Our Approach

Project Overview

The Boat House apartments and the refurbishment of the historic Purifier House, a Grade ll listed building which was an old gasworks, form part of the redevelopment of Bristol Harbour.

Following a recent fire risk assessment, it was clear the wooden-clad apartment building could easily combust in the event of a fire. Adept Fire & Security was tasked to design, supply, install and commission a new wireless fire alarm and detection system in the block of 10 waterfront apartments.

Adept partnered with Eurotech Fire Systems Ltd to provide the best solution for this unique building. With Eurotech’s assistance, a radio integrity test was completed prior to the system installation. This ensured that the correct infrastructure device quantities and locations were identified.

The Evotech AS by Eurotech Lite addressable control panel was selected alongside Euro-fi heat detection and wall sounders as the most suitable system for this installation.

“Eurotech is the complete fire system provider and assist us in every way possible – from surveys and programming to technical support and spares. As a partner, Eurotech really does tick every box.”

Our Solution

Versatile Fire Panel Technology

Evotech AS by Eurotech is a versatile range of open protocol fire alarm panels. Available with one or two detection loops capable of hosting up to 240 Eurotech devices, the Evotech AS range uses leading-edge microprocessor-based electronics to provide a flexible control system with high reliability and integrity.

With its large graphic display and ergonomic button and indicator layout, the Evotech AS control panel is simple and straightforward to understand for installers, commissioning engineers and end-users alike.

Euro-fi by Eurotech is a complete range of fully addressable, wireless detectors, call points, sounders, and modules communicating through a sophisticated wireless protocol providing high reliability and rapid installation. Euro-fi by Eurotech offers a convenient and reliable method of economically extending existing or new hardwired intelligent fire detection systems, particularly into areas of high architectural sensitivity or where access is restricted.

Quality Control

Quality control checks are vital to check the system’s functionality and operation.

  • All devices were 100% bench-tested in the factory before delivery.
  • All devices were pre-programmed by Eurotech prior to delivery to the site. This enabled Adept’s engineers to simply install the infrastructure and field devices, saving time on-site whilst installing and commissioning the fire safety system.
  • The communal area on the building was not enclosed, so an IP-rated enclosure was required to protect the CIE.

Summary

Adept successfully designed, installed and commissioned a state-of-the-art wireless fire detection and alarm system at The Boat House in Bristol. By installing Euro-fi by Eurotech wireless detection that was pre-programmed by Eurotech prior to installation significantly sped up the installation process minimising disruption to existing residents.

Chris Hennessey, Managing Director at Adept says: “We have been in partnership with Eurotech now for just under a year. Eurotech is the complete fire system provider and assist us in every way possible – from surveys and programming to technical support and spares. As a partner, Eurotech really does tick every box.”

Robert Quinn, Regional Sales Manager at Eurotech says: “We’re pleased yet another installation by Adept went smoothly and without issue. Our Euro-fi by Eurotech detection range was the perfect solution for this type of installation, ensuring fast installation. The Adept team was a pleasure to work alongside on this installation and we look forward to our continuing partnership on future projects.”
