Construction and maintenance company Lovell, has specified WES+ wireless fire alarm system from Ramtech Electronics. The system, which incorporates automatic heat/smoke detection units, is now providing 24/7 fire alarm coverage across this large residential site. Being compliant with the relevant sections of EN 54 means that WES+ will help to ensure the safety of personnel working on site as well new homeowners that will move into the properties as they are completed, due to the ability of fire to spread. Richard Moore, Project Manager of the Lovell Dagenham site, said: “One of the reasons we specified WES+ for this site was because it is very easy to add or remove units as the site develops. “Being able to add extra units was an important factor for us, considering the scale of this site. It is reassuring to know that the WES+ could provide coverage across the entire development!” www.wesfire.co.uk Don’t panic – guaranteed delivery takes the drama out of exit door hardware »»A NEW DELIVERY guarantee and quick buyer’s guide to choosing the right panic and emergency door hardware have been launched by HOPPE (UK) Ltd.
