The site
The Health Club and Spa is located behind Chelsea Football Club’s Stamford Bridge ground in a complex including two hotels and other facilities. Holland Systems installed this system in 2016, and maintained it until the 2024 closure of the club for redevelopment. Holland Systems was merged into Ace Defence in June 2023.
The problem
Recently refurbished at the time of installation, the emergency call alarms in the Sauna and Steam rooms were in need of replacement. Holland Systems provide emergency alarms which alert staff to medical or other emergencies in saunas, steam rooms and swimming pools. The call buttons are air and low voltage battery powered as mains electricity would not be suitable for use in damp conditions.
How Ace Defence/Holland Systems helped
Maintenance Work was carried out on a Sunday evening as this was the only time that the club was closed for a sufficient length of time to allow access to both men’s and women’s areas. Routine battery changing and testing was carried out. A new emergency call was also installed in the disabled toilet area, so this was controlled by the same call system.

The Outcome
Once all components were installed the system was programmed for use. This included a recent innovation which “learns” the location and identity of each call button and assigns them to the correct function of the control panel. Once final testing of the system had been completed the system was switched on for use by the first guests at 6am. Handover of the system and staff training was carried out on the Monday morning.
Steve says…
One of our most interesting sites. The air pulse-controlled call buttons are ideal for use in any situation where electricity cannot be used, and metal parts may corrode quickly.
