A little ‘extra’ for St Pancras Square
Manufacturer Fujitsu works closely with consulting building services engineers Troup Bywaters + Anders on London’s exciting new King’s Cross redevelopment project
Havas Media Group, at 3 Pancras Square, King’s Cross, London. When consulting building services engineers
F
Troup Bywaters + Anders commenced work on one of the largest and most exciting redevelopments in London, they sought a reliable manufacturer that they could trust to work with. The building at 3 Pancras Square is an imposing
structure, designed by Porphyrios Associates, standing at the north east corner of Pancras Square at the very heart of the spectacular new development. The building comprises 11 storeys including three private roof terraces, with Fujitsu wall-mounted fan coil units being chosen by the consultant Troup Bywaters + Anders London to provide the critical cooling to the UPS, SER and AV rooms. The consultant designed a 2N Resilience arrangement which entailed doubling up on the required number of fan coil units in each respective room. At any one time only 50 per cent of the fan coil units will be operating. The other 50 per cent would be energised in the event of a change-over of circuits or in the event of failure. Fujitsu also supplied its latest ‘state-of-the-art’
central touch panel controller which has been interfaced to the building’s BMS system and is capable of remote internet access providing the maintenance contractor with the ability to change temperature settings, alternate the use of circuits and provide full fault alert and remote diagnostic capability. Asim Naseer senior mechanical engineer at Troup Bywaters + Anders commented: “We needed an equipment selection which would be easy to install
ujitsu Air Conditioning (UK) has supplied VRF Heat Pump systems for the prestigious new office building of global communications giant,
and easy to operate, provide the critical cooling capability and resilience according to our design specification and satisfy our client’s stringiest requirements.
It was also important that the procurement of the equipment was cost effective and that the extended warranty by the manufacturer would protect HAVAS (our client). Backed up by outstanding technical support throughout the project we feel that Fujitsu has provided excellent value overall. Mark Derriman, Fujitsu’s VRF Business development manager commented: “Consultants are crucial to the success of many projects, from the iconic to the everyday. Their specialist expertise is critical for refurbishment projects and vital for those projects involving creative digital media such as this one. The consultant ensures that the project is designed and efficiently delivered for their clients. Fujitsu understands this and works with them at every stage of the process, starting with the design stage, and equally importantly, continuing this support throughout the project’s installation programme with technical back-up and observations. Every project must be treated with the utmost care to ensure that the consultant and their clients are delivered exactly what was intended, on time, and crucially, on budget. It is great to work closely with vibrant consultancies such as Troup Bywaters + Anders whose professional involvement guaranteed the success of this project.” The building was completed during summer 2016; with the fit-out following on. The main contractor appointed for the project was Structure Tone which specialises in high quality fit out and refurbishment projects and appointed mechanical contractor was Michael J Lonsdale, a leading services contractor.
Kaz Glander, contracts manager for MJL has
commented: “Fujitsu supplied the equipment in an organised and timely manner. The equipment installation has proceeded well and technical back up and commissioning assistance by Fujitsu has been very good”. Mark Derriman, added: “We are delighted to have
been involved in such a prestigious project. Cooling is critical to the operation of the media group Havas, and we are pleased to have been selected for such a high-profile and important element. We are proud to have contributed to the success of the project, and to the ongoing success of Havas.” Fujitsu Air Conditioning (UK) is part of the Fujitsu
Group, the global engineering and electronics specialist. Fujitsu Air Conditioning supplies innovative, reliable and energy efficient air conditioning products.
Asim Naseer added: “During the design phase we
consulted various manufacturers and built a comparison schedule. Fujitsu solution ticked all our boxes including reliability, compliance and energy efficiency. As someone has said the difference between ordinary and extraordinary is just that little “extra”. Fujitsu met all of our considerations plus this little extra; an excellent backup on site.” Mark Derriman concluded: “Working directly with
the consultant from the early conception of the project design through to commissioning and hand- over has been vital to the success of this prestigious project. As part of the team we were able to work with the consultants to deliver a project that we can all be very proud of. Successful projects such as these remind us just how much there is to be gained when manufacturer and consultant work together .”
