Colt has been appointed to provide smoke extraction technologies for the tallest residential project in
Europe, Pan Peninsula, next to London's Canary Wharf. Colt will supply ventilation and smoke extraction
for the basement car park including an extended corridor system, and a smoke shaft system for the main
body of the building.
Designed by Skidmore Owings & Merrill and developed by Ballymore, the Pan Peninsula project will boast
the most luxurious penthouses ever launched on the London market, each costing in the region of £ 10
million. The project is due for completion in 2009 and Colt's smoke extraction systems will be installed
next year.
The Colt smoke shaft system will be fitted in the two impressive towers, home to 762 apartments, reaching
40 and 50 storeys into London's skyline. The system will ventilate the common corridors at each level,
providing powered inlet and exhaust, with reversible fans to cater for all fire conditions. The system
will also be used at reduced flow rates to flush through the corridors on warm days. A Colt EN OPV smoke
control system, the most advanced on the market, will control this technology.
In addition, in the car park Colt is providing a ventilation system to dilute and extract exhaust fumes in normal use and to remove smoke in the event of a fire. Colt was able to reduce the number of fans originally specified, using Cyclone Induction Fans, as well as supplying extraction plant. This followed extensive CFD analysis of the complex triple stack car park which Colt carried out in order to obtain Building Control approval.
Andrew Briggs, who is managing the Pan Peninsula project for Ballymore,
stated: "Colt provides excellent products and a first class service.
Colt's testing facilities and documentation ensure the quality of its
technology. Once installed, Colt provides engineering backup for every
aspect of its smoke control systems."
Colt's
involvement in this groundbreaking project firmly cements its position
as a leader in high-end, technologically advanced smoke control
solutions. |
