Smoke and fume extraction for enclosed and semi-enclosed car parks, protecting escape routes, visibility and air quality in an emergency.
Why Car Park Smoke Clearance Matters
Car park smoke extraction systems are designed to detect smoke early and rapidly remove hot, toxic fumes in the event of a fire. By clearing smoke and hot gases from enclosed or semi-enclosed parking areas, these systems maintain usable escape routes, improve visibility for firefighters, and support safe evacuation.
How the System Works
A typical system uses monitored fans and ductwork to pull smoke out of the car park and discharge it safely. When smoke is detected, the fans automatically ramp up to extract smoke and hot gases, preventing heavy buildup and supporting firefighter access. Smoke can pool at low levels in underground or partially enclosed structures, so fast, effective extraction is critical for both life safety and compliance. A properly maintained system also limits heat and CO buildup, keeping the escape route usable long enough for evacuation.
Keeping the System Compliant and Performing
We provide servicing, fault investigation and repairs for car park smoke extraction systems. Our work covers fan control, automatic start logic, fire alarm/AOV integration, damper control, safety interlocks and CO ventilation checks. If your system is faulty, underperforming or poorly installed, we can assess it and bring it up to standard.
Service and testing in line with BS 7346-7 and the relevant sections of
BS 9999.
