Originally constructed as two separate residential properties, 1 and 2 Craigmillar Castle Road, Edinburgh were later converted into a GP surgery and operated as such for many years. With the premises now back in the ownership of Castle Rock Edinvar Housing Association, work has been carried out to turn the former surgery into new commercial premises, and products from ESP and Ovia have being installed to provide lighting, emergency lighting and fire safety solutions.<\/p>\n
ESP\u2019s recently launched MAGDUO Two-Wire Fire Alarm System was selected as it offered a highly flexible and adaptable system that saved valuable time and money on the installation process.<\/p>\n
Unlike standard conventional four wired systems where the detectors, call points and alarm devices for each zone are wired on separate circuits, MAGDUO utilises intelligent Two-Wire technology, which allows all devices to be wired on the same set of two-core zone cables back to the control panel – enabling it to use a single circuit per zone both for detection and to power the sounders. This can reduce both installation and material costs.<\/p>\n
The products used were the MAGDUO 4-Zone Fire Panel along with heat and smoke detectors and manual call points. Lighting products from ESP\u2019s Duceri emergency lighting range have also been installed. These include LED 2W maintained exit sign legends and LED 3W maintained emergency signs.<\/p>\n
For general lighting solutions to cover smaller rooms, corridors and storage areas, the popular Ovia Inceptor EVO LED bulkheads were the preferred choice, with the emergency variant being utilised on escape routes and corridors.<\/p>\n
The Inceptor EVO Bulkhead is quick to install and simple to use. As well as integrating the control gear and the light source within the di\ufb00user, the bulkhead has the added bene\ufb01t of a Flow plug which allows for fast and simple connection and disconnection for testing and maintenance of the luminaire.<\/p>\n
Ovia has taken away the need for timeconsuming and unnecessary screws and integrated the control gear and light source within the di\ufb00user and added a Flow connector. The installer, therefore, simply removes the di\ufb00user, \ufb01ts the base to the wall\/ceiling, wires the conductor into the \ufb02ow connector and secures the di\ufb00user in place.<\/p>\n
Alec Macindoe, works manager, commented: \u201cIt was an easy decision to make when we were given the opportunity to quote for this work and deliver it with our in-house labour. The next decision was which products to use. We have a great relationship with Scolmore Group and when one company can cover all aspects of the project from design, speci\ufb01cation, technical support and all at a very competitive price, then that made the decision easy for me.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
