Smoke Ventilation Systems for Data Centres
At Delta Smoke Control, we design and build smoke control and smoke ventilation systems that effectively remove smoke from data centres during a fire. These are life-saving solutions that meet all related standards and regulations.
Smoke ventilation systems for data centres help safeguard the lives of occupants and ensure business continuity, preserve property, and comply with applicable regulations.

Just like in any other building, the safety of occupants is paramount in a data centre. In the event of a fire, smoke inhalation can be a significant risk to the health and well-being of employees and visitors. Implementing effective smoke ventilation systems helps limit the spread of smoke, allowing people to evacuate safely and providing more time for emergency responders to conduct rescue operations.
PPM (Planned Preventive Maintenance) is a scheduled, proactive programme of routine inspections, servicing, and testing. It’s designed to:
Prevent equipment failure by identifying wear and tear early.
Ensure systems, like fire dampers, are functioning correctly and reliably.
Maintain compliance with legal and standards-based requirements like BS 9999.
Data centres often store valuable technical equipment and, of course, house critical data storage and infrastructure. Smoke can cause significant damage to this equipment and, therefore, stored data, causing financial loss. Smoke control systems help contain smoke to the area of origin, reducing the extent of damage caused.
Fires and the resulting smoke can severely disrupt operations in a data centre. Effective smoke ventilation systems help minimise the impact on the facility, whilst helping protect the health of the team, allowing operations to resume more rapidly.
Smoke can have detrimental effects on the structural integrity of a building and its contents. It can corrode equipment and compromise infrastructure. By implementing proper smoke control systems for data centres, the extent of smoke damage can be reduced, thereby protecting the property and your assets.

Expert Smoke Control Solutions for Data Centre Compliance & Safety
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (RRO) places the legal responsibility for fire safety squarely on the Data Centre operator or Facilities Manager. For mission-critical environments, robust smoke control is not just a compliance issue—it’s essential for business continuity, asset protection, and life safety. Delta Smoke Control provides the certified expertise and end-to-end services required to meet the stringent demands of the data centre sector.
The Compliance Challenge: Your Responsibility Under the RRO
The RRO applies to all non-domestic premises, including data centres. As the ‘Responsible Person,’ you must ensure adequate fire safety measures, which includes properly functioning smoke control systems. Navigating the specific statutory guidance for data centres requires a specialist partner who understands the unique risks and architectural complexities of these facilities.
