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 .
