F
at the Landmark Pinnacle marks another tall-building win for the manufacturer who, in 2019, announced its specification at Western Europe’s second tallest building, 22 Bishopsgate. Standing 75 floors high at the head of the
SouthDock in the heart of CanaryWharf, the Landmark Pinnacle is the tallest residential building in Europe with more habitable floors than any other building in London, the UK and Europe. With prices starting from £480,000 and amenities including a roof garden, gym, private dining facilities and a cinema, London’s latest skyscraper, at 239 meters tall, offers stunning views across London and the surrounding counties. Four market-leading 8-loop and two
4-loop intelligent MxPro 5 fire panels alongside three repeater panels have been installed by Bedfordshire-based Firelec Controls Limited – responsible for the design, installation, testing and commissioning of the fire system. The MxPro 5 panels are networked with the tower’s BMS using BACnet, include a custom graphics package and link to over 140 AOV
ire alarm control panels from UK manufacturer, Advanced, have been installed on yet another landmark
vents and sprinklers with phased evacuation between floors. Richard Randall, managing director at
Firelec, said: “Advanced panels are our first choice every time, combining reliability and superior technical ability. Given the nature and size of the Landmark Pinnaclewe needed a high level of protection to secure the public areas of the building and thanks to Advanced’s vast cause and effect capabilities they were the ideal solution for this installation project.” The MxPro 5 is the unbeatable
multiprotocol fire system. Approved to EN54-2,4&13, it offers four protocols, Apollo, Argus, Hotchiki and Nittan and a completely open installer network that benefits from free training and technical support. Panels can be used in single-loop, single-panel format or easily configured into high-speed, 200 panel networks covering huge areas. MxPro 5 panels are backwardly compatible with existing MxPro 4 networks and include a host of features including AlarmCalm complete false alarm management and reduction.

manager at Advanced, said: “Landmark Pinnacle is the latest in a long line of tall buildings to benefit from Advanced protection, including western
