Both Wales and Scotland are streets ahead in terms of fire safety in buildings…and maybe England still has a way to go. In July, the Scottish government published stricter fire safety provisions for high-rise and buildings for the vulnerable which …

Jockey pumps are an important part of a fire sprinkler system. Basically they are small pumps connected to a fire protection piping system with the aim to maintain uniform or artificially high pressure in the pipes. If a fire sprinkler is activated, there will be a pressure drop that will be sensed by the pump’s automatic controller. This will cause …
Air compressors have several applications, especially in the industrial sector. Basically, their task is to convert power into pressurised air that is then ready for use. We use air compressors for different purposes like, for instance, providing pressurised air for driving pneumatic HVAC control system valves in some buildings, we use them for paint spraying or for supplying large-scale industrial …
Did you know there are 45,000 fires each year only in residential buildings in the UK?

Duplex air compressor systems are one of the most popular units that we offer. They have a dual compressor layout which reacts differently according to the situation, allowing it to operate either one compressor at a time, alternate between the two or operate both simultaneously. Therefore, if your sprinkler system requires resilience or backup in case of failure and/or additional capacity in the absence of …
