Aesthetics and optimal safety are said to be the main reasons the K-Series fire suppression system is being used in Jamie Oliver’s new Kingston-upon-Thames restaurant.
Based in a former office block, the celebrity chef’s latest venture has a high-tech kitchen design, and technology from Nobel Fire Systems has been installed discreetly to maintain the visual integrity of the location. The K-Series didn’t require obvious pipework or protruding nozzles, helping meet the aesthetic brief of the design.
The reputation of the K-Series line for reliability, added to the promise of rapid installation, sealed the deal for Nobel. A risk assessment of the site was carried out to allow the creation of a bespoke solution.
Ben Parker, Nobel’s commercial director commented: “The flexibility of our K-Series system in terms of meeting the aesthetic challenges posed by the catering specialists really came through in this project. Not only that, the restaurant kitchen is now protected by a system that has proved its effectiveness in commercial kitchen environments throughout Europe. We are delighted to have been a part of this exciting development.”
The K-Series is designed to British and European standards and is manufactured to ISO 9001:2000. It meets the requirements of BS 5839 EN54; BS 7273; NFPA 17a and is CE marked.
