Croydon Central Shopping Centre required a review of its smoke management systems following the identification of a potential requirement for costly additional smoke exhaust fans.
Resolve Partners provided project management services and coordinated a targeted fire engineering assessment to test whether the proposed mechanical upgrades were necessary. Working closely with the fire engineer and key stakeholders, Resolve helped develop a performance-based solution that demonstrated the required fire safety and compliance outcomes could be achieved without installing the additional fans.
The solution avoided significant capital expenditure, reduced disruption and construction risk within an operating shopping centre, and delivered a practical, evidence-based outcome aligned with Haben’s broader asset strategy.
