• Silent Extinguishing

    The noise from some inert gas suppression activations can damage hard drives and put your data centre / 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.

    To prevent this damage, we can install a system that uses “acoustic/silent” nozzle technology to reduce the sound energy of the gas discharge in a similar way to the silencer on a car exhaust. We offer new systems with “acoustic/silent” nozzles, designed to reduce noise and therefore lessen the acoustic impact and can offer advice on upgrading your existing system.

    We can assess your existing system and advise on changes needed. It could simply be a case of exchanging your existing nozzles with “acoustic/silent” nozzles with the same flow characteristics. Or it may be necessary to review and change the valves, and look at extended discharge times and other modifications, as well as nozzle changes. We have the expertise and work with all leading manufacturers and will offer you the right solution for your system.

    An example of an assessment and solution we provided for a client is detailed in the case study below along with further background information.

    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.
