Landmark building in Canary Wharf is fitted out with fans that handle smoke ventilation at 300ºC for one hour

FCS Ductwork commissioned Fläkt Woods to supply precision fans for one of London’s newest landmark buildings – 20 Churchill Place on the Canary Wharf Estate.

The Fläkt Woods system significantly reduces enabling times and leads to minimal installation costs.

The fans come with sensors, switches, valves and duct-mounted dampers.

Plug-and-play sensor connectors can also provide quick, simple installation for remote functions, CO2 detection, humidity-level monitoring and pressure surveying.

The building, purpose-built for financial services provider State Street Corporation, comprises three main sections:

a 17-storey block clad in natural stone to the north, an eight-storey podium wing of clear-glass-curtain wall to the south and a natural-stone base, which enwraps the building on three sides.

Fläkt Woods engineers have designed a system that includes toilet extract fans, Box and Copford fans plus JM axial-flow fans that are fitted with inverters.

The JM fans are being used principally for ventilation.

Some of the JM fans are handling smoke ventilation at 300ºC for one hour, and others have been rated at standard temperature.
