Inspection of smoke and heat exhaust ventilation systems (SHEV)
Smoke and heat exhaust ventilation (SHEV) systems are devices that remove smoke and heat from rooms where fire breaks out. They facilitate evacuation and protect the building against smoke and water damage.
Vinçotte advises you in your choice of the right system, helps you with its correct implementation and checks its proper functioning.
Smoke and heat evacuation systems are devices used to evacuate smoke and heat from a room damaged by fire. They facilitate the evacuation of people and the intervention of the emergency services and reduce the impact of smoke and heat on the building.
