Historic transport infrastructure plays a vital role in connecting communities and supporting tourism. Constructed in 1912, Southend Cliff Lift is a unique and well-used attraction, providing essential access between the seafront and the clifftop.
Electrical systems are at the heart of the lift’s operation and as with all electrically powered assets, they present a potential fire risk. To alleviate this risk a Firetrace automatic fire suppression system has recently been installed to protect the electrical control panel operating the lift.
