A trampoline arena in Wales has bespoke mains lighting, emergency lighting and fire alarms. Black Circle Design, principal contractor and designer for the Go Air Trampoline Park in Cardiff, opted for Eaton mains lighting. The power management company also delivered an emergency lighting scheme and fire alarm for the safety of staff and visitors, as well as safeguarding the fabric of the building.
The Go Air Trampoline Park in Cardiff was completed within a seven-week deadline. The 7,315m2 venue, formerly a warehouse, was renovated and now houses 120 trampolines, six supersize foam pits and a dodge ball court.
Eaton staffers visited the warehouse at the outset to develop mains lighting with the client’s design team. Eaton then produced and delivered 45 of its Linergy LEDs.
Mark Elliott, business development manager for lighting and safety products at Eaton , said: “LED was an absolute must because of energy efficiency and future proofing. It also reduces the amount of maintenance required especially now that all the trampolines are in place. The Linergy LED provides 104.62 lumens per watt and when you get over 100 lumens per watt, you get into super-efficient territory. This product also meets the requirements of the enhanced capital allowance scheme, which means any company that invests in this high technology product can offset 20 per cent of the total installation cost against their tax bill.”
Eaton also recommended separate emergency lighting for the trampoline park, which uses Eaton’s Alfalux Highbay LEDs. Eaton supplied its recently launched two-wire fire system, BiWire Ultra. That allows detectors, sounders and EN54-23 approved visual alarm devices (VADs) to all share the same zone wiring, which can reduce cabling and labour costs.
Mark Bond, Director of installation company M J B Electrical and Solar Services Limited, said: “Despite a tight deadline, Eaton came through with everything they promised,” he said. “Everything that they specified, I bought upfront 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.
Dan Jones, Managing Director of Black Circle Design said: “We are really pleased with Eaton’s products and are looking to install both mains and emergency lighting in future Go Air sites. We also hope to provide Eaton’s fire alarm system in these projects as well.”
The Go Air group plans to open another five trampoline parks by November.
