Staircase Pressurisation and Smoke Extraction Systems are crucial components in the Fire Protection regimes serving many modern buildings.

In order that occupants may be evacuated safely and securely during a fire condition, it is essential that the ventilation systems which are designed to keep evacuation paths smoke-free are tested and proven to a high level of performance.

To achieve this aim, air is injected into staircases and fire exit areas to ensure that smoke cannot penetrate the evacuation route, while, elsewhere, extract fans draw smoke-laden air from the building in a controlled manner. Ensuring that the required equipment functions correctly when fire is detected involves the precise measurement and regulation of the crucial airflow rates and pressures which can, quite literally, be the difference between life and death in a major fire situation.

Our staff have a wide range of experience in the Design, Testing and Commissioning of Staircase Pressurisation and Smoke Extraction Systems, gained on major projects in Hong Kong, Europe and the Middle East.

We can engage in the testing activities ourselves, or provide independent, third-party evaluation on systems installed and commissioned by others. Either way, we can help you ensure that the occupants of your building are protected to the highest possible degree.
