Prysmian\u2019s FP Plus cable was installed during an overhaul of the fire protection and detection system at Edinburgh University\u2019s College of Art.<\/p><\/div>\n

Over 5km of FP PLUS fire resistant cable from Prysmian has been installed in Edinburgh College of Art as part of a significant upgrade to fire protection systems in two of the Lauriston Campus buildings.<\/p>\n

The University of Edinburgh\u2019s plans for an overhaul of fire protection at the College of Art to ensure fire detection and fire alarm systems are providing adequate protection, included a review of existing measures, leading to the decision to replace all the alarms throughout the 1970s\u2019 Hunter Building and 1960s\u2019 Architecture Building.<\/p>\n

The project involved the installation of a state-of-the-art fire alarm and voice evacuation system with enhanced fire resistant cable.<\/p>\n

Consulting Engineer Kevin Keenan from The Keenan Consultancy had no hesitation in specifying the FP PLUS cable. \u201cWe have been specifying the FP products for many years. In this instance we used the top-of-therange FP PLUS because it is the highest performing cable on the market and the University of Edinburgh wanted that assured level of performance.\u201d<\/p>\n

The combination of Prysmian\u2019s unique enhanced Insudite insulation material with a low smoke and zero halogen outer sheath provide safe, robust performance with flexibility. It is most commonly used for fire alarm and emergency lighting circuits as defined by BS5839 series and BS5266-1 and approved by third parties BASEC and LPCB for this use.\u201cWe particularly needed the cable to be flexible in order to accommodate the irregular shape of the building,\u201d Kevin Keenan continued.<\/p>\n

Contractor ChrisPullen of JG Mackintosh is always happy to work with the product. \u201cWe use FP products all the time and they are very easy to work with. For example, while the cable is very flexible \u2013 allowing for easy fixing \u2013 it holds its shape when you\u2019re laying it out rather than springing back into a coil. It\u2019s also easier than others when it comes to stripping back the ends. These sound like minor issues, but on site they really do save time \u2013 and that\u2019s important when you\u2019re working to tight margins.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Hunter and Architecture Buildings are the first phase of an ongoing upgrading project across the Lauriston Campus. This phase of the project was due to complete in September 2015.<\/p>\n
