Scaffolding and Temporary Structures
ProReact Linear Heat Detection for Scaffolding & Temporary Structures. Advanced Fire Safety for Dynamic Construction Environments
Scaffolding and temporary structures are essential to modern construction, refurbishment, and cladding remediation projects. Yet, these environments pose significant fire risks—often lacking permanent safety infrastructure, exposed to the elements, and constantly evolving in layout. In response, Thermocable and Ramtech have partnered to deliver a revolutionary fire detection solution that meets the demands of these high-risk, high-change settings.
The Challenge: Fire Safety in Temporary Structures
- Open-Air Vulnerability
Traditional fire detectors struggle with false alarms due to wind, dust, and moisture. - No Fixed Infrastructure
Temporary setups lack hard-wired systems, making conventional fire detection impractical. - High-Risk Activities
Welding, cutting, and electrical work increase the likelihood of fire incidents. - Changing Layouts
As scaffolding is erected, modified, or dismantled, fire detection systems must adapt quickly.
The Solution: ProReact + Ramtech Integration
Thermocable’s ProReact Fixed Activation LHD provides pinpoint heat detection using sensor cable that identifies overheat events anywhere along its length.
The cable is easily installed along scaffolding runs and protected by stainless steel braiding to withstand mechanical damage and harsh conditions.
Integrated with Ramtech’s WES3 wireless fire alarm system and REACT cloud-based emergency notification platform, this combined solution delivers:
- Instantaneous Fire Alerts
Real-time detection and communication to on-site teams and emergency services. - Remote Monitoring
Offsite visibility and control for safety managers. - Medical & Evacuation Support
Alerts for fire and medical emergencies, ensuring rapid response. - Scalable & Relocatable
Systems can be quickly redeployed as scaffolding or site layout changes.
Proven Performance in Termporary Projects
This system has already been deployed across cladding remediation sites, including high-rise buildings and heritage structures, where fire safety is paramount.
In a post-Grenfell landscape, the need for robust, temporary fire protection has never been greater. The Thermocable-Ramtech solution meets this need with EN54-28 approved technology and wireless communication that adapts to any site.
