ADS Group covers Waterford city and county on maintenance contracts carrying fire detection, emergency lighting, fire fighting equipment, intruder alarms and CCTV under one agreement, one renewal date and one certificate pack. Where a building's evacuation strategy depends on compartmentation rather than on leaving, the contract has to cover the things that strategy relies on.
Progressive horizontal evacuation depends on fire doors closing and compartments holding. The alarm signalling the right zones is half of it. A contract that covers detection but never looks at whether the door releases actually drop the doors is covering half the system that the strategy relies on.
Plant shutdown, dampers and suppression interfaces fail silently. If the contract does not name them, nobody proves them, and the first test is the real one.
Waterford, Cork and Kilkenny sites go on one agreement with one renewal date, which is the only practical way to know whether an estate is currently certified.
Full detail on the system types, the standards and the certification process is on the Maintenance & Compliance page, and everything else we cover in the county is on the Waterford page.
An engineer assesses the site, reviews the existing system and its documentation, and returns a written scope of works.
