Nittan Installs Its Evolution Analog Addressable Fire Detection System At Ashburton Triangle, Situated On The Emirates Stadium Site In London

Nittan Europe, a globally renowned manufacturer of conventional and addressable fire detection products, has had its Evolution analog addressable fire detection system installed throughout Ashburton Triangle, situated on the Emirates Stadium site in North London, United Kingdom. The system was supply and commissioned by Nittan’s elite partner, Coomber Fire and Security Systems.

A mixed-use development, Ashburton Triangle comprises 249 flats over 12 floors, along with the ever-popular Arsenal Museum, and encloses a landscaped communal garden. The property is owned and managed by Newlon Housing Trust.

Nittan’s advanced, premium Evolution analog addressable fire detection system was specified for this iconic development, due to its exceptional reliability, together with a very high degree of protection against unwanted false alarms.

Furthermore, its flexible protocol allows for substantial amounts of information to be transmitted at high speed, thereby supporting high-performing cause and effect programming, which was a key factor in the decision-making process.

Evolution EV-DP smoke detectors installed

Over 3,500 Nittan devices have now been installed throughout Ashburton Triangle, with a significant number being Evolution EV-DP smoke detectors. EV-DP smoke detectors have been designed to reduce false alarms caused by non-combustion products such as steam, dust and aerosols.

Unlike other industry standard (single optical sensor) smoke detectors on the market that claim to distinguish between smoke and non-combustion products, the EV-DP smoke detector effectively measures the actual particle size in the chamber, via its combined IR (infrared) and blue LED technology. As steam and dust are much larger particles than smoke, the detector won’t false alarm.

Integration with varied third-party safety systems

The Nittan Evolution devices provide feedback to eight Advanced MxPro 5 panels, which together cater for very comprehensive, but simple to use cause and effect capabilities.

The fire detection system integrates with a wide range of third-party safety systems installed throughout the premises of Ashburton Triangle, including a sprinkler system, intelligent escape signage, lifts, door entry and access control systems, and dampers for both individual apartments and rooftops.

Nittan - Coomber Fire & Security Systems partnership

Nittan worked in close collaboration with one of its elite partners, the Somerset-based Coomber Fire & Security Systems, on this extensive Ashburton Triangle project.

Commenting on this latest project between the two companies, Adam Pitman, the Senior Fire Systems Engineer at Coomber Fire and Security Systems, said “As a Nittan Elite Partner and long standing customer, we have extensive product knowledge of Nittan’s Evolution range and know from first-hand experience just how reliable and flexible it is.”

Catering to complex fire safety needs

Adam Pitman adds, “The requirements for the Ashburton Triangle development were relatively complex, with extensive cause and effect programming, and the necessity for staged evacuation. The high number of dwellings and potential for unwanted alarms also made false alarm management a key driver in our choice and we know the highly resilient Nittan EV-DP with the Dual Photoelectric sensor is more than capable of meeting these needs.”

Robin Edmunds, the Sales General Manager at Nittan Europe, said “Nittan are delighted that Coomber continue to see not only the benefits of being a Nittan Elite Partner, but also the strengths of our individual products such as EV-DP. We look forward to working with Coomber and supporting them on many future projects of this nature.”
