Global systems leader, Advanced, is celebrating being
specified on yet another landmark development in London.
The installation of Advanced fire panels at the Landmark
Pinnacle marks another tall-building win for the manufacturer who, in 2019,
announced its specification at Western Europe’s second tallest building, 22
Bishopsgate.
Standing 75 floors high at the head of the South Dock in
the heart of Canary Wharf, the Landmark Pinnacle will, on completion in 2020,
be the tallest residential building in Europe with more habitable floors than
any other building in London, the UK and Europe. With prices starting from
£480,000 and amenities including a roof garden, gym, private dining facilities
and a cinema, London’s latest skyscraper, at 239 meters tall, will offer stunning
views across London and the surrounding counties.
Four market-leading 8-loop and two 4-loop intelligent MxPro
5 fire panels alongside three repeater panels specified for the tower will be
installed by Bedfordshire-based Firelec Controls Limited – responsible for the
design, installation, testing and commissioning of the fire system. The MxPro 5
panels, that last year were certified by FM Approvals to the EN54 standard,
will be networked with the tower’s BMS using BACnet, include a custom graphics
package and link to over 140 AOV vents and sprinklers with phased evacuation
between floors.
Richard Randall, Managing Director at Firelec, said: “Advanced
panels are our first choice every time, combining reliability and superior
technical ability. Given the nature and size of the Landmark Pinnacle we needed
a high level of protection to secure the public areas of the building and
thanks to Advanced’s vast cause and effect capabilities they were the ideal
solution for this installation project.”
The MxPro
5 is the unbeatable multiprotocol fire system. Approved to EN54-2,4&13, it
offers four protocols, Apollo, Argus, Hotchiki and Nittan and a completely open
installer network that benefits from free training and technical support.
Panels can be used in single-loop, single-panel format or easily configured
into high-speed, 200 panel networks covering huge areas. MxPro 5 panels are
backwardly compatible with existing MxPro 4 networks and include a host of
features including AlarmCalm complete false alarm management and reduction.
Amanda Hope, New Business Development Manager at Advanced,
said: “Landmark Pinnacle is the latest in a long line of tall buildings to
benefit from Advanced protection, including western Europe’s tallest and second
tallest buildings, the Shard and 22 Bishopsgate. Where complicated
cause-and-effect programming is required, our panels deliver market-leading
performance and protection and we’re thrilled to have been able to support
Firelec with the equipment required.”

impressive history of protecting some of the most prestigious and iconic sites
across the globe, including London’s Shard, Istanbul’s Hagia Sophia and Abu
Dhabi International Airport.
