Coopers smoke containment system at new Wembley
The new Wembley Stadium, currently under construction, is being installed with Coopers fire and smoke containment systems.
The project comprises a complex smoke control system that provides smoke containment for a large central atrium that spans several floors.
Smoke barriers are located within the space above the false ceiling, and carefully positioned to mirror the perimeter of the overhung void edge some 12 metres below.
The barriers are an integrated part of a total smoke control system and due to their excessive drop have been fitted with a unique cable guidance mechanism to ensure deflection of the barriers is minimised - ensuring that the gaps between the barriers remain under 60 millimetres.
The system at Langham Placeis the first large commercial development in an area which is located in Mongkok, an old part of the city.
The project is part of the Government's urban re-development scheme to regenerate older, run-down sectors in Hong Kong.
The installation is yet another demonstration of the innovative technology that puts Coopers out in front of its competitors.
