Advanced’s high rise reputation sees it protect European landmark
G
lobal fire systems leader, Advanced, has been specified on another landmark tall building. Set to stand
at 62-storeys high, 22 Bishopsgate in the City of London will, on completion, become the second-tallest building in Western Europe. The 278m office building will offer 1,275 of high specification office space,
million ft2
as well as eight community spaces, covering over 100,000 ft2
, including an innovation
hub, curated gallery space, fresh food market, gym and wellbeing retreat. Once completed, Advanced will protect both of Western Europe’s tallest buildings, with 22 Bishopsgate being the latest in a long line of London’s most prestigious and iconic skyscrapers specifying Advanced, including the Shard, the Leadenhall Building, the Heron Tower and the HSBC Tower. At the centre of the active fire protection
for 22 Bishopsgate are over 80 networked MxPro 5 panels with graphic display and BMS integration, alongside three special build

panels for the building’s Fire Command Centre, that will form part of the intelligent fire detection network. Advanced’s panels are used alongside Apollo’s Soteria detectors and its networking is widely regarded as the most resilient and scalable solution on the market. It can be expanded up to 200 node networks covering huge areas with complicated cause-and-effect. As a UK-first, 22 Bishopsgate will utilise a
specially developed lift-evacuation strategy in case of fire. The building is separated into
four vertical areas by fire-hardened slabs with a two-hour fire rating separating a floor from the one above at levels 26, 42 and 58. Depending on which of the four vertical areas of the building a fire is detected, workers on that floor and the floors above egress via fire escape stairs to the area below and from there can evacuate via the lifts, safe in the knowledge that these are protected by the slabs above. Responsible for every aspect of installation
of the fire system from design to completion, PHF Fire, a division of PHF Electrical, used Advanced for its market-leading networking capabilities, best suited to managing a network of this size and complexity. Advanced is a world leader in the
development and manufacture of intelligent fire systems. The performance, quality and ease of use of its products sees Advanced specified in locations all over the world.

uk.advancedco.com Modern flooring for historic Spanish City dining and leisure centre
The historic Spanish City utilised flooring solutions from Flowcrete UK in its 2018 restoration project that saw its Edwardian features brought back to life. “The Dome” first opened its doors in 1910 and was a hub of activity and interest to the residents of Whitley Bay and visitors alike. Almost eighteen years after its closure, North Tyneside Council has reopened Spanish City and restored it to its former glory, thanks to support from the National Lottery Heritage Fund and its players. Kevin Potter, Flowcrete UK’s Managing Director, said: “With the devil being in the detail, the expertise of Flowcrete UK was called upon to find the ideal flooring solution for the dome area that would merge Spanish City’s early twentieth century heritage with modern building technology.” Over 500 m2
of the semi-dry cementitious Isocrete K screed and Isocrete K Screed HDP
was installed alongside underfloor heating, in order to provide a heavy-duty base for the resin flooring. To pay homage to the twentieth century glamour, 200 m2
of the decorative seamless terrazzo system Mondéco
Earth was chosen in two complementary colours to form concentric circles around the dome. 01270 753000
