Colt scores hat trick at Highbury

Colt International has scored at Highbury Square, a new residential development built on the site of Arsenal Football Club's old stadium, with a hat trick of products. Colt has been awarded the complete package associated with the smoke ventilation of the corridors and staircases, in a project valued at over £ 600,000.

Six-storey Highbury Square is centred around the old football pitch, which has become a communal garden, with Arsenal's new home - Emirates Stadium - just a goal kick away.

"Colt's OPV control network allows centralised monitoring, a key requirement of this project", explains Simon Angold at M&E Contractor N G Bailey. "The company's vast experience in shaft ventilation and smoke detection, along with its ability to provide a packaged solution, made Colt the ideal supplier for this high profile project."
