ith the use of Wieland products, the Belmont office redevelopment
project in Uxbridge exceeds regulatory requirements in the provision of a sustainable and innovative solution – and it is anticipated that the CAT A office redevelopment will result in the building achieving a BREEAM ‘Excellent’ rating. Aviva Investors’ 125,000sq ft Belmont project
has reached practical completion. This follows an 18-month, £30m schedule of works which saw the building stripped back to its frame and rebuilt to create Grade A offices. Large, light filled, agile open plan floor plates – averaging 26,500sq ft – have been created over five levels. Wieland’s Metalynx2
was specified by contractors Phoenix ME Limited, to supply lighting and power to the office spaces, and lighting in the landlord’s core areas from the ground floor to the fourth floor. Metalynx2

requirements located above ceilings as it is easy and quick to install making it the perfect choice for contractors. Phoenix installed Wieland home runs in the
tenants’ office space and master distribution boxes in the ceiling void which serve the LCMs and FCUs using Wieland’s lighting and power extender cables fixed to the soffits. The FCUs have been supplied with

Wieland’s fused spur ‘T’s to connect the power extenders and the LCMs with lighting tees that connect with the lighting extenders. For landlord areas, each light fitting was supplied with a Wieland lighting tee already connected so that leads can be plugged in immediately as light fittings are installed, which dramatically reduces second and final fix durations in the main core areas. Craig Batten, Project Manager at Phoenix and the relevant Wieland
said: “Metalynx2
products we used made this installation very straightforward. The products are extremely
easy to install, which ensured that the work was carried out within our dedicated timescale.”

A major refurbishment of an historic building on North Shields fish quay has seen CP Electronics presence detectors playing a crucial role – saving installation time for the contractor and reducing energy consumption for the client.
T
he 16th Century, the Old Low Light is a Grade II listed building, the oldest of its
kind on the North Shields fish quay. For centuries, the Old Low light was a major part of the North Shields fishing community, where its lighthouse helped guide generations of mariners to safety across the turbulent waters of the Tyne. Having fallen into disrepair, local enthusiasts set about bringing the building back to life and with the support of North Tyneside Council, and funds from the Townscape Heritage Initiative and the Coastal Community Fund (CCF), the building was renovated before re-opening in March 2015. This project saw a complete re-vamp of the
interior with a café, shop and top floor venue for hire to the public. In particular, the specification of MW3SA
microwave presence detectors helped control lighting levels, as lighting is only in use when the room is occupied. This helps reduce energy consumption when the room is vacant. The MWS3A has a unique presence detection

provides automatic control of lighting loads with optional manual control. The PIR can turn lights on when a room is occupied, and off when the room is empty. Drawing on decades of experience in energy-
capability with an adjustable head. The innovative locking mechanism allows the MW3SA to be fixed in position to ensure optimal detection patterns depending on the application. Featuring a plug-in connection design, the MW3SA makes installers’ lives easier by simplifying installation and reducing installation time. Functionality is fully programmable using the UHS5 or UNLCDHS programming handsets from CP Electronics. Working with the MW3SA, the EBDSPIR range of passive infrared (PIR) presence detector
saving lighting controls, the solutions delivered by CP Electronics were extraordinarily well received. Guy Moody, Manager at Old Low Light, commented: “As a charity, we need to be extremely cost-conscious at all times. The solutions provided by CP Electronics will help minimise energy wastage and, therefore, cost.” Simon Fletcher of Fletcher Electrical, the
contractor involved on the project, explained: “The simple, intuitive design of CP’s range of presence detection products helped save a huge amount of time on the project. This allowed us to deliver, on time and within budget. On top of that, the customer was over the moon and the end result looked great.”
