Expert Smoke Ventilation Maintenance at Magna Park

Delta carried out smoke ventilation maintenance, upgrades, and repairs at a busy distribution centre.

Delta provided an expert smoke ventilation maintenance and repair service at Magna Park in Lutterworth. The smoke vent system needed upgrades and repairs to an existing smoke control installation from the mid-90’s.

Challenge

Repairing and upgrading smoke control systems in a large distribution warehouse full of equipment and stock will always have some challenges. Minimising disruption for the client is a high priority in a busy operational setting full of equipment, stock and staff members.

Project

Delta Smoke Control worked on a project at Manga Park taking on full Principle Contractor duties and coordinated the Construction Phase plan and managed all H&S aspects of the project.

Location

Magna Park , Lutterworth, LE17 4XN

Goal

To upgrade and repair an original 30-year-old Delta installation whilst minimising disruption to a busy distribution centre.

Smoke Ventilation System Maintenance and Repairs

Smoke ventilation maintenance is critical at every distribution centre to ensure the safety of employees, equipment, and stock in the event of a fire. The centre handles valuable equipment, and in the event of a fire, effective smoke ventilation systems help to quickly remove smoke and heat, improving visibility for safe evacuation and reducing damage to goods. Effective smoke ventilation also helps maintain structural integrity by preventing excessive heat build-up. In a facility as large as Magna Park, where rapid logistics operations occur, such systems are essential for minimising risks, ensuring regulatory compliance, and protecting people and assets.

Our experienced team replaced the dedicated smoke control air compressor and surveyed and repaired the fixed smoke curtains. The work also included upgrading pneumatic cylinders to 54 No vents, replacing the control panels and rain sensing system, and integrating with the BMS and fire alarm systems. On completion of the works, the system was recommissioned and handed over to the on-site maintenance team. The smoke vent maintenance, upgrades, and repairs will prolong the operational life of the existing smoke control system, saving time and money in the long run.
