Fan Assisted Smoke Venting Systems

Mechanical Smoke Venting Systems (Smoke Control)

In the event of a fire, mechanical smoke venting systems offer the ultimate in smoke control as they remove smoke from the building to aid the occupants’ means of escape and provide clear access for fire fighting services.

Smoke Control Saves Lives

Smoke is the single biggest killer in any building fire, and rapid dispersal via a smoke control system has been proven to save lives. FDS are experts in the design and installation of commercial and residential mechanical smoke venting systems, otherwise known as smoke control systems, that use ducts and fans to remove smoke rather than relying on airflow.

Customised Smoke Control Solutions

We provide a complete smoke control solution for clients including design, supply, installation, commission and maintenance of mechanical smoke venting systems. We work with clients across a wide spectrum of requirements from component parts of individual systems right through to value engineered innovative design and install solutions for large-scale mixed use building projects.

We are a recognised authority in providing smoke control solutions that easily outperform standard code based systems whilst facilitating architectural design,maximising saleable floor area and keeping ongoing maintenance costs to a minimum.
