A case study of fire alarm control panels as chosen by the installers GBE Fire & Security for a fire safety system that will protect a 102,000 sq ft new-build office and retail development in central London.
The new building, now housing the Publicis Group, a PR firm, is a mix of new office and retail space with a landscaped courtyard leading from Chancery Lane close to Holborn’s Inns of Court and Royal Courts of Justice. Care has been taken to create a premium development that respects listed buildings in the vicinity. The Cat A design sets targets for sustainability and will achieve significant carbon reductions compared to a more typical speculative office development.
The intelligent fire safety system, designed and installed by GBE features Kentec’s Syncro networked analogue addressable fire control panels with XP95 fire detection and audio visual warning devices, supported by Apollo high integrity open protocol.
