S Norton

S Norton is a leading scrap metal recycling company with a commitment to environmental sustainability and operational excellence. Operating across various locations, their River Clyde site is pivotal in their operations yet the site faced a critical need for enhancing safety measures, particularly concerning emergency lighting. With a significant portion of their operations housed in out-buildings and offices, ensuring safe exit during power failures became imperative.

Our Fire & Security team undertook the task of upgrading emergency lighting systems at the S Norton River Clyde site. Understanding the unique requirements of the client, we installed new emergency lighting systems tailored to their needs.

The solution comprised a strategic combination of twin spot and bulkhead fittings installed throughout the office and out-buildings. This approach ensured comprehensive coverage of the site, offering the S Norton team safe exit routes in the event of power failures or emergency situations.

Our Fire & Security team installed

Twin Spot Fittings: Positioned strategically to provide high-intensity illumination, twin spot fittings were installed in critical areas to ensure clear visibility and safe passage during emergencies.

Bulkhead Fittings: Deployed in corridors, stairwells, and other key pathways, bulkhead fittings provided reliable and consistent illumination, facilitating smooth evacuation procedures.

The new emergency lighting installation is integrated with Power Backup Systems, guaranteeing uninterrupted operation even during power outages.

We ensured that all installations complied with relevant safety regulations and standards, providing S Norton with peace of mind regarding regulatory compliance.

The upgraded emergency lighting system significantly improves the safety of the site, providing employees with clear and illuminated egress routes during emergencies. By adhering to regulatory requirements, S Norton mitigated the risk of non-compliance and associated penalties.

Project Challenges: While we often come across and then overcome many challenges during fire & security installation work, this project was relatively straightforward.  The main challenge was ensuring that all work was completed safely during working hours with S Norton staff on site.
