In recent years, Trident has significantly expanded its offerings by integrating advanced 3D laser technologies into its portfolio, including building scans and floorplan services. These cutting-edge services utilize LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) to create highly accurate digital 3D twins of buildings, revolutionizing the way fire safety compliance is managed.

Leveraging 3D Laser Technology for Compliance and Training
The digital 3D twins generated by Trident’s laser technology can be virtually toured, accurately measured, and annotated with critical fire safety information. These annotations can include videos and documents, ensuring that all necessary fire safety compliance details are centralized and easily accessible.
The virtual tours serve multiple purposes. They can be used for remote inspections during the design phase to showcase spaces or as a part of staff training programs, helping employees familiarize themselves with the building layout and escape routes.
In addition to 3D laser technology, Trident combines its extensive industry experience with modern technology to produce 2D CAD drawings. These drawings include detailed floorplans, fire separation diagrams, zone plans, and emergency escape route maps. In compliance with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, Trident creates plans that detail vital fire safety equipment, helping building managers and owners increase awareness among those responsible for fire safety.
Case Study: Village Hotels Club
Over the past year, Trident has partnered with Village Hotels Club, a national hotel chain, to ensure fire safety compliance across its 33 locations nationwide.
Village Hotels Club is known for offering more than just traditional accommodations. With stylish rooms, extra-comfy beds, health and wellness clubs, and state-of-the-art pools, the hotel chain prides itself on providing a comprehensive guest experience. Following extensive lobby and restaurant renovations, Village Hotels Club turned to Trident to enhance its fire safety compliance measures.
Trident conducted site visits to all Village Hotels locations, using advanced scanning technology to digitally capture the buildings. This process resulted in the creation of an interactive tool that allows the Village team to navigate each hotel digitally, without the need for physical site visits.
The scans produced up-to-date floorplans that facilitate remote measurements and highlight the placement of critical fire safety equipment throughout the properties. These detailed plans are essential for reviewing and ensuring the accuracy of fire separation and fire door installations across the hotels.

Village Hotels expressed their satisfaction with Trident’s services, stating: “We partnered with Trident Fire in 2023 to develop comprehensive plans and detailed fire compartmentation drawings for 31 of our hotels. Their precision and attention to detail have been instrumental in the success of this project. The Matterport scans provided by Trident, along with thorough training on how to use this technology, have greatly enhanced our ability to manage and review our properties effectively. Trident Fire also conducted fire door surveys at three of our sites, offering invaluable insights and recommendations. Overall, Trident’s expertise, professionalism, and dedication to fire safety have been exemplary. We highly recommend their services to any organization seeking top-notch fire safety solutions.”
Through its innovative use of 3D laser technology and commitment to excellence, Trident continues to set the standard for fire safety compliance in the industry, providing its clients with the tools and confidence they need to ensure their properties are safe and compliant.
