Sheltered Housing Fire Alarm Upgrade Programme

Sector

Location

North Midlands

Service

Active Fire

Fieldway was appointed to design and install fire alarm systems at three Great Places sheltered housing schemes, with a contract value of more than £150,000.

Fieldway upgraded the systems to Protec 6000 series equipment, using three engineers to complete each site sequentially. The programme was managed by a dedicated Project Manager, with directly employed local engineers supporting delivery against a restricted deadline. Fieldway also worked closely with carers and scheme managers to prepare for work within individual dwellings and coordinated with other contractors working simultaneously on site.

What we did

Fieldway designed and installed Protec fire alarm systems across three sheltered housing schemes for Great Places.

During mobilisation, Fieldway established arrangements for working within individual dwellings working closely with carers and managers. We were able  to fully support the vulnerable residents of the scheme during the works as a result.

Resident Care and Communication

Fieldway worked closely with carers and scheme managers to support vulnerable residents.

Fieldway identified asbestos at one site during tender and arranged its safe removal before mobilisation. The team also established early communication with other contractors to fully coordinate activities and protect the programme.

Innovations, Challenges, Solutions

Asbestos was identified before the works began.
