Leonardo Helicopters

Case Study

Leonardo Helicopters, a renowned aerospace company, required a comprehensive fire alarm solution to upgrade the fire detection systems across 20 buildings at their headquarters in Yeovil. Evo Fire & Security, a leading provider of fire and security solutions, successfully won the tender to execute this challenging project.

Evo Fire & Security's project involved the installation of new addressable fire systems to the P1/M category, which required meticulous planning and execution. The complexity of the buildings, site processes, and time restraints posed significant challenges that had to be overcome to ensure successful delivery.

Thanks to the exceptional work of Evo's design department, the team created a robust fire alarm system design tailored to the unique requirements of Leonardo Helicopters' headquarters. The design incorporated advanced addressable fire systems, providing superior detection capabilities and minimizing false alarms. The detailed quotations provided by Evo demonstrated their commitment to transparency and competitive pricing.

Phase 1 Installation Success:

Evo Fire & Security's team of highly skilled engineers executed the installation of the upgraded fire alarm systems across the 20 buildings at Leonardo Helicopters' HQ. Their expertise in working with complex infrastructures ensured seamless integration of the new systems. Despite the challenges posed by the project, Evo delivered on time and met all the client's expectations.

Phase 2 Expansion:

Impressed by Evo's performance during the initial phase, Leonardo Helicopters have awarded Evo with phase 2 of the project, which involves upgrading the remaining buildings during 2024. Evo's ability to adapt to evolving requirements and provide comprehensive solutions strengthened the partnership with the client, showcasing its commitment to delivering excellence. Recognising Evo Fire & Security's exceptional expertise and dedication, Leonardo Helicopters awarded them the site-wide fire alarm maintenance contract until 2025. This long-term partnership ensures that the fire alarm systems will be regularly inspected, maintained, and updated, keeping the headquarters safe and compliant with industry standards.

Evo Fire & Security's successful execution of the fire alarm upgrade project at Leonardo Helicopters' headquarters demonstrates their ability to handle complex installations while meeting tight deadlines. Through their expertise, innovative designs, competitive pricing, and commitment to customer satisfaction, Evo has solidified its position as a trusted fire and security solutions provider.

Client Says...

Evo Fire & Security began a large-scale project in November 2022 at Leonardo Helicopters UK under the Principal Contractor for a site-wide Fire Alarm Upgrade Project, which spanned over 20 different buildings. Mervyn and the Evo Fire & Security team have reassured us throughout. The team has executed a professional installation; showcasing highly trained, expert technicians and commissioning engineers throughout the project who have communicated well throughout.

The hard work undertaken has paid dividends in the reduction of planned installation timescales for multiple large buildings. Evo has been consistently reliable every step of the way. As our site has complex manufacturing facilities, Evo has had to adapt its approach to deal with an incredibly demanding environment, which was achieved with ease.

With such a large-scale project running smoothly over the last nine months; we are pleased to have built such a good working relationship with the team.

  • Testimonial I am pleased to say that Evo Fire & Security have carried out a superb job on site at Bristol Foyer. As building manager, I was concerned and genuinely worried about this upgrade project, due to our building being oversubscribed and always at full capacity, I wasn't sure how such a large project could be carried out without down time and effecting both staff and residents. From the initial pre-start meeting Evo provided us with confidence, this evolved throughout the project and due to efforts of the installers and management at Evo, the project was a complete success from start to finish. We had a couple of issues and design changes throughout, which were dealt with efficiently and effectively by the Evo team. I am pleased to have Evo on board as an approved contractor and look forward to working with them in the future. Richard Williams Team Manager LiveWest
