Greggs Bakeries

Greggs are the leading commercial bakers in the UK with over 1000 high street stores throughout the country.

These stores are supplied with thousands of cakes, buns, sandwiches and doughnuts produced each week by a network of ten large, strategically placed factories.

FIREWORKS Fire Protection Ltd designed, supplied, installed and maintains High Pressure Water Mist Systems that not only protect the doughnut fryers but also give periphery protection around each fryer canopy to segregate the risk from the main factory in the event of a fire.

These bespoke systems were designed to suit both Greggs and their insurers and were the result of extensive live fire testing to ensure that the safest and most effective system was provided.

P&O Ferries Dover

FIREWORKS Fire Protection Ltd won the contract to design, supply and install local application systems for the Dover fleet of eight ships. Using High Pressure Water Mist Fireworks designed 150ltr and 200ltr per minute high pressure pump sets with distribution piping and nozzles protecting all diesel units, purifiers and boiler fronts.

The systems are all manually controlled from remote control panels located in the Engine Control Rooms on each vessel. Since installation the systems have been used several times to successfully control and extinguish various oil fed fires within the machinery spaces.

Stena Line UK

Stena required an alternative to Halon, to provide main machinery space protection for their Harwich based fleet. In addition new IMO & SOLAS rules meant that water based local application systems were also required.

FIREWORKS designed and installed a combined High Pressure Water Mist system for each vessel using a common pump unit to provide both total machinery protection and local application.

The systems are all manually controlled from either the pump unit or the Engine Control Room and have connections to both stored fresh water and sea water giving an unlimited duration for discharge.

Halifax Bank of Scotland

HBoS’s headquarters on The Mound in Edinburgh underwent an extensive redevelopment and modernisation programme to give a headquarters of the highest standard possible.

FIREWORKS designed and installed a High Pressure Water mist system to protect sensitive areas within the building. The system was chosen as it was demonstrated to be the most effective system for fire suppression in this environment. The low volumes of water that would be used if a discharge occurred meant a low risk of causing water damage.

The building itself features stone walls, many feet thick, and tested FIREWORKS engineering skills during installation as the pump unit had to be located in the lower basement and the protection required was on the third floor.

Marriott Hotel, Regents Park London

The hotel consists of a common ground floor on top of which are 3 bedroom blocks totalling 18 floors.

FIREWORKS installed a High Pressure Water Mist system throughout the hotel covering every area from bedrooms, hallways, and plant rooms to kitchens.

The low volume of water and small bore piping used, made this system an ideal choice allowing the discreet installation into an existing building without the use of false ceilings and visible piping.

The system comprised over 2000 nozzles all fed from an electric driven pump set with diesel back up located in the hotel’s underground car park.
