Go-Air - Trampoline centre in Cardiff, UK
Eaton helps trampoline centre reach new heights in safety and comfort
Location: Cardiff, Wales
Challenge: To provide a bespoke fire alarm system to help protect the safety of staff, visitors, and the fabric of the building and its assets.
Solution: BiWire Ultra two-wire fire alarm safety system.
Results: The project was successfully completed in a tight seven-week deadline. In addition, Eaton’s products have ensured the health and safety of Go Air staff and will be specified in future Go Air sites.
Background: The Go Air Trampoline Park in Cardiff was the first trampoline project that Black Circle Design had worked on with the Go Air group. The trampoline company is expanding rapidly across the UK and plans to open another five parks by November. The 7,315m² venue, formerly a warehouse, had to be extensively renovated and now houses 120 trampolines, six supersize foam pits and a dodge ball court.
Solution: Eaton designed a fire alarm solution and supplied its recently launched two-wire fire system, BiWire Ultra. The advantage of this product is that, unlike standard conventional systems, BiWire Ultra allows detection notification devices (including EN54-23) and approved visual alarm devices (VADs) to all share the same zone wiring. This reduces cabling and labour costs.
Despite a tight deadline, Eaton came through with everything they promised
Results: Mark Bond, Director of installation company M J B Electrical and Solar Services Limited, said his team did not encounter any issues, errors or faults. “Despite a tight deadline, Eaton came through with everything they promised,” he explained.
“Everything that they specified, I bought up front so I knew I had it on-site. Eaton was always available. If we had any questions or queries, they would be there. When the layout was altered at the last minute, we had to order some additional components and they were there straight away.”
Go Air’s Cardiff facility was the first trampoline project that Black Circle Design had worked on with the company and the fact the venture was delivered on time without any problems has helped Black Circle Design win further contracts.
Lisa Entwistle-Evans, marketing director at Go Air, concluded: “The Go Air group is expanding rapidly across the UK. Getting the trampoline parks up and running requires a multi-partnership approach, working against tight deadlines, and Eaton has been a key player. The health and safety of our staff, customers and the premises is our main priority and Eaton’s fire alarm system and lighting solutions have been important in ensuring Wales’ biggest trampoline park has the protection it needs.”
