Safety Gas Detection wins gas alarm contract

Safety Gas Detection has won a contract to service 34 gas alarm systems at the University of Liverpool in an annual maintenance contract.

Safety Gas Detection won the contract as it was able to offer cost savings against the existing contractor plus a higher level of service by providing more pro-active maintenance visits.

The company's gas alarm systems monitor presence or depletion of a range of gases.

The most common systems supplied by Safety Gas Detection are alarms for oxygen depletion.

The systems can use the oxygen measurement to identify nitrogen leaks.

These are therefore sometimes mistakenly described as nitrogen alarms or nitrogen gas detectors.

The company also has CO2 gas alarms for CO2 gas detection, and gas safe detectors for carbon monoxide (CO).

In addition, the company monitors refrigeration gases as well as hydrocarbons, flammable and toxic gases.

Its gas monitoring systems can monitor more than one gas and can cover multiple areas of buildings.

The systems can also provide refrigerant leak detection to meet the F-Gas regulations and BS EN 378.

One of the most recent advances in the technology is to offer gas monitoring systems, with connection via the internet, which allows Safety Gas Detection to dial into the system in the event of an alarm, and provide SMS text messages and emails to a client's key personnel.

This means that staff do not need to enter the risk area to get to the system touch screen interface - suitable for buildings not occupied 24/7 or where it would be unsafe to enter the building.

The company monitors the following gases: carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), flammable gas, oxygen, refrigeration gas, and toxic gas.

It services include free, no obligation site surveys, risk assessments, hardware installation, training, maintenance, calibration and alarm call receiving.

Its clients include universities such as the University of Manchester, University of Leicester, University of Wales Institute Cardiff and University of Liverpool, car parks and businesses using refrigeration.
