Grade D fire alarm design development, certification and compliance support for a large high-rise apartments complex.

Our scope of services

CD Engineering Services as the appointed electrical subcontractor to Wates held design responsibility for the Grade D fire detection & fire alarm systems within each of the 186 apartments, spanning across 34 floors.

Our appointment involved the correction of the consultant produced RIBA Stage 3 design into a fully compliant RIBA Stage 4 design, inclusive of full coordination within each apartment type, resulting in detailed design drawings, schematic and the production of a detailed technical submittal taking the form of our System Overview document to obtain approval by all relevant parties.

Each dwelling was fully certificated for design to BS 5839-6. As CD Engineering are subscribers of our Compliance Membership, they have access to compliance checklists for the installation and commissioning of the systems to aid a compliant installation, as well as using the BS 5839-6 certificate they have access to through the compliance portal.

Rely on Fire Check also supplied a Home Occupiers Guide for each dwelling along with the fire alarm system circuit compliance warning labels.

As a distributor of FireAngel products, we supplied all of the smoke and heat alarms and low level controllers for the project.

CD Engineering also purchased the Detector Testers Grade D system test kit from Rely on Fire Check thus enabling them to test and commission each system in accordance with BS 5839-6 and manufacturer’s recommendations.
