Colt Provides Smoke Control For Barratt West London
At GWQ, Colt is installing a scheme of Automatic Opening Ventilators (AOV's) for corridor areas, as well as smoke dampers and Colt Mechanical Shaft Systems, which take up 60% less area than a standard AOV shaft. All the equipment, including smoke detectors, are linked to a Colt central control system. The fire strategy was designed by Hoare Lea Fire, which Colt worked closely with from an early stage to provide the chosen solution.
Within the extensive car park, Colt is supplying a scheme of induction, ventilation and smoke extraction, consisting of Colt Cyclone and reversible Jet Stream fans. Such fans use tunnel ventilation technology to eliminate the need for costly and bulky ductwork, ideal for car parks as more space is available for vehicles. Colt is also providing a complete control system, which includes carbon monoxide sensors and heat detection for smoke clearance.
With its excellent transport links, GWQ is set to become a popular location for central London commuters.
