Advanced’s Fire Protection Installed in the Heart of Aldershot

The newly revitalised Union Yard development in Aldershot now boasts a cutting-edge Advanced MxPro 5 fire safety system, expertly installed by Integrated Fire Safety Systems Ltd to provide robust protection for this scheme in the heart of Aldershot town centre.

The Union Yard development in Aldershot is a transformative project that has revamped a key area of the town centre, establishing a vibrant, mixed-use environment with high-quality retail, leisure, culture, employment, and housing offerings. The development, which spans seven floors from lower ground to the fifth floor, includes 82 private apartments, 18 affordable rent apartments, 128 studio units for UCA student accommodation, 13 commercial units, lower ground-level parking, and a landscaped public realm.

To ensure the safety of residents, students, and visitors, the development has been equipped with a comprehensive fire safety system, expertly designed and installed by Integrated Fire Safety Systems Ltd (IFSS). The project included the installation of an Advanced MxPro 5 fire panel, which provides robust fire detection and alarm coverage for the common corridors throughout the complex.

Iain Clenaghan, Commercial Manager at IFSS, highlighted the importance of the integration, saying, “The complexity of this project required a fire safety solution that could seamlessly integrate with various systems while providing reliable protection across the development. The Advanced MxPro 5 panel was the ideal choice for its versatility and ease of integration, allowing us to deliver a comprehensive fire safety system that meets regulatory standards.”
