Newham University Hospital’s advanced fire safety system increases safety measures

M&G Fire Protection played a crucial role in the installation, leveraging Advanced solutions, known for their versatile multi-protocol switching capabilities and intuitive cause-and-effect configuration.

Steve Middleton, Director of M&G Fire Protection, said: “We opted for advanced panels because of their flexible cause-and-effect configuration, which makes setup, testing and maintenance easy.

The intuitive display makes the panels very easy to use, and the integration with external services via the BMS card is simple and extremely beneficial.”

Despite the many challenges, M&G adopted a phased approach to minimize downtime and maintain system functionality throughout the upgrade.
