Evolution, the integrated international fire and security systems business, has launched a new dedicated Life Safety Systems division to provide a range of specialist services and solutions to new and existing clients.

The new division will build on the company’s 26 years’ experience, expertise and success of its fire safety systems team, to deliver a range of new services and technologies to accommodate a broader portfolio of environments and risk.

Services include the design, installation and maintenance of critical safety systems including sprinklers, fire hydrants, automatic opening vents (AOVs) and gas suppression systems, as well as the provision of portable extinguishers.

It will also design and deliver Disabled Refuge solutions and Public Address/Voice Alarm (PA/VA) technologies in scenarios where the safe evacuation of large numbers of employees, residents, patients or guests (e.g in hospitals and hotels) is key.

The Life Safety Systems division will also provide new technical services including fire risk assessments and strategic risk assessments, as well as ongoing inspections and repairs of fire door systems and passive fire protection services.

Sam Burgess, Fire and Life Safety Systems Account Manager at Evolution says its experience and knowledge of life safety and critical systems is recognised throughout the industry.

Burgess added: “Building on our extensive expertise of fire systems, there was a clear logic in extending our services into the wider Life Safety Systems environment.

“It means we can now provide new and existing clients with an expanded portfolio of services that help to ensure protection of people, property and assets, as well as supporting compliance.”
