One of the main questions people ask Axel Thoms UK is what exactly can the chute be used for and can children go down the chte. We are all aware of what tragic events can take place around the world. Please read our cutting below where Axel Thoms UK are looking how other countries are adapting the product and the scale that they use it on.
Mumbai, July 23 A new method for speedy evacuation of people from buildings in case of emergencies was launched and demonstrated in India by Axel Thoms, a German company, on Wednesday.
The company demonstrated its emergency escape chute at a seminar conducted at the Victoria School for the Blind in the presence of some officials of the fire department. The chute, which is made of polyester and, according to the company, can withstand heat up to 500 degrees Celsius, is built like a spiral slide from the inside so that the effects of gravity can be controlled.
The tube ends in a cushioned platform that’s roughly the height of a chair to ensure that a person, when he lands, is in a position to leave it as quickly as possible but is comfortable. Moreover, it can be deployed in a matter of seconds as it falls quickly due to gravity. Depending on the height of a building, the structure can evacuate about 8-10 people in a minute. “The chute is designed for being used passively — all one has to do is slide down.
The chute reacts to a person’s shape,” said Ashok Kumar, MD of the Hermes Group, which will be the first in India to employ this escape system at their office in Bhaktawar Towers, Nariman Point. The chute is stored in a box like structure on the premises of the office.
Axel Thoms has sold 3,000 chutes the largest being 114 metres and the smallest being 3 metres — in 114 countries with clients ranging from oil companies to governmental bodies. The company has entered the Indian market after an alliance with the Hermes Group.
During the seminar, Kumar stressed that there is a need for offices to have a disaster plan. “When a company buys the chute, we send a team to inspect the office premises in order to find out a safe place for its installation,” he said. Along with installation, Hermes and Axel Thoms insist on a compulsory 15 year maintenance contract.
“The chute is disabled-friendly. Also, there is a provision of a small bag for babies and small children to secure before evacuation,” said Axel Thoms, founder of the company. The seminar ended with a live demonstration of a 3-metre sample of the product. “This is the smallest piece we have in use. A similar chute has been put up by a children’s home in Germany,” said Thoms.
