Orbit Group<\/a> first commissioned approved Automist installer Firemist<\/a> to retrofit Plumis<\/a>\u2019 watermist fire suppression system at a basement flat in Leamington Spa following the recommendations of a person-centred fire risk assessment<\/h2>\n

The resident living in the flat was no longer able to easily move around or leave their home without support as a result of deteriorating health issues. While waiting for an adapted home to become available, Orbit wanted to ensure measures were in place to mitigate fire risk.<\/p>\n

Having previously completed a CPD session about using Automist to meet Building Regulations,<\/a> Orbit was familiar with the innovative sprinkler alternative<\/a> and the benefits it offers with regards to increasing tenability and reducing the accumulation of toxic gases \u2013 the biggest killer in domestic fires.<\/p>\n

Given the resident\u2019s circumstances and limited mobility, this feature was particularly important to the housing provider as it would give the resident as much time as possible to escape or be rescued in the event of a fire.<\/p>\n

Approaches to fire safety\"\"<\/h3>\n

Selecting a fire safety system to mitigate fire risk that could be easily retrofitted, causing minimal disruption while the resident remained in the property, was also a key consideration.<\/p>\n

Automist fire suppression<\/a> engineer and founder of Firemist, Russell Faulkner, said: \u201cWe\u2019re always able to work any installation around residents and their needs, and as with most Automist installs, there was no need for a tank or water supply upgrade to complete this particular project.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe system\u2019s targeted watermist spray offers 6m range for volume protection. For this resident\u2019s home, we installed three wall-mounted sprayheads, using trunking to conceal the system\u2019s flexible hoses, each connected to a small pump that is stored in a storage cupboard located in the kitchen, to provide optimum protection.\u201d<\/p>\n

Following the success of the pilot installation, Orbit identified another fire safety project at one of its retirement living schemes in Kent.<\/p>\n

An advantage of installing Automist is that the system can be installed on a flat-by-flat basis \u2013 enabling social landlords to prioritise works based on the individual needs of its residents and fire safety requirements.<\/p>\n

For this particular project, it was identified that due to the fabric of the building, Orbit needed to improve fire protection across the scheme\u2019s first floor in conjunction with the building fire strategy.<\/p>\n

Near the end of the project, a resident living on the ground floor was identified as being at risk of fatality or injury in the event of a fire and so an additional installation was carried out in this particular flat to increase protection.<\/p>\n

\"\"Resident engagement in fire safety<\/h3>\n

Comprising a total of 30 flats, 17 required the installation of additional fire suppression.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the installation, Orbit carried out several engagement exercises to ensure everyone understood exactly why the system had been chosen, how the system worked and would look once installed.<\/p>\n

\u201cBefore instructing the installation, it was really important to us that we did all we could to directly communicate with as many of our residents as possible, including those not necessarily having the system installed,\u201d said Kelly Lee, building safety lead at Orbit.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn addition to visiting each resident in their home to provide information about the system and proactively answer any questions they had, we also arranged a session with Plumis and its demo van so that people could see exactly what happens when the system is activated.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a really positive session and many were surprised at the reduced consequential water damage caused by the system in the event of an activation in comparison to sprinklers. This seemed to be a real selling point as for many of our older residents, their possessions are timeless and sentimental in value.\u201d<\/p>\n

Outcome of the fire suppression system<\/h3>\n

Automist has been installed in a total of 18 Orbit homes to date (including the pilot installation). When asked, as part of a resident feedback survey undertaken by Orbit, 91% rated the installers who worked in their property as great or excellent, with nearly two-thirds saying the installation process was less disruptive than expected.<\/p>\n

The fire safety works has also been recognised in the 2022 Fire & Security Matters Awards and shortlisted for fire safety project of the year.<\/p>\n

The announcement comes just months after the fire suppression specialist\u2019s recent success with Swindon Borough Council.<\/p>\n

Plumis was awarded Active\/Passive Fire Project of the Year category at the Security & Fire Excellence Awards in November, following its project to increase fire risk protection<\/a> for two of the council\u2019s vulnerable residents.<\/p>\n
