Enclosures boost safety
January 1st 2008

Troax UK has upgraded fire safety at the Livingston distribution centre of M&S Toiletries by installing a 6m high, custom-designed wire mesh enclosure to store aerosols and other flammable or volatile products.

The enclosure extends into the roof space and is constructed using Troax's Caelum industrial partitioning. It has a mesh aperture of 25 by 25mm to ensure that volatile aerosol cans can be stored safely, preventing the escape of shards in the event of an explosion and so containing any subsequent fire.

Smoke and heat can filter through the enclosure to trigger smoke detection systems, and the wire mesh allows penetration of sprinklers.

Three bi-parting, selfclosing doors have also been installed.
