Sensetech Systems have employed by Mace to Design, Supply, install and commission an Integrated Fire Detection and Smoke Ventilation System.

Chelsea Barracks sees the establishment of a unique Belgravia neighbourhood that pays tribute to London’s architectural heritage. This world class master plan comprises a rare collection of apartments, penthouses and townhouses woven naturally within 12.8 acres of traditional garden squares and complemented by an unparalleled array of amenities including restaurants, retail outlets and a state-of-the-art spa.

The master plan concept for Chelsea Barracks merges this old military site in Chelsea with the surrounding Belgravia neighbourhood through a modern and vivid residential area, which combines houses with additional apartment buildings, as well as local shops and community facilities.

Designed to redefine luxury living in the heart of London, Chelsea Barracks celebrates British heritage and craftsmanship, whilst creating a legacy for the future generations to come. It is marked to become London’s most sought after neighbourhood, including a street plan reminiscent of Georgian London with garden squares and a balance between building height and the surrounding architecture.

Sensetech are installing a Large Networked Fire and Smoke Damper System with over 700 dampers and 25 Fire control panels. The system is designed to expand, as the site will be extended into 4 further phases.

The Landlords system is connected to 75 conventional control panels in apartments and 13 addressable panels in Town Houses (see typical schematics added below).

Key to the scheme is the integrated smoke detection and smoke ventilation system. Sensetech are providing all power and controls for over 700 dampers. The lower floors of the site, cover nearly 5 acres including parking and store rooms for the apartment owners. There are high level finishes and inconspicuous installation which adds to the complex nature of the project.

We are also installing the same system within a High Quality Spa and fitness facility. This space has over 200 different floor and ceiling finishes. We have utilised aspirating systems for these spaces.

We provided the following systems and Manufacturers across the site;
  • Gents– Detection
  • Aspirating – Xtralis
  • Linear Heat - Eurofyre
  • Smoke Ventilation System – Actionair
  • Disabled Refuge – Vox Ignis
