ONE WAY OPTION

摘要

The first smoke control system of its type in the UK is being installed at The Shires shopping centre in Leicester, which is undergoing refurbishment as part of the council's strategy to regenerate the city. Designed as a seamless extension of the existing site, the mixed use development will more than double the amount of retail space. The development will incorporate Leicester's first multiplex cinema and contemporary city-style accommodation, with open streets and squares centred around a retail core, and a cafe and restaurant quarter. The development has employed a wide range of technologies, including smoke control and day-to-day ventilation, firefighting shafts, and mechanical and natural smoke extraction. Colt is providing an innovative smoke control system for the car parks and connecting tunnels, with the design proven by CFD modelling and adhering to recently published guidance.
