Description

Multi Entry Chutes are designed specifically for Medium to High Rise Buildings for immediate and quick access to the Chute in case of any emergencies. The Evacuees can Enter the Multi-Entry Chute from every floor of the building and reach the ground safely and quickly. This multiple escape chute system is installed inside a protected vertical shaft enclosure that is constructed in accordance to local fire code that provides protection from fire effects for evacuees so that it can be used safely for egress. This interior chute is constructed of 2 layers, the outer layer provides a speed restraining effect and the inner layer supports the whole weight of chute. The chute is installed in the segment at each floor level inside the fire-protected shaft, one segment of chute per floor, from the highest floor to the ground floor on the same vertical line. One chute serves many floors and occupants can gain access to the chute at each floor. However, a separate Duct or Shaft is required for the Multi-Entry Chute. The Shaft Size for a building upto 10 Floors is 4ft x 4 ft. For taller buildings, however, the shaft size required is 4ft x 8ft. Hence it is usually necessary to plan the duct at the time of designing the building.
