covers everything including portable extinguishers, gas extinguishing and water mist systems , aerosol extinguishant and cooker hood suppression.

At Senseco Systems we offer a complete package for suppression, from system selection through to design including flow calculations and installation of a system that fits in with your needs and budget. We’ll be on hand to provide detailed advice every step of the way.

We understand all of these systems and keep up-to-date with the latest technology and standards, so we have all the potential solutions at our fingertips. This means we’ll provide impartial advice and assist you in choosing a system that best suits your needs and risks.

Gas Extinguishing

We’re experienced at the full range of gaseous extinguishing systems for all different types of environment, and we can advise you on the best suppression system to meet your needs.

We offer the full range of inert gas suppression systems, which are an environmentally-friendly form of extinguishing. They use inert gases that are naturally occurring in the normal atmosphere we breathe. The systems work by introducing an inert gas to reduce oxygen to levels where a fire can’t be supported, while remaining at a safe level for people to breathe.

We install chemical gases such as FK-5-1-12 (commonly known as NOVEC 1230 which is a 3M brand name) which is ideal for small comms rooms or where space is at a premium. We also maintain systems such as HFC227ea (FM200), but due to F Gas regulations and restrictions, we find our clients are often looking for different solutions.

We carry out Room Integrity Testing in house.

COMMS ROOM

In this digital age, your communications room is the beating heart of your business operation. You rely on it to keep your staff connected, with each other and your customers. Or if you’re responsible for a data centre, it’s crucial that you provide a secure environment for your client’s servers, data and business operation.

It’s vital that your digital communications and network devices are protected and maintained. And when you employ a company to design, install or maintain your extinguishing system, it’s important to know it has the relevant experience and accreditations to prove its competence.

Senseco Systems are competent and certificated for suppression systems.

SILENT EXTINGUISHING

The noise from some inert gas suppression activations can damage hard drives and put your communications room at risk. There have been instances of this over the last few years but it’s only recently that the issue has become better known. There have been a number of high-profile incidents, which prove that this is a real risk.

PORTABLE EXTINGUISHERS

Portable extinguishers and fire blankets provide an accessible and effective first line of defence against fire. They can put out a small fire and prevent it spreading, potentially averting a major disaster.

We can advise on and offer a full range of extinguishers in line with standards and to meet your particular risks.

Our extinguisher maintenance contracts include all consumables needed on a service, such as clips, tags and seals, meaning no hidden costs or extras. Additionally, we also provide the five and ten-year extended service, where discharge testing and refurbishing or replacing the extinguishers are needed, however replacement units are often more cost effective. We can guide you on the best option.

We offer extinguisher servicing by our experienced, in-house extinguisher engineers, as part of our range of maintenance services.

Water Mist

Water mist has the advantage of being completely natural because it uses no chemicals. Plus, it’s very effective at fighting smoke as well as fire.

We provide a range of water mist suppression products that fit in with various situations. Deciding which one is right for you depends on the specific risk and the type of fire likely to be present. We design systems with the correct nozzle type to deliver the most suitable droplet size, density and spray pattern to suit the application. We install high and low pressure systems. All systems we use have been tested and approved for specific environments, so you can be sure of a tried and tested method of suppression, which is compliant with the relevant standards.

COOKER HOOD SUPPRESSION

We can work with you to install, commission and maintain the cooker hood suppression system in your commercial kitchen.

It’s vital that cooking ranges are protected from the risk of fire with a suitably designed and sized system. Within the Senseco group we have Ansul® approved partners and also work with a range of other cooker hood suppression systems to ensure we offer you a variety of systems and services.

Plus, it’s important to remember that if there are any changes in cooking arrangements, your cooker hood suppression system must be altered in line with this to ensure optimum protection at all times.

We provide maintenance of cooker hoods, and our basic service price includes consumable parts needed to carry out the maintenance, so you’ll be pleased to know there are no hidden extras.

SUPPRESSION MAINTENANCE

We’re experienced at maintaining a full range of suppression systems in line with the relevant standards and with the correct accreditation/certification.

Plus, we excel at comms room protection and gas extinguishing maintenance.

Our fully-qualified engineers are experts in the maintenance of many different gas suppression systems. And we’ll make sure your detection and mechanical gas extinguishing systems are working correctly, and that annual room integrity tests are carried out.

We also hydrostatically test, or replace cylinders that are over 10 years old, which is required by law.

Somerset House

Somerset House is a heritage property dating back to 1547 in the heart of London. Although it is well known for it’s outdoor skating rink at Christmas and open air concerts in the summer, it has many other uses and accommodates many other tenants. It hosts the UK’s largest creative community working globally across art, technology, business and social enterprise.

The South Wing of Somerset House had a mix of hard wired fire detection system, an obsolete radio / wireless fire detection system and many aspiration systems, most no longeroperational. The project was to replace all of the systems in the South Wing with a single fire detection system for all areas and provide graphical representation of this wing and two other wings with legacy systems on a single graphics platform.

This was all to be carried out within a listed building with mixed use and different tenants with minimal disruption to day to day operations.

Castle Mall

Located in the centre of Norwich City, Castle Mall shopping centre comprises of 60 stores and food outlets, across five levels of retail and leisure, including an 8-screen Vue cinema. The centre also boasts a 790 space multi-storey car park.

The fire detection and alarm system installed in the shopping centre was a Honeywell FC90 system, which was closed protocol and had reached the end of its working life. A replacement system was therefore needed to provide a modern supportable system for the shopping centre.

This is a working shopping centre so minimal disruption to the operation of the shopping centre, retailers and shoppers was of paramount importance.

Uniper Enfield

Uniper’s portfolio combines large-scale power generation and management of energy supply chains. Uniper’s former parent company was E.ON, who now focus on the new energy world.

Uniper Power Station in Enfield had fire, suppression and voice alarm systems that had reached the end of their serviceable life.  They needed modern control equipment which would combine controls for different extinguishing systems into a centralised control station.  The extinguishing systems themselves also needed replacing or updating.

Senseco were chosen to provide a bespoke solution providing controls and upgrades for gas extinguishing, water mist and deluge systems along with a replacement voice alarm rack.  Our power station expertise and ability to provide flexible, custom built solutions to meet Uniper’s needs were key to the project.
