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. More articles from Troax (UK) Limited: |
