Retrofits - Upgrade Your Outdated Fusible Link Ventilators for Enhanced Reliability
Many older buildings in South Africa still rely on fusible link ventilators. Replacing these links can be both wasteful and costly, and the reliability of such systems is often questionable. Fortunately, significant advancements in technology now offer a far more dependable solution.
SHEVS (PTY) Ltd provides a retrofitting service, replacing outdated fusible link mechanisms with modern, EN12101 approved actuators. This upgrade offers building owners peace of mind, ensuring their smoke and heat exhaust ventilators will function reliably for crucial fire safety and compliance.
Unbiased SHEV System Servicing and Transparent Integrity
In the smoke and heat exhaust ventilation (SHEV) industry, a potential conflict exists when the same contractors who identify problems during servicing are also responsible for proposing (often profitable) solutions, potentially at the client’s expense.
SHEVS (PTY) Ltd offers a unique solution: the option to have our service work independently overseen by an appointed third-party contractor. This ensures complete transparency and guarantees our integrity is never in question, providing you with unbiased assessments and recommendations.
Scheduled Maintenance
ENSURE LEGAL COMPLIANCE AND SYSTEM RELIABILITY WITH EXPERT SHEV MAINTENANCE
Scheduled maintenance is not just recommended – it’s a legal requirement for all fire-related systems and equipment in South Africa. According to SANS 10400-T, failing to maintain systems designed for fire detection, control, and suppression is an offense. Furthermore, SANS 10139 mandates servicing these critical systems at least every six months.
Insurance companies also reinforce the importance of regular maintenance, often refusing to cover claims if proper service records are absent. While we understand that the servicing of smoke ventilation systems can sometimes feel like an unwelcome expense, choosing the right provider is crucial.
At SHEVS (PTY) Ltd, we offer expert servicing plans that provide you with the confidence that your systems will operate reliably when they matter most. Our comprehensive service includes thorough functionality checks and tests, detailed inspections for any damage, scrupulous cleaning and lubrication of components, and proactive repairs and preventative maintenance to extend the lifespan of your entire SHEV System.
When our qualified technicians service your smoke ventilation equipment, they adhere to a detailed checklist (available for your review) to ensure every installed component meets all relevant South African regulations and standards. Trust us to provide compliant, thorough, and reliable maintenance that protects your property and ensures your peace of mind.
