Long Meadow Primary School in Milton Keynes has taken a major step forward in ensuring the safety of its students and staff with a comprehensive upgrade to its fire safety system.
Managed and executed by Swift Fire & Safety, the project included the successful installation of a state-of-the-art Advanced MxPro 5 single loop panel (large enclosure), along with a variety of other fire safety enhancements.
Long Meadow Primary School serves a vibrant community and required a reliable and robust fire safety solution to replace its previous, obsolete system. The new installation covers all areas of the school, including classrooms, corridors, offices, plant rooms, storerooms, kitchen, and the main hall.
The project featured the integration of a remote signalling and roll call system to enhance overall safety and communication during emergencies. Additionally, an external sounder was installed for playing field notification, programmed to silence after 30 minutes, in compliance with BS5839-1. This feature was easily programmed using the Advanced configuration tool, demonstrating the system’s superb flexibility and user-friendliness.
Ed Hunt, Project Manager at Swift Fire & Safety, commented on the project: “For this project, Advanced was the logical replacement for the existing panel which was obsolete and for which there was very limited support. With its versatility and being both user and engineer friendly, Advanced was an obvious choice.”
Salvy Vittozzi, Regional Sales Manager for the South East, added: “We’re proud to provide Long Meadow Primary School with a state-of-the-art fire safety solution. The MxPro 5’s adaptability and ease of use ensure that the school is equipped with a reliable system that enhances the safety of everyone in the building.”
The successful upgrade at Long Meadow Primary School highlights Advanced’s commitment to providing cutting-edge fire safety solutions that are both reliable and adaptable, ensuring the highest levels of protection for educational facilities.
