Design & Manufacture of special builds

We appreciate that every single application is different and some projects may have unique requirements.  If our standard range of smoke generators don't quite meet your requirements please contact us and we will be happy to assist.

   

Hire of experienced operators

Some applications are quite specialized & may require the assistance of one of our experienced operators.  We frequently "hire" operators to give assistance and advice to ensure that whichever smoke generator is used, it performs to the best of it's ability.  Our operators have been involved in the following tunnel emergency exercise / ventilation tests and more: 

  • Holmesdale Tunnel
  • Conwy Tunnel 
  • Hatfield Tunnel 
  • Hinhead Tunnel
  • Dartford Tunnel
  • Channel Tunnel

If you would like more information about hiring an experienced operator please contact us. 

Concept's servicing, repairs & maintenance / after sales assistance

Concept are the only manufacturer of smoke generating equipment that offer a lifetime heater block warranty on top of a class leading parts warranty.  We provide a comprehensive repair, servicing and maintenance facility here at our factory in Maidenhead.  We still carry out periodic servicing on machines that were made 40 years ago!  

With Concept's mains driven smoke generators we also offer a free servicing and maintenance course, which are available upon request.  We will teach you how to maintain your smoke generator to get the best out of it in terms of both performance and reliability.

Recent feedback from our maintenance course:

Observations on Concept ViCount smoke system:

"Reliability - we have three ViCount generators, two of which are at least ten years old.  These are extremely reliable as is the new one, we rarely have problems with them.

Smoke & running costs - very good quality of smoke at all times providing excellent conditions within the fire house as required.

Running costs - the amount of training provided from one drum of smoke oil is very good.  Due to the quality of smoke provided, the generators do not need to be on as long now as we have three.

Sales/support - always very good.  Whenever we have required assistance or advice, there has always been somebody available to help.  When we had a problem with a blocked filter, we simply made one phone call and this was dealt with quickly and efficiently."
