Playing our part in the Games

The Olympics opening ceremony was a real humdinger with jaw dropping visuals, incredible performances, smatterings of unique British humour, all under world class direction and thundering along to an amazing showcase soundtrack.

Who can forget the Industrial Revolution section? Kenneth Branagh's charismatic Brunel, great rising chimneys, the forging of the rings, a veritable hive of activity, the world was transfixed.

And what great smoke effects! Have you ever wondered how they produce effects like that at a live event?

Smoke generators of course. Or to be more precise - a score of Concept Smoke Systems' water based fog generators in their most impressive supporting role to date. We doff our top hats to both Artem and Concept Smoke Systems for such as great job.

Concept’s artificial fog systems are powerful and engineered to an unparalleled level. They have to be, outputting immense amounts of thick, non-toxic smoke that doesn't instantly disappear with the first gust of wind. 

Concept Smoke Systems, our sister company, are frequently chosen for the reliability and quality of the generators. Besides supplying special effects smoke to the entertainment industry, they also simulate conditions for realistic fire training, carry out leak testing and assist with air visualisation applications.

This very same precision engineering has been translated over to the security sector, allowing us to pass on the same benefits to our crime fighting efforts. Security smoke systems are designed primarily for internal use, rapidly filling rooms and shop areas to repel and deter intruders. In formation they are powerful enough to fill entire warehouses. Utilising the same water based fluid mixture means that even the most delicate of goods such as electronics, fabrics and works of art can be protected.

If you are looking for a brand of smoke generator which, like the athletes, is synonymous with calibre and consistency, choose Concept, we are laps ahead.
