Scutum UK have a proven track record in delivering leading solutions for some of the UK’s most prestigious educational institutions. Our innovative fire detection, suppression and security solutions ensure that property is protected and that students and staff experience a safe and secure working environment.

A lecture theatre often contains a large number of occupants within a small space. In the event of an emergency it is critical that emergency lighting provides a clear and obvious means of escape to ensure an orderly and safe evacuation. Should a fire break out, smoke point detectors can activate a sprinkler system while occupants escape.

University libraries can be some of the most prestigious parts of Universities, containing unique or valuable irreplaceable documents. Should a fire break out it can be extinguished by flooding the room with an inert gas suppression agent on each floor level, preventing the fire without harming the escaping occupants of the room or damaging any documents. Pressure venting prevents over pressure of the room, should the suppression system activate. Security is provided by CCTV, emergency lighting and access control to the room.

University laboratories can contain fume cabinets and ventilated enclosures, containing hazardous, flammable or volatile materials. These can be protected with a specialised automatic fire suppression system. Labs can be secured with access control and CCTV systems and the majority of the lab can be protected with standard smoke point detectors and sprinkler systems. Occupants can safely escape thorough clearly marked doors with emergency exit signs. High value assets can be protected with tracking tags, providing real-time location awareness. If an asset’s position changes, or the tag is tampered with, an alarm can be activated.

Student halls or accommodation can be protected with standard smoke point detectors, hand held extinguishers, fire blankets and emergency exit signs. Should a fire break out, the multi-tenant system ensures that all alarms are interconnected and activate in all apartments within the entire building, requiring all occupants to evacuate and await the fire department, to reset the system and confirm the building is safe to enter.

Back up generators can be secured with access control and CCTV and protected, in the event of a fire, with a range of flame detectors and water mist suppression, using fine water droplets to extinguish the fire, rather than heavier streams of water. This leads to a larger surface area and a more effective absorption of heat.

Site perimeters and critical infrastructure housed on the exterior of a building, such as a high voltage electrical transformer that may be dangerous to the public, can be protected with InfraRed or thermal CCTV, perimeter fencing and perimeter sensors, detecting attempts to cut, climb or otherwise break through the fence.

Parking areas can be secured by using a variety of CCTV, gating and automated bollard systems, including the use of RFID tags for employees or campus staff, while ANPR cameras record entry and exit times for all vehicles. Lithium ion extinguishers and high temperature fire blankets can be provided at vehicle charging bays, for use in the event of an electric vehicle fire. Depending on the security required, heavier bollards can be installed, capable of stopping large vehicles travelling at speed.

Offices or computing labs can be protected with standard smoke point detectors and secured with CCTV and access control. If a fire breaks out a sprinkler system can be activated while occupants escape thorough clearly marked doors with emergency exit signs. Data can be held on servers in a separate data hall to ensure that no data is lost in the event that equipment is damaged within the office itself. High value assets can be protected with tracking tags, providing real-time location awareness. If an asset’s position changes, or the tag is tampered with, an alarm can be activated.

Data halls or server rooms can be protected from fire with the use of very early smoke detection apparatus or VESDA system. Fires can be extinguished by flooding the room with an inert gas suppression agent from both above and below, suppressing the fire without harming occupants or damaging any equipment. Pressure venting prevents over pressure of the room should the suppression system activate. CCTV provides security and access control can secure entry to the room, as well as each server row, and each individual rack. Individual server racks can be protected with a condensed aerosol suppression system, that can extinguish fire locally within the rack, without the need to flood the entire room with a suppression agent.
