Global fire systems leader, Advanced, has been specified on another
landmark tall building.
Set to stand at 62-storeys high, 22 Bishopsgate in
the City of London will, on completion, become the second-tallest building in Western
Europe.
The 278m office
building will offer 1.275 million sq. ft of high specification office space, as
well as eight
community spaces, covering over 100,000 sq ft, including an innovation hub,
curated gallery space, fresh food market, gym and wellbeing retreat. Once completed, Advanced will protect
both of Western Europe’s tallest buildings, with 22 Bishopsgate being the
latest in a long line of London’s most prestigious and iconic skyscrapers
specifying Advanced, including the
Shard, the Leadenhall Building, the Heron Tower and the HSBC Tower.
At the centre of the active fire protection for 22
Bishopsgate are over 80 networked MxPro 5 panels with graphic display and BMS
integration, alongside three special build panels for the building’s Fire
Command Centre, that will form part of the intelligent fire detection network. Advanced’s panels are used alongside Apollo’s
Soteria detectors and its networking is widely regarded as the most resilient and
scalable solution on the market. It can be expanded up to 200 node networks
covering huge areas with complicated cause-and-effect.
As a UK-first, 22 Bishopsgate will utilise a
specially developed lift-evacuation strategy in case of fire. The building is separated into
four vertical areas by fire-hardened slabs with a two-hour fire rating
separating a floor from the one above at levels 26, 42 and 58. Depending on
which of the four vertical areas of the building a fire is detected, workers on
that floor and the floors above egress via fire escape stairs to the area below
and from there can evacuate via the lifts, safe in the knowledge that these are
protected by the slabs above.
Responsible for every aspect
of installation of the fire system from design to completion, PHF Fire, a
division of PHF Electrical, used Advanced for its market-leading networking
capabilities, best suited to managing a network of this size and complexity.
