Debunking myths about smoke protection and pressure differential systems (PDS) in buildings — video
It’s time to debunk the myths about the pressure differential system. When should industry professionals consider implementing a pressure differential system? How should they implement one? Why should they take a systems approach? These are just some of the many questions we asked David Fitzpatrick, General Manager UK at SMAY.
The key role of pressure differential systems in ensuring fire safety in high-rise buildings
Fire safety and ensuring effective and quick evacuation in the event of a fire hazard should be a priority for every building. In high-rise buildings, the matter can seem more difficult – multiple floors, long staircases and more premises in a given tower can be a challenge.
In our conversation with David Fitzpatrick, we delved into the intricacies of pressure differential systems, dispelling misconceptions and underlining their pivotal role in bolstering the safety of high-rise structures. These insights are of utmost importance for all stakeholders in the building projects arena to ponder upon.
