fireworks police custody suites case study

Fireworks Fire Protection installed a Hydramist high pressure watermist system for protecting the cells within the newly built police custody suites at Bridgend and Merthyr. Fireworks designed and supplied a total of six modular hose reels to suit this purpose. \ Police Custody Suites Bridgend and Merthyr South Wales: Case Study \ Project: Working with FP Hurley who were appointed to provide the mechanical services at the new custody suites. Each location house’s 40 cells and also provide a base for CID units. The projects meet the recommendations of the Inspector of Prisons and the Inspector of Constabulary about the need to invest in the new custody facilities to meet legal requirements set by Parliament on detention. The new development also complements similar modern facilities in Cardiff Bay and will help to improve the police service provided throughout South Wales. Solution: Fireworks designed and supplied a total of six modular hose reels to suit this purpose. The Hydramist system is very effective as it has been proven during extensive testing with the Ministry of Justice to successfully suppress the fire at the first attempt and dramatically reduces the temperatures in the cell.

\ Police Custody Suites Bridgend and Merthyr South Wales: Case Study \

Project:

Working with FP Hurley who wereappointed to provide the mechanicalservices at the new custody suites.Each location house’s 40 cells andalso provide a base for CID units.The projects meet therecommendations of the Inspectorof Prisons and the Inspector ofConstabulary about the need to investin the new custody facilities to meetlegal requirements set by Parliamenton detention. The new developmentalso complements similar modernfacilities in Cardiff Bay and will helpto improve the police service providedthroughout South Wales.

Solution:

Fireworks designed and supplied atotal of six modular hose reels to suitthis purpose. The Hydramist systemis very effective as it has been provenduring extensive testing with theMinistry of Justice to successfullysuppress the fire at the first attemptand dramatically reduces thetemperatures in the cell.

Benefits of the system include:

• Fast and effective control andsuppression of fire.

• Easily retro fitted using small borestainless steel pipe.

• Rapid project completion time &accessibly positioned within thecomplex.

Description of solution:

The Hydramist Modular Hose Reel(MHRU2) fire fighting units consist ofspecially designed surface or recessmounted hose reel cabinets locatedin place of the existing standard hosereel cabinets. Each Hydramist MHRU2cabinet will utilise a single integralhigh pressure pump, complete with a35m high pressure hose reel, lance,

and Hydramist prison specificationnozzle (Approved for use by MOJ,SPS and Home office).

Start and stop controls are containedwithin the hose reel cabinet. EachMHRU2 unit has two sets of volt freecontacts that show power healthy andpump running. These can be used tosend a signal to a BMS if required.

The system design and installationwill be designed to NFPA 750recommendations. It will comply withLocal Authority and Supply UtilitiesRules and Regulations. All integralpipe work and fittings will be 316stainless steel.

Approvals Codes followed during thedesign and installation of the system

• NFPA 750

• NFPA 750 2006 edition amendments

• CEN (Draft)

• FIA Code of Practice for Watermistsystems (Draft)

• NOMS STD/M/045155 - 003

The system has undergone testing withMoJ (Ministry of Justice) & BRE (BuildingResearch Establishment) and has beenproven to be effective at suppressingand controlling fires in a cell application.
