Ventilation & Extraction

Inhalation of toxic fumes and smoke kills 90% of all fire victims and not the actual fire.  AOV systems are designed to activate on detection of smoke and withdraw the harmful gases and assist the safe escape of occupants through corridors and escape stairs in the event of a fire.

When it comes to AOV’s & Smoke Ventilation systems within both residential and commercial sites, Atech are specialists.

Management companies and committees and the responsible person for fire safety within the premises are responsible for the ensuring statutory inspection & maintenance of smoke ventilation systems.

Our management & maintenance teams can help you put together service logs & testing schedules to ensure you meet this statutory requirement and ensure your building’s system is compliant.

The building occupants’ safety relies on your regular maintenance of the Automatic Opening Ventilation (A.O.V.) system and typically we will schedule six monthly maintenance visits.

If you have any questions about whether your building needs a smoke ventilation system maintenance & inspection regime, please telephone or email us.  We will advise you of what is required & consequently how this can be implemented as quickly and smoothly as possible.

Furthermore if you’ve had actuators fail, vents not open or if your system is indicating any faults we can assist.  Please get in contact with us and we can arrange for an engineer to attend.
