MAKING HOTEL FIRE SAFE

System Hygienics recently won a fire service tender for the Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park, a luxury five-star hotel in prestigious Knightsbridge, London. The contract involved locating and checking all the hotel's fire dampers to make sure they were within the fire containment area.

System Hygienics located 60 fire dampers in total in various areas of the hotel, including the bedrooms, kitchens, function rooms, gymnasium, spa and restaurant area. The fire dampers were then cleaned, lubricated, drop-tested and reset to ensure they were in good working order.

In some instances, simple faults, such as damaged linkages, are also detected; these are easily rectified but must be logged to meet fire safety regulations.

Darren Moakes, Chief Engineer at the Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park, commented: "System Hygienics worked professionally and efficiently and provided us with a detailed report highlighting all aspects of the survey. They offered a flexible service, completing all the testing over four nights to alleviate any disruption to staff and guests."
