UNIVERSITY FUTURE-PROOFS £450M CAMPUS WITH
NETWORKED FIRE SYSTEM FROM ADVANCED
Swansea University has installed a network of
Advanced fire alarm control panels to protect
its 65-acre, £450 million Bay campus from the
threat of fire.
The University has installed 25 one, two and fourloop
MxPro 5 fire alarm control panels throughout
its 11 academic Bay campus buildings, specified
thanks to their superior networking abilities.
Installed alongside over 5000 Hochiki and
Apollo protocol devices, each fire panel has been
programmed as a standalone, with all information
reporting back to the main security command
centre repeater panel. Over the years to come and
as the campus continues to grow, further panels
can be added
to the site-wide
network wise
ease, creating
time and cost
e iciencies,
while
minimising
disruption to
the university’s sta and students.
Advanced partner Securus Group was responsible
for networking the Bay campus fire system &
commissioning a number of buildings including
Swansea University’s IMPACT building, Energy
Safety Research Institute (ESRI) and Active building.
James Watts, commissioning engineer at Securus
Group, said: “Advanced is the ideal solution when
protecting large-scale sites with multiple buildings
that each have individual cause and e ect
programming. Advanced panels are very easy to
install and configure and provide powerful, resilient
networking.”
MxPro 5 is the fire industry’s leading
multiprotocol fire system solution and was recently
certified by FM Approvals to the EN 54 standard. It
o ers customers a choice of two panel ranges, four
detector protocols and a completely open installer
network, backed up by free training and support.
MxPro panels can be used in single-loop, singlepanel
format or easily configured into high-speed
networks of up to 200 panels covering huge areas.
MxPro’s ease of installation and configuration as
well as its wide
peripheral
range make it
customisable
to almost any
application.
Phil Calvey,
Regional Sales
Manager for
the South
West, said: “Our MxPro 5 product range is ideal for
any large-scale site, including hospitals, prisons,
airport terminals and university campuses, where
networking is specified or desirable. Thanks to the
work of Securus Group I’m confident that, as new
buildings emerge on campus and further control
panels are installed, the fire system will stand the
test of time.”
Advanced, owned by FTSE 100 company Halma
PLC, has an enviable history of protecting some
of the world’s leading educational institutions,
including the Australian National University,
Cambridge University and Sofia University.

reverse osmosis (RO) system
designed to produce high-quality ingredient
water.
The NURION system produces water suitable
for use across a number of manufacturing
facilities. Water produced from the system is
free from any undesirable taste, odour, colour
and impurities, which could be harmful to
consumers and to product quality. As a result,
the high purity solution is particularly suited
for use in the food and beverage industry as
ingredient water. The solution, which has
been developed through VWT UK’s business
unit, SOLYS will help customers to comply
with the most stringent regulations and will
guarantee that the water entering products is
of a uniform quality and consistency.
Thanks to its permeate line design and
certified components, the NURION system
ensures consistent water quality. The system
follows European Hygienic Engineering and Design
Group (EHEDG) hygienic design principles, which
allows it to optimise microbial control throughout
the treatment process. The new system also
features a variable speed pump, which has been
integrated with automatic control valves and
aligned with the automation features to ensure
stable operation and an autonomous RO. As well
as being more stable, the system’s low energy
membranes allow the NURION system to work at
lower operating pressures.
As well as providing exceptional performance,
the NURION system has been built with
accessibility in mind. The ‘plug and play’ unit can
be fitted within an existing facility or supplied as
a containerised solution. What is more, with a 12
inch touchscreen panel, operators can manage the
system via a user-friendly interface. Every aspect
of the system has been built with quality control
in mind. This includes the decision to manufacture
its frame from an epoxy coated carbon steel.
Similarly, all non-metallic materials have been
supplied in accordance with at least one of the
drinking water FDA/ NSF-61/ ACS regulations.
VWT UK prides itself on the local a er-sales
service it o ers with every specification. To
ensure the long-term, e icient operation of
installed systems, the company’s support team
o ers preventative and corrective maintenance
programs. Additionally, the company can
provide its AQUAVISTA system, a cloud-based
program that allows users to monitor the
performance of their systems day or night.
The program allows users to keep up-to date
with real-time performance data over any
internet or cellular connection. Pairing one of
the company’s innovative systems with its digital
AQUAVISTA service provides users with access
to more information around asset monitoring,
benchmarking, improvement and management.
