Protecting Students

With extensive experience working on student accommodation properties, iMist™ provide cost-effective fire suppression solutions to protect students and the property.

Keeping students safe is a priority at iMist™. We have a team of fire suppression professionals who have extensive experience working within open environments and we are dedicated to helping organisations meet all the relevant building regulations.
 
With projects ranging from the 700+ student units at Caradog House in Cardiff’s City Centre to Queens Court Student Halls in Reading, we understand the challenges that come with each and every project of this type. Our engineers are adept in installing solutions that are compliant, as well as delivering them on time and on budget. Working in and around student homes means that we must often deliver within tight timescales and installation can even be completed while residents are still in situ. It is all in a day’s work for our teams.

Why is a Fire Suppression System needed?

BSI: 9991 says you must have an AWFSS in the following circumstances;

 

5.2.1.2 Multi-Basement Buildings

For dwellings with multiple floors below ground level, a protected stairway, and an AWFSS is required. 9 meters should not be exceeded from the foot of the protected stair to any habitable room.

6.4 (b) Dwelling Houses with one or more storey greater than 7.5m in height (4 storeys)

A second, separate protected stairwell is not required if AWFSS is fitted throughout.

9.1 (d) Internal Planning of Flats and Maisonettes

Flats or maisonettes with an open plan arrangement and more than one floor should have a protected stairway and AWFSS fitted. This allows escape to the shared external entrance.

9.4.2 (a) Extended travel distances within an open-plan flat

Flats more than 4.5m above ground level that are entered on the same level can increase total travel distances to the entrances from 9m to 20m with the use of AWFSS throughout the entire building, along with a LD1 fire detection and fire alarm system in accordance with BS 5839-6:2013.

9.3 (b) Provision of inner rooms in flats not more than 4.5m in height

Inner rooms are not suggested unless the use of an AWFSS is utilised throughout the entire building, along with a grade D LD1 Fire detection and fire alarm system in accordance with BS 5839-6:2013.

9.7 Open Plan Layouts

Open planned flats are permissible with a fully fitted AWFSS.
