Meadowhall took the decision to replace all the steel extinguishers
in the centre with 75 of the P50 foam extinguishers. These service-free
appliances are proving increasingly popular due to their unique
construction. During their 10-year guaranteed life, they never require a
service by a service technician nor a refill after five years. Made
from a composite material, that will not rust or corrode; they only
require an annual inspection which can be undertaken by one of
Meadowhall’s own employees. After ten years they can be refurbished and
used for a further ten years.
"As with all our purchases, we put it out to tender," commented Lee.
"Safelincs impressed us with their knowledge and professionalism. And
there was no hard sell. They carried out a free site survey and gave us a
free quote."
The use of the powerful P50 foam extinguishers, which can be used
safely on electrical equipment (max 1000V and 1m safety distance), has
reduced the number of extinguishers in the centre by about 40%. The foam
P50 extinguisher is versatile and can be used on all the likely types
of fire that would be found in a retail environment.
The massive cost savings brought about by not requiring external
engineer servicing and by reducing the number of extinguishers was not
Lee’s only consideration, though.
"Security continues to be a major factor at Meadowhall," he said.
"Being able to maintain these in house enables us to reduce the number
of external contractors we need to allow on to site into restricted
areas."
