Ringaskiddy Clinical Manufacturing Facility (RCMF)

Built in Pfizers Rigaskiddy Plant, over five storeys, the facility includes production areas, laboratories, office space, a just-in-time warehouse, plant and utility space and a warehouse drum store.

Safegard supplied an intelligent control and monitoring system for the motorised fire dampers fitted throughout the facility.  The CE marked and ‘EIS’ rated dampers throughout the development have been engineered to inhibit the spread of smoke and fire, protecting occupants and the building.

The system monitors and commands particular dampers to open or close in affected zones during a fire.  The control system quickly and effectively interfaces directly with the building's fire alarm systems and Building Management system.

It also means that all of the dampers can be tested remotely on a regular basis, adhering to current building regulations and best practice and significantly reduces maintenance time and cost.
