Building tenant, McQ, part of the internationally renowned Alexander McQueen brand, wanted the building interior &#8211; which consisted of ground-level retail space and four office floors &#8211; transformed from the original, narrow, intricate and mazelike layout into a single, open series of connected retail space across all five floors. The Elta units were intended to provide emergency smoke extraction and pressurisation of the lift shafts and stairwells for the newly refurbished layout.<\/p>\n<p>The order, for the two long-cased SmokeVent Axial 1250mm fans and eight long-cased Axial 500mm fans from Elta secured through distributor SK Sales of Thanet, was initially placed as single units. But a last minute change of plan saw the fans to be used as &#8216;Run &amp; Standby&#8217; pairs in &#8216;Series Set&#8217;. This meant that the two units intended to provide pressurisation within the lift shafts, had to be changed to 560mm fans bolted together and supplied with larger motors. The remaining six original 500mm units, which were for the pressurisation of the stairwells, simply required the necessary change of blade angle carried out at Elta&#8217;s Kingswinford factory, to enable them to be bolted together for use in tandem within the required set-up.<\/p>\n<p>M&amp;E sub-contractor for the prestigious project was HSE Building Services based in London Bridge. The main consultant was London based firm Kehr &amp; Tucker who specified the use of Elta&#8217;s units from the outset. Elta&#8217;s long-cased SmokeVent fans are of robust, heavy duty construction to offer strength and durability. Unit casings are heavy-gauge, sheet steel, roll-formed, welded and hot dip galvanised.<\/p>\n<p>The range has been specifically developed for emergency smoke extraction as part of the main extraction system or as dedicated units for the emergency clearance of smoke or fumes. The adjustable pitch, aerofoil section impellers have blades made from high quality, die cast aluminum.<\/p>\n<p>The all metal, long-cased 500mm Elta Axial fan is also of a very durable and robust construction. The casings are constructed from a heavy gauge, mild sheet steel, rolled, spun flanged and fully welded, then hot-dip galvanised to BS EN ISO 1461:2009 after fabrication. Motors and adjustable pitch, axial impellers are both mounted within the length of the casing \u2013 the impellers being factory set to meet specific customer requirements and supplied with blades made from high quality cast aluminum, GRP or carbon-loaded composite.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ten units from UK fan manufacturer Elta have featured in the recent refurbishment of the latest London retail outlet for McQ, the high end contemporary brand from the luxury fashion house Alexander McQueen.
