Tyco Thermal Controls' trace-heating systems have been installed for frost protection on the external chiller and heating pipes at Swindon's new Great Western Hospital.
This ensures that it comes with an assurance for those responsible for cable specification and purchase that they are meeting the requirements of the Regulatory Reform Order (RRO) in regard to the material supply.
At 1fifty Cheapside, a range of heavy duty Pyro MI cables (up to 1H185) has been employed for the fire rated power applications encompassing: sub-mains for life safety systems; fire fighting lifts; fire interface to mechanical equipment and panels; extract fans; motorised smoke dampers; sprinkler pumps and fire alarm panel supplies.
For the fire-rated communications applications, including voice alarms and all fire telephones, over 30km of light duty Pyro MI cable has been installed.
All were supplied to the project through WF at Dagenham with logistical support from the manufacturer, Tyco Thermal Controls.
1fifty Cheapside is a St Martins Property Corporation development, due for completion in summer 2008.
It has 8 floors of commercial office space above retail units on the ground and lower ground levels.
