Operating for over twenty years, this child-oriented theme park in Southern England is one of the most visited in Europe.
The theme park is always adding new attractions to enhance its reputation as a top-class theme park and the attraction opened in Spring 2019.
Safety at theme parks is paramount. As such, when equipping the new ride, the management wanted to install the latest in fire extinguisher technology.
The client purchased 40 of the P50 foam extinguishers. These 100% non-corrosive appliances do not require maintenance by an extinguisher engineer or a discharge test over their entire ten year lifespan. In addition, the properties of the foam allow the use of the extinguishers on live electrical equipment up to 1000 V (at a distance of one metre).
After 10 years the extinguishers can be refurbished for another decade of service-free life. (At the end of their life they are recyclable). Manufactured in the UK, the extinguishers are Kitemarked by BSI to EN3.
Since P50 extinguishers only require a simple check each year, undertaken by one of the theme park’s employees, this not only represents a cost saving but provides flexibility, since the work can be carried out at a convenient time and without disruption to the running of the ride.
Because all materials used in the construction of the P50s are non-corrosive, there is no problem with them being installed in any exterior areas.
