Plymouth Case Study

29 Mar 2022

The 32 apartment St Chad’s residential building in Plymouth is now free of waking watch patrols after an internal and external Intelliclad installation. While building owners await funding and action to remove and replace dangerous cladding, Intelliclad is making residents safer thanks to its leading technology.

 

External fires account for 60% of all high-rise building fires over the last decade, so this installation is crucial in ensuring that the residents at St Chad’s are alerted in good time if such a situation arises.

The internal installation, supported by implementation of Intelliclad’s internal fire alarm system means the fire safety system at St Chad’s conforms with BS 5839-1 L5 guidance and the need for waking watch patrols has been removed. Darron Brough, Intelliclad’s Managing Director, said:

“Years of hard work and experience has gone into creating Intelliclad and this installation signals the start of a new era of building safety. “The scope of this tragic scandal is becoming more and more concerning each day. We are proud to be able to play a small part in making people feel more safe in their homes as they await cladding remediation - we need the support of those in power to be able to do this on the scale necessary to facilitate real change.”
