CARDIFF APARTMENTS MEET BS 8629 CODE OF PRACTICE WITH INSTALLATION OF EVACGO

Two seven-storey residential apartment buildings in the cultural and social hot-spot of Cardiff Bay are now protected by evacuation alert systems from UK manufacturer , Advanced .
The EvacGo panels have been installed to meet the criteria set out in 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 .
Situated in Cardiff Bay ’ s Tiger Quay development , Roath House and Queen Alexandra House are a mix of 73 social and market-rented one and two-bedroom apartments managed by Trivallis , one of Wales ’ largest housing associations . Trivallis appointed Cardiff-based , Tremorfa Ltd , to complete the installation , requesting that Advanced ’ s EvacGo solutions be installed to ensure both residential buildings met the BS 8629 recommendations .
With all Advanced evacuation alert systems custom-manufactured to reflect each individual building ’ s evacuation zones , Advanced supplied two EvacGo systems to Tremorfa complete with 1-loop card , expandable from four to eight evacuation zones . The two systems were installed alongside a combined total of 63 sounders to provide audible warning to building occupants in the event of an emergency .
