25 Churchill Place is a 23 storey commercial office tower in Canary Wharf, London. The tower includes 20 floors of high quality (Grade A) office space and is one of the most energy efficient office buildings in the area. Environmental features include lifts that store energy that is re-used elsewhere in the building, and also a highly efficient air conditioning system.
Standing 130m tall, 25 Churchill Place has a VIGIL2 EVAS voice alarm system and an OmniCare EVC system installed.
The Project
Initially the voice alarm system was installed to service the ‘shell and core’ of the building, with the system racks being designed and built to enable the fitting of ‘tenant’ functionality as and when required. This process is easily achieved due to the modular design of a VIGIL voice alarm system and is a frequently used benefit for ‘new builds’.
For the disabled refuge and fire telephone system (EVC), the loop wired OmniCare system was chosen. Canary Wharf Contractors (Landlord) opted for the dual coloured combined fire telephone (red)/disabled refuge (green) outstation which provides users with a choice of communication method.
Both systems were designed and installed by Global Fire & Security Systems.
We have worked closely with Canary Wharf Contractors and Baldwin Boxall on many projects, and this one is another to add to that list. We choose Baldwin Boxall's systems, not only because we know them to be well built and reliable, but because of the support we receive from the company - at all levells
