Emergency power is a crucial requirement for today's computer-dependent businesses and all three Bankside buildings have emergency power generator halls installed on 'floating floors' on the 12th floor of Bankside 1, and on the 9th floors in the other 2 buildings.
Noise from the diesel generators within these halls will be controlled by the use of custom-built enclosures.

The fact that we offer products with guaranteed acoustic performance means that our customers can be confident of our ability to meet even the most stringent acoustic specification.".
