Scotmid Heartlands
Client: Scotmid Co-Op
Project Length: 3 weeks
Completion date: September 2023
HF divisions involved: Fire & Security
Brief project description: At the end of September, Scotmid officially opened their latest store in the mixed use development in Heartlands, West Lothian. The 4000sqft store features all of the usual produce and goods that Scotmid is famous for and our Fire & Security team were tasked with completing the complete fire and security system installation for the new store.
Our engineers installed the full compliment of Fire Alarm, Intruder Security System, Access Control Systems, CCTV and Fog Bandit.
Fog Bandit is a fantastic system that operates on the simple philosophy of ‘if you can’t see it, you can’t steal it’. The smoke system, when activated quickly fills a room with safe high density fog that leaves no residue. Alongside our other security features including motion detection and magnetic lock systems, this latest Scotmid store is armed with the latest in anti theft security systems.
We also supplied and installed a new L1 Fire Alarm System that includes automatic fire detection as well as sounders present throughout the new fit out that achieve a minimum sound level of 65dB(A).
The CCTV system allows the store to monitor the entire building and the access control system ensures that only authorised personnel can access restricted areas such as the stock room.
Project Challenges: Because this was a new store fit out in a brand new building, we had a lot more freedom to install all of the fire & security systems than we might have in a historic building that has existing wiring and installations. The biggest challenge was the deadline. The Scotmid had a fixed opening date so we had to ensure that all of the fire & security installation work was completed in time for the store to be fully fitted out and prepared for the grand opening.
