Project background

This Land Securities development comprises two distinct buildings connected by a new public piazza. Together, they comprise 355,000 sq ft of office space and 26,000 sq ft of restaurant and retail space. The project was hugely ambitious, with work on both buildings being carried out at the same time. Night and weekend working were introduced for commissioning and IST activities, ensure all deadlines were met.

Equipment

Bells provided a package of six generators and PLC’s. We installed 2 x P1700P1 tenants generators and 1 x P800P1 life safety 400V generator at basement level in 30 Old Bailey. At 60 Ludgate Hill, we installed 2 x P2000P1 tenant 400v generators at basement level and 1 x P800P1 life safety 400V generator within an acoustic enclosure at roof level.

Controls

An Allen Bradley PLC system with outstations at each switchboard was installed to control the mains operation of the building. We were also responsible for fitting 72 hr (tenants) and 24 hr (life safety) bulk fuel storage systems and all associated fuel control and pipework systems.
