Protect your people and property from fire
In schools and educational establishments, there is an ever-present threat of fire. Large numbers of students and teachers, routinely moving to different areas, need to be protected at all times by effective fire detection and suppression systems, which works alongside clear and well-maintained evacuation routes and muster processes.
Each classroom, office, and social space requires its own specific fire detection and alarm system, combined with a fire sprinkler system with enough coverage to protect the large and often disconnected spread of individuals. Portable fire extinguishers also play an important role in maintaining fire safety in education buildings, as well as kitchen fire suppression systems for catering spaces and gas suppression systems for server rooms.
Vipond provides all of these systems, and can determine the precise specification based on the layout of the buildings and the number of people attending site every day.
We also provide planned preventative maintenance (PPM) and inspections to help schools, colleges, and universities meet their legal regulatory obligations.
As education sites are often repurposed, we provide alteration services to bring fire safety systems up-to-date and able to maintain their protective capabilities.
We also offer a 24-hour emergency call-out service if a false alarm occurs, a leak is sprung, or the system becomes depressurised.
When it comes to the safety of your staff and students, you can’t afford to take risks of cut corners. To find out how our fire detection and suppression solutions can keep your buildings protected, contact our experts today.
Comprehensive fire safety and security solutions for education campuses
Unfortunately, schools, colleges, and universities are regularly subject to security breaches. Unauthorised individuals entering the site could lead to terrible consequences, and outside of school hours, there is a constant threat of vandalism or arson.
As part of Chubb Fire and Security Ltd., Vipond can help protect staff and students with comprehensive, integrated security solutions that are remotely monitored by a national alarm receiving centre connected to the emergency services. With our partners at Chubb, we can install biometric and smartcard access control systems, CCTV surveillance cameras, intruder alarms, intercoms and vehicle barriers, remote 24/7 monitoring, and site security management software.
