Contain and restrict the flow of rising diesel fumes with Flexiwall
Company: Spencer Group on behalf of East Midlands Trains
Location: Derby
Overview: Smoke curtain for fume containment
Solution: Flexiwall (smoke curtain)
Westgate Global recently collaborated with Spencer Group on behalf of East Midlands Trains. The challenge was the need for a permanent solution to effectively contain and restrict the flow of rising diesel fumes from roof mounted train exhausts, emitted during train maintenance and servicing operations. Leveraging their expertise, Westgate Global delivered a tailor-made solution utilising the innovative Flexiwall fabric partitioning system.
Fumes not only pose health risks and discomfort to employees, but also the potential to permeate throughout the facility, causing a sooty environment and affecting the overall air quality. Spencer Group sought a permanent solution that would effectively capture the harmful diesel fumes, ensuring a compliant, cleaner and safer working environment for East Midlands Trains.
The part-height high-level suspended partitions, constructed in lightweight yet durable fire proof glass-cloth material provided essential compartmentation to act as an effective smoke curtain to contain the diesel fumes, minimising their dispersion throughout the facility.
The industrial smoke curtains were suspended from the main roof trusses, carefully fitting around any obstructions and allowed for the accumulation of fumes in a controlled manner, channelling the fumes to extraction points and enabling more efficient extraction.
