Multi-Storey Flats - Sensors

A new sensor is helping to keep an eye on damp and mould in around 20 of our multi-storey properties as part of an exciting new trial initiative. They will be connected to a ‘LoRaWAN’ network, a cloud-based system, allowing ng homes to proactively monitor homes helping to identify areas where dampness and mould may be an issue as well as to find and implement solutions.

Installation of the trial sensors began in May 2024. The sensors are part of the wider ‘Internet of Things’ (IoT) initiative which uses digital aspects in everyday aspects of managing homes from door entry systems to topping up utilities.

If you have any questions regarding this work, please speak to your Housing Officer.

Multi-Storey Flats – District Heating and Investment Project

ng homes have now replaced the heating systems to 592 properties within six of the multi-storey blocks in Springburn. The installation of a new district heat network, using Air Source Heat Pumps, have now made them some of the most energy efficient blocks in the UK.

Phase two of the District Heating Project commenced in June 2022 with a further seven multi-storey blocks in Springburn benefiting from the installation of the new system. Work concluded on phase two in late February 2023.

Fire Compartmentation - Fire Safety

Fire compartmentation work in our multi-storey flats , following the heating installation, has been completed. We are now proceeding with further upgrades to enhance common area fire safety.

Fire compartmentation, which prevents fire from spreading between units, is crucial for passive fire protection in multi-storey flats. This is achieved by creating 'compartments' using fire doors, fire-resistant floors, and walls.

The asbestos walls enclosing pipework and services between flats, located in the bathrooms, have been removed. Fire stopping has been implemented around the pipework using appropriate fire-resistant materials. This project commenced in September 2022 and reached completion in early 2024.

Work is also underway or recently completed on a number of other projects including:

Power-assisted doors – Hawthorn Court

The existing door entry system was difficult for residents to operate - this project will see new power-assisted doors and video-linked handsets installed which will greatly improve the ease of access for residents. Work due to start soon.

Fire Panels and Alarm System – Hawthorn Street complex

The existing system was reaching the end of its working life - work to procure and install a new system is ongoing.

Lift renewal - Broadholm Street

The aging lift at Broadholm Street is nearing its anticipated replacement date - survey work supported by City Building is ongoing to identify options for replacement.

Balcony Upgrades – Carron Estate

Works are now complete for stage one of this project, covering a number of properties at Carron Place.
