ABOUT THE PROJECT

Famed for giving its name to Greenwich Mean Time, Greenwich is where Eastern and Western hemispheres meet, home to a World Heritage Site, home to London’s oldest Royal Park, London’s only cable car and to The O2 arena, where some of the biggest names in music perform live. Greenwich is packed with royal heritage, world class attractions and breathtaking views. Prime position, riverside living created around a vibrant public of London city, this is what Greenwich Wharf is. With its range of luxurious apartments and large penthouses at the top of each block providing magnificent views across and along the river Thames, Greenwich Wharf is one of the most desirable addresses.

SAFE UNDERGROUND PARKING

Novenco Building & Industry was involved with the initial design of this project for a very long time. The project has been on the shelf for some time during the recession, but has now been completed and handed over. Novenco Building & Industry designed a smoke clearance system with Jet Fans for the car park and the mezzanine area. The car park is very large and is designed on a fixed extract rate as per AD-B requirements (10ACH). The total extract rate is close to 650.000 m3/h for the whole car park.
Novenco Building & Industry was also engaged to do the detail design and installation of the extended corridor AOV system. Two cores with mechanical AOV systems were installed. The system is now also used for day-to-day ventilation of the mechanical risers throughout the building. Our Clear Choice control system controls all fire dampers and links with the door access control for release of the doors when a fire is detected by the system.
