The Concept

Smoke Barriers:

Smoke Barriers control the movement of fire effluent within a construction works in the event of fire. Smoke barriers, when used within a smoke and heat control system, become a critical element of that system. If smoke barriers are not in their fire operational position, the system will not perform as designed. However, even in the event that other elements of the SHEVS do not function, smoke barriers in the fire operational position will provide essential smoke containment and channelling.

Fire Curtain Barriers:

Active Fire Curtain Barrier assemblies used in life safety and property protection applications can be vertical, horizontal or angled. For example, these could be used in place of fire doors and shutters, non-load bearing walls, non-load bearing ceilings and glazing. They can be used to form fire separation, such as protected lobbies. The typical advantage of active fire curtain assemblies is that they enable greater width and curtain movements with smaller space requirement than other traditional methods,e.g. steel fire shutters, doors.

Smoke and Fire Barriers Introduction

DescriptionSMC Coopers deployable smoke & draft curtains are like a large electrically operated roller blind. Whereby they are concealed above a ceiling out of view. The curtains are either activated by an alarm signal or by a power outage. The fabric is fire resistant, but the system as a whole is not meant to stop fire; it instead impedes or channels out the smoke.

The SMC Coopers SmokeStop ™ D100 is manufactured from the same materials that has been tested and certified for a 3-Hour fire label and smoke and draft rating, approved to span unlimited widths and heights up to 9m. The test criteria for fire rated assemblies included side guides, however the design parameters for deployable smoke & draft curtains do not require any of the above certifications except the ability to impede the spread of smoke and therefore side guides are not required for the D100 Deployable Smoke Draft Curtains . Thus, the D100 Smoke Draft Curtain exceeds the fire and life safety requirements of the building code.

Product ApplicationA Smoke Draft Curtain is commonly used in large spaces where smoke management is a challenge.In these type of applications, Smoke Draft Curtains typically work in conjunction with smoke and heat vents. Above smoke movement provides temporary tenable environments until building occupants can evacuate during a fire or emergency. Smoke Draft Curtains are a critical part of the compartmentalization effort because they prevent the migration of smoke and help to channel it towards vents that are a passive system for smoke management.

Product AdvantagesSMC Coopers SmokeStop™ D100 are made of technologically advanced fire-resistant fabric. The assembly is concealed in a compact overhead housing and is virtually invisible when retracted. Operated by remotely located control unit and fully synchronized with the building fire and life safety system. Upon activation the assembly gravity drops into place and is automatically reset after clearing of the fire alarm or smoke detection system.

Product ApplicationThe SMC Coopers FireMaster® evacU8® D200E, shown above depicts a single fire and smoke rated assembly which can incorporate egress doors. The D200E when deployed is fixed in vertical high pressure side guides that are easily hidden by side mounting. This technology guarantees no blowout or movement problems that are a potential challenge with combustion during a fire. Because D200E will not blowout from vertical shaft air pressures that are common in multistory buildings, these assemblies are easily tested under normal building conditions.

DescriptionThe SMC Coopers FireMaster® evacU8® D200E is a fire and smoke rated curtain with soft surface egress doors. The SMC Coopers FireMaster® evacU8® D200E is a first in the industry, made of a flexible fire-resistant fabric that has been US laboratory tested and approved for up to widths up to18m, heights up to 6m.

Product ApplicationSmoke and heat exhausted ventilation systems (SHEVS) create a smoke free layer above the floor by removing smoke and heat, and thus improve the conditions for the safe escape and/or rescue of people and animals and the protection of property and permit the fire to be fought while still in its early stages.

Smoke barriers control the movement of fire effluent within a construction works in the event of fire. Smoke barriers, when used within a smoke and heat control system, becomes a critical element of that system if smoke barriers are not in their fire operational position, the system will not perform as designed. However, even in the event that other elements of the SHEVS do not function smoke barriers in the fire operational position will provide essential smoke containment and channelling.

Product AdvantagesSmoke Barriers are made of technologically advanced fire-resistant fabric. The assembly is concealed in a compact overhead housing and is virtually invisible when retracted.

DescriptionSMC Coopers FireMaster® Active Fire Curtain Barriers are like a large electrically operated roller blind. Whereby they are concealed above a ceiling out of view. The curtains are either activated by an alarm signal or by a power outage. The Fire Curtain Barriers are always installed with side guides to stop the propagation of fire & smoke from one area to another.

Active Fire Curtain Barriers comprise technologically advanced fire-resistant fabric roller barriers encased in a compact steel housing. Barriers remain invisibly retracted until activated by an alarm or detector signal, at which time they descend safely to their operational position. To be regulation compliant, they must be protected by total power failure Gravity Fail-Safe. The fire curtain is mounted as a vertical rolling assembly with fixed side guides to ensure against movement or blowout during extreme pressures caused by fire conditions.

120min or 240min rating of a Fire Curtain is actually for the complete systems ability to stop the flames and not let the fire pass that barriers location.

FireMaster® Active Fire Curtain Barriers:

Product ApplicationSMC Coopers FireMaster® Fire Curtain Barriers are used in life safety and property protection application and can be horizontal, vertical or angled. For example, in certain end-use applications, these could be used in place of fire doors and roller shutters, non-loadbearing walls, non-loadbearing ceilings and glazed elements. They can be used to form fire separation, such as protected routes and protected lobbies. Active fire curtain barrier assemblies can enable greater barrier widths and barrier movements using less space than other traditional methods.

In case of a fire, to ensure safe passage of people, a Fire Curtain Barrier can be used to contain smoke for a predetermined time before closing fully for full fire containment, thanks to the Split Drop Delay, allowing evacuees to escape underneath it. As an additional safety precaution, one can install an emergency retract button, which when pressed, would pull the curtain upwards and after safely passing through, the curtain would automatically descend.

30

Product AdvantagesWhen compared to the other fire solutions is that the assembly is concealed in a compact overhead housing and is virtually invisible when in the retracted position. It is operated by a remotely located control unit and fully synchronized with the building fire and life safety system. Upon activation the assembly gravity drops into place and is automatically reset after clearing of the fire alarm or smoke detection system.

Case Studies:GREATER LONDON AUTHORITY - GLA BUILDING - LONDON - UK

This new and striking piece of modern architecture,which sits opposite the Tower of London, and next to Tower Bridge, houses the Mayor of London and his assembly. It provides 17,000 square metres of accommodation on ten levels.Its glass enclosure invites the public to watch the assembly at work. The top floor is available for exhibitions or functions for up to 200 people.

The building’s unique,offset spherical design has a built in environmentally sustainable energy system,which reduces the running costs to 25% of what they would have been using traditional methods. The cutting edge design also incorporates a natural ventilation system.

Much of the interior is open plan, which necessitated the inclusion of Coopers Fire Barriers at high level to separate the auditorium from the walkways. The barriers are fitted with voice warning systems and “split drop”delays,ensuring that upon initiation, the barrier will provide the essential smoke containment, followed by full fire containment. Coopers also designed and fitted “Bomb Blast” Barriers in the mail room, separating it from the car park.

ROYAL EXCHANGE - LONDON - UK

A landmark site in the City of London,the Royal Exchange is a feat of architecture, which stands proudly alongside the Bank of England, Mansion House and The Stock Exchange. The third and current Exchange was designed by Sir William Tite and was originally conceived as a meeting place for city merchants.It is open to the public on most days.

The building has been twice destroyed by fire, but on both occasions it was re-built on the same site.The current Royal Exchange was opened by Queen Victoria on January 1st 1845 and cost no less than £150,000!

As part of a major refurbishment,Coopers designed and installed a series of concealed Fire Barriers to the ground floor shop fronts, which provide fire and smoke containment in the event of a fire within a shop. As there is only one point of entry and escape from the shops, all barriers are fitted with voice warning systems and “split drop”delays.All barriers also have high visibility signage and emergency retract facilities.

Due to the unique design and application,Coopers worked closely with architects Fitzroy Robinson & Partners, to satisfy the high level of scrutiny, approvals and testing that are required by the local authorities.

SWISS RE BUILDING - LONDON - UK

Towering majestically above the London skyline, the Swiss Re Building is set to become one of the capitals most prestigious landmarks. Designed by the eminent architect Lord Foster, and built by Skanska the Swedish construction company, it will house retail outlets as well as offices,to serve the local working community.

The aerodynamic form of the building aids the unique natural ventilation system,by minimising wind loads on the structure, such that wind is not deflected to ground level, where it would cause discomfort to pedestrians.

Coopers engineers worked closely with Arup Fire Consultancy to design and install over a kilometre of smoke containment system for numerous floor levels within the thirty nine storey glass tower.The unique design of the building necessitated a stringent and highly detailed performance specification to be produced and adhered to. Coopers were chosen for this important project because of their track record in providing innovative solutions that suit the requirements of modern building designs and materials.

HARAMAIN HIGH SPEED RAIL PROJECT

The Haramain High Speed Rail project also known as the “Western Railway” or “Mecca-Medina high speed railway”, is a 449.2 kilometres (279.1 mi) high speed inter-city rail transport system under construction in Saudi Arabia.[1] It will link the Muslim holy cities of Medina and Mecca via King Abdullah Economic City, Rabigh, Jeddah, and King Abdulaziz International Airport. It will connect with the national network at Jeddah.

The rail line is planned to provide a safe and comfortable transport in 320 kilometres per hour (200 mph) electric trains. Construction started in March 2009. The railway is expected to carry three million passengers a year, including many Haj j and Umrah pilgrims, helping to relieve traffic congestion on the roads. The double-track line will be electrified and the design speed is 360 kilometres per hour (220 mph).

The total contract value is EUR 6.736 billion (approximately US$9.4 billion).

SMC Coopers specialists in fire and smoke containment were commissioned to produce a custom designed barrier system to prevent smoke dispersion into the station. The smoke curtains, which were installed by SMC interiors Saudi Arabia were specifically designed to protect the means of escape for customers, whilst at the same time dramatically reduce the transmission throughout the building of life threatening effluent generated by a fire.

SMC Coopers with its unique links with authorities governing fire legislation, such as BSi, has developed an unprecedented track record for providing highly effective barrier systems for multi-national companies at prime locations worldwide.

All the smoke Containment Systems were fully installed, tested, and commissioned by SMC interiors Saudi – Arabia Fire Specialists.
