Fast expanding security and fire systems installer Amax Security has helped the Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology to adapt its fire protection system, as part of the Institute’s significant reorganisation and updating of its facilities in Hammersmith, west London. The move, overseen by Building Manager Les Payne, has significantly improved operational efficiency within the Institute, which carries out valuable work in researching and developing cures for rheumatic diseases.
Amax, which offers a flexible one-stop service to residential and commercial customers, has worked with Les and his team to supply and maintain fire extinguishers in place of the fire sprinkler system and hose reels previously used throughout the 4000ft² building.
Les explains that areas within the Institute’s building, previously used for purposes including storage and as linen rooms used to require a sprinkler system for fire protection. But their conversion for uses such as a microscope room, IT hardware and
communications equipment operation meant a different approach was needed. The release of water could cause costly damage to such equipment, while in other areas such as the lower ground floor, where chest freezer cabinets are kept, it might also harm 20 years’ worth of refrigerated laboratory samples. Having consulted the Institute’s insurers, as well as Hammersmith & Fulham Fire Brigade, Les called in Amax to implement a new strategy. |

| It’s been a steep learning curve for Will, who joined Amax just one year after it was formed in 1994 by Prad Mehta – who’s also stepped up, becoming Chairman of the company. These moves will help them provide a more wide-ranging, quality service based on advantages including Amax’s independent NACOSS Gold approval from the National Security Inspectorate, the UK’s leading certification body. |
