About the project:
Designed by Patrick Lynch, Land Securities’ new Zig Zag and Kings Gate buildings replace the former Kingsgate House on London’s Victoria Street. The two 12-storey buildings provide shops and restaurants on the ground and mezzanine floors, along with 190,000 sq ft of stunning commercial office space (exclusively let by Deutsche Bank), thoroughfares, gardens and a sophisticated public art strategy.
Power supplied:
We supplied two 800KVA generator sets for life safety in the East and West wings, along with two high voltage 1825kva gen sets for the landlord’s systems, complete with hot stand-by PLC control system for high voltage network and main switchboard.
Application:
Installed in sub basement level two – one level above the London underground – the two 16.5t generators were transported in small components and entirely re-built in the basement, with N plus 1 street-level forced air for cooling. The sets provide the main back-up power supply for every floor of the entire complex.
Why DTGen:
We have a strong, proven track record in delivering complex systems in the retail and commercial office sectors, and have a long standing relationship with Land Securities.
