Power and Prestige for FG Wilson: 1 and 2 New Ludgate, London
FG Wilson generator sets are often found in some of London’s most prestigious buildings. The company is also involved with the premises of 1 and 2 New Ludgate, a new development by Land Securities, the largest commercial property company in the UK and listed in the Financial Times Stock Exchange 100 companies, was named as The City of London Building of the Year 2016 and its architects are currently shortlisted for Architect of the Year, reports UKPN.
L
ondon, 2017: A £260 million develop- ment, New Ludgate is made up of two distinct buildings united by a new public piazza, completely transforming an area which had been neglected and under- used. The buildings include more than 355,000 square feet of office accommodation and 26,800 square feet of restaurant and retail facilities.
Bells Power, a company which has represented FG Wilson as a dealer for 30 years, initially engaged with design consultant Waterman Building Services in 2010, however due to economic uncertainty, the project was put on hold, then restarted in 2013. Keeping its project team in place, Bells
Power was able to respond quickly and deliver a power package of six FG Wilson generator sets and PLCs across both buildings within a year, from order to commissioning.
The brief for 1 New Ludgate was to supply,
install and commission three generator sets: two P1700P1 for tenants and one P800P1 for life safety at basement level B1. The 1700 kVA sets are remotely cooled with roof DACs and Bells Power had responsibility for the installation and acoustic and ventilation systems.
The acoustic requirement was 65 dB(A) at 1 metre and catalysts were installed on each set for emissions.
“The scale of this project was huge, with both buildings being worked on at the same time. The main contractor, Skanska, was committed to a very
ambitious programme.”
