Solution
Public Address & Voice Alarm (PAVA) Systems
With over 30 years of specialist experience, Nuway delivers fully designed, installed and maintained Public Address (PA) and PAVA (Voice Alarm) systems that provide clear communication and compliant life-safety performance across buildings of all sizes. From RIBA Stage 3 through commissioning and long-term maintenance, our solutions ensure consistent audio coverage and full compliance with BS5839-8:2023.
Public Address & Background Music
Our PA/BGM systems combine high-quality background audio with clear, prioritised voice announcements. Zoned control and compatibility with existing fire detection systems make these solutions ideal for retail, leisure and public venues where reliable communication and intelligibility are essential.
IP-Based Public Address Solutions
Nuway’s IP-based PA systems provide flexible audio distribution for large, multi-zone buildings. Designed for environments such as gyms, pools, studios and outdoor areas, they integrate smoothly with wider building services including digital signage, pool alarms and personal safety systems. Multiple East Riding Leisure Centres are supported under Nuway maintenance contracts, ensuring long-term system performance.
PAVA for Safe, Controlled Evacuation
Our PAVA systems deliver clear, directive voice messages that support safe and coordinated evacuation — essential for stadiums, arenas, theatres, shopping centres, transport hubs and large public buildings. Automated phased evacuation, operational resilience during partial system failure, and up to 50% faster evacuation times than bell-only systems ensure dependable safety performance. Nuway provides full servicing and maintenance for major installations including the MKM Stadium, as well as complex multi-zone venues such as the Becketwell Performance Venue in Derby and Wolverhampton Civic Halls, where clarity, coverage and compliance are critical.
Compliance & Support
All systems are designed and maintained to BS5839-8:2023. Nuway offers intrusive and non-intrusive surveys, maintenance contracts, upgrades, emergency repairs and compliance audits, providing ongoing support for safety-critical environments.
