Industry-leading MxPro 5 fire panels from global systems leader, Advanced, have been installed at Wexham Park Hospital as part of a major upgrade to the hospital’s fire system.
Wexham Park Hospital is a large acute NHS hospital situated
near Slough in Berkshire. The 588-bed hospital is one of three managed by
Frimley Health NHS Foundation trust, one of the top performing NHS trusts in
the UK. As well as the main hospital building, the site has a large post graduate
building, ambulance station, staff accommodation and a new £49million, state-of-the-art,
four-storey Emergency Assessment Centre.
Responsible for the design, supply, installation, testing
and commissioning of the system was Advanced’s partner, Static Systems Group,
who install Advanced under their brand name Evo2. Static Systems completed the site-wide
upgrade with 20 networked, MxPro 5 panels, 18 MxPro 5 repeater panels and 2000
Apollo field devices throughout a number of hospital buildings and departments including
Intensive Care, Sterile Services, Radiology and its new 9,300 sq-metre Emergency
Assessment Centre.
Alex Southall, Proposals Manager at Static Systems, said: “We
pride ourselves on our skills and expertise in working in challenging, live
healthcare settings – it’s where we excel. We specified Advanced on this
project thanks to the MxPro’s second-to-none networking capabilities, flexible multiprotocol
platform and user-friendly interface. This enabled Static Systems to deliver a seamless
installation with minimal disruption to the everyday workings of the clinical
teams.”
MxPro 5 is the fire
industry’s leading multiprotocol fire system solution and was recently certified
by FM Approvals to the EN 54 standard. It offers customers a choice of two
panel ranges, four detector protocols and a completely open installer network,
backed up by free training and support. MxPro panels can be used in single
loop, single panel format or easily configured into high speed, multi-loop
panels in 200 node networks covering huge areas. MxPro’s legendary ease of
installation and configuration and wide peripheral range make it customisable
to almost any application.
Phil Calvey, Sales Manager for the South West, said: “We
are proud to be specified in countless hospitals and care facilities across the
World. As one of the latest NHS hospitals to be protected by Advanced panels it
was a pleasure to be able to meet Static Systems’ needs on the fire system
upgrade at Wexham Park Hospital.”

for protecting hospitals throughout the UK and Republic of Ireland including;
