Background
The refurbishment and conversion of an existing insitu concrete framed building, over 8-storey plus a basement and corner tower extending to 12-storeys, into a 472 bed Student Accommodation incorporating communal areas, amenity space, coffee shop, co-working lounge and associated external works.
Solutions Implemented
Hispec was delighted to supply a range of alarms for this high profile development: HSSA/PE/FF10 smoke alarms and HSSA/HE/FF10 heat alarms were an ideal fit for a project of this scale and complexity.
Torsion Group is an independent company offering a solutions-focused approach to developing, constructing, and operating large accommodation-based schemes.
The alarms were delivered via Edmundson’s West Bromwich Branch, providing smooth logistical
coordination and reliable product availability throughout every phase of the project.
Why Hispec?
Rutland Street came with its own set of challenges due to the project’s scale and technical demands. Our choice of alarms was influenced not only by their trusted performance and quality, but also by their straightforward installation and smooth integration into the wider fire safety infrastructure.
“Hispec alarms proved to be an excellent solution for this project. Their simple installation and consistent reliability ticked every box. We were genuinely impressed by the product’s dependable performance and overall quality.” – Torison Groups
A Safer Future for Rutland Street
Hispec is honoured to contribute to the fire safety of this conversion to make the accommodation
for Students safe.
