Fortress Recycling Case Study

to ensure the system was ready to work

Project Scope

The scope of works included:

Blazequel were appointed as the fire protection contractor for Fortress Recycling & Resource Management's new MRF - one of the most advanced in Europe. Fortress were building a brand new MRF (Material Recycling Facility), processing DMR (Dry Mixed Recyclables) inside a compact set of existing industrial buildings. Blazequel were responsible for liaising with the main contractor (Blue Group) for the installation, to dovetail the fire systems installation with the plant build.

What the client said

"When designing the MRF, due to insurance, the latest FPP requirements and high risk, fire protection was a significant element we wanted to mitigate. We discovered that although insurance companies and the Environment Agency require fire protection they do not know what they want.

Blazequel were very knowledgeable about the different fire protection and detection systems available as well as early warning systems such as aspiration systems. After the final bespoke specification was agreed, there was a relatively short amount of time to install the system, but Blazequel did everything they needed to in order to ensure the system was ready to work when the plant was commissioned and the project ran smoothly.

Blazequel now provide the necessary training, support and maintenance to ensure the system continues to protect our investment. "
