Summary Case Study:
Heathrow Airport
London
Provision of sprinkler system infrastructure throughout Terminal T1
Upgrade of both central terminal area water pump stations so to be compliant with sprinkler design codes
The Scheme:
The scheme involved the provision of a new fire protection infrastructure to Terminal 1 Heathrow so to accommodate retail modules never envisaged under the original building Fire Strategy, enabling commercial activities to use previously restricted locations. As a subsequent exercise both the central terminal area water supply pumpstations were completely refurbished with new plant to facilitate a water supply suitable for fire protection use.
Our Role:
The role consisted of surveying, reporting and designing the whole sprinkler infrastructure throughout the βliveβ Terminal 1 building, both landside and airside, and supervising the subsequent installation works to provide a fully compliant and certified arrangement upon completion. As a secondary exercise, the company surveyed and designed the full upgrade scheme to both central terminal area water supply pump stations, then supervised the installations works including testing and commissioning.
Challenges & Collaboration:
Working within a βliveβ building and within very strict construction protocol as required by Heathrow Airport, including maintaining a suitable water supply whilst taking 50% of the pumping capacity off-line for refurbishment. Also, finding pipework routes within the existing in-situ cast reinforced concrete structure for the new installation.
Commitment to Sustainability and the Environment:
The company deliver design solutions based on the cornerstone of sustainability, environmental integrity, economic viability and social well-being.
