SAFETY & SECURITY
Gilberts helps protect Government
The Government is investing in a series of hubs to better deliver public services as part of its levelling up strategy, and drive to improve resilience, productivity and effi ciency. One of the fi rst to become operational is Fletton Quays in Peterborough, where 1000+ staff will be kept safe by advanced smoke evacuation technology from Gilberts Blackpool. The seven-storey offi ce development Sand Martin House provides 8,000 m2 of fl exible workspace to address emerging working practice. Energy effi ciency has been a key design feature, to the extent that even the smoke evacuation system uses minimal energy to function. A 1.5 m2 BRE natural ventilation smoke shaft rises the full height of the building, to provide effective ventilation of smoke in the event of a fi re. The approach optimises natural buoyancy principles where the hot smoke rises and fresh air inlets drive the smoke upwards for extraction/exhaust. Gilberts’ innovative Series 60 smoke evacuations dampers have been chosen and installed to channel smoke into the riser. With low air leakage when closed, a motorised actuator opens the dampers to drive the smoke into the shaft in the event of a fi re.

PR.indd 1 TORMAX opens the door to work
Allowing clear and easy access for all jobseekers, TORMAX was contracted to install an automatic sliding entrance to a new Dundas Job Centre that was opened during the pandemic, under the government’s Plan for Jobs. With an external frontage located on a main through-fare within the local shopping centre, it was important that the Job Centre was made to be as welcoming as possible to every possible user. The bi-parting sliding doors are powered by the in-house designed TORMAX Win Drive 2201 operator, delivering smooth operation, even on the busiest of days. Housed in a casing that measure just 142 mm x 100 mm, the Win Drive is neat and compact, helping create a professional and contemporary aesthetic. Further encouraging jobseekers to enter, the entrance is fully compliant with current legislation, offering a wide-open doorway for the less able, as well as for those with buggies and prams, for example. Simple 2-key programming allows job centre staff to quickly adapt door opening and closing speeds to refl ect the volume of foot traffi c and weather, helping minimise heat loss from the reception area.
