ABLOY UK HAS SUPPLIED ScottishPower with a compliant fire door solution to secure their Battery Rooms without compromising on health , safety or aesthetics .
They operate in the generation , transmission and distribution of electricity , energy management and supply of gas and electricity in the UK .
Fire doors supplied
ScottishPower required a number of fire doors across four sites with a fireresistance rating used as part of a passive fire protection system , with the aim of reducing the spread of fire and enabling safe egress from a building .
‘ Abloy UK offered the full package ’
The main priority was maintaining the safety of staff and it was also important for the doors to be aesthetically pleasing due
to the age of the sites . Furthermore , It was imperative that the locking elements of the hardware were fire-rated in order for the doors and hardware to both be able to withstand a fire .
Abloy UK ’ s range of steel fire doors come with a non-combustible core , include single and double leaf configurations and can be certified latched or unlatched depending on size and configuration . The doors are tested to BS 476 Part 22 and EN 1634-1:2008 , as well as being Certifire compliant and therefore regularly audited and approved to ensure continued conformity .
Richard Linton , Electrical Control and Instrumentation Engineer at ScottishPower is responsible for site visits and surveys , reviewing of suppliers and dealing with enquiries from clients .
Regarding the install , Richard had the following comments : ‘ We have a long standing relationship with Abloy UK ; their brand is well known within the market so when we discovered they could offer a complete compliant solution , we arranged a meeting to discuss this further . At the initial meeting we talked about several options in regards to compliance , security and health and safety . Abloy UK offered the full package with supply , delivery , removal , survey and install .”
