A range of products including special distribution modules and pluggable DBs from Wieland Electric have been used for the connection of lighting and power in the newly refurbished Adelphi Building, overlooking London’s Victoria Embankment.
The £30m refurbishment incorporates 190,000sq ft of open plan offices whilst maintaining the integrity of the original architecture for owner Blackstone.
Designer Group undertook the design, supply and installation of all the works and specified Wieland for the installation. Wieland created the general circuit plan for the DALI lighting scheme.
Wieland’s 5 pole distribution modules with 10 outputs were used in place of a general LCM system and included extenders, tees and FCUs feeding the luminaires and fan coil units.
The MDBs within the project utilised two DALI pairs in home runs instead of the usual one. The use of Wieland’s pluggable DB system also allowed for quick installation as the units were delivered ready to connect on site.
This not only reduces installation time but reduces the risk of any connectivity errors as the units are tested and approved before they reach the site and are simply plugged in.
Using the Wieland system for this project has reduced installation time from days to hours and has been estimated at a 70% reduction in connectivity.
