Opportunity overview

As part of the £42m construction of the new NIFRS Learning and Development Training College, NIFRS installed a number of bespoke, state of the art fire fighter (FF) training props, including; • Flood Water Facility • Motorway and Road Network • Urban Search and Rescue Road • Callout Village (various residential and agricultural properties) • Training Warehouse (Marine structure, street façade, mock fire station) • Hazmat Gas / Petrochemical Structure Within the Training Warehouse and Callout Village are bespoke FF Gas Props deigned to simulate different types of realistic fire scenarios. There are eleven gas props in total. Image 01 and Image 02 provide a visual example of some of the Gas FF Props. 1. Industrial Hazmat Prop - Stand-alone multi-functional training prop 2.

Car Fire (Mobile Prop - for external use or within bungalow garage) These bespoke gas props will require a stringent and specific planned preventative maintenance (PPM) regime to ensure they are compliant with gas safety regulations, specifically European Standards BS-EN 746-2. The specific PPM schedule is detailed within Appendix D - Total Care Maintenance Proposal; Section 6.10. In addition to PPM, Reactive maintenance is required to identify, isolate and rectify a fault so that the failed equipment, prop or system can be restored to an operational and safe condition within the tolerances or limits established for in-service operations.

Why this procedure was chosen
Reactive and planned maintenance and servicing of gas props must be undertaken by a competent, highly specialised gas safe contractor. The systems are complex and have specific supporting software. NIFRS initially planned to include this within the original construction contract as a GSL proposal via a novation. Lion have provided a statement of exclusivity for service and maintenance
