Kentec welcomed at M3 motorway services
12 Oct 2017
A Kentec fire control panel is helping protect new temporary buildings at Welcome Break’s M3 southbound Fleet Services on the Surrey/Hampshire border, erected following a devastating fire in December 2016 that almost completely destroyed the former services building.
At its height, more than 100 firefighters from across the
Hampshire/Surrey border fought to bring the flames under control. The M3
was closed in both directions for a short while and the southbound
services were entirely closed until early January.
The new, temporary building, erected in the truck park to provide full
facilities whilst the new permanent building is completed, houses a full
range of outlets including Starbucks, a little Waitrose, Burger King, Harry Ramsden and WH Smith.
A new fire safety system, comprising a Kentec Syncro AS 16 Zone Control Panel with Apollo devices, now protects the new structure, while the new permanent building is completed.
Kentec’s flagship ‘open protocol’ Syncro series, recognized as one of
the most powerful systems of its type on the market today, guarantees
the very highest standards of performance, safety and reliability.
Kentec’s Syncro series of fire control panels uses the most
advanced microprocessor technology to provide a control system of
extremely high integrity. Syncro can be configured to suit all types of
system from the most simple to the highly complex. Its fully integrated
and secure network provides an intelligent interface for building
control.
Kentec’s flagship ‘open protocol’ Syncro fire control panels protect Welcome Break’s Fleet Services on the southbound M3 motorway.
