et to stand at 62-storeys high, 22
Bishopsgate in the City of London will,
on completion, become the second-
tallest building in Western Europe.
The 278m office building will offer 1.275
million sq. ft of high specification office
space, as well as eight community spaces,
covering over 100,000 sq ft, including an
innovation hub, curated gallery space, fresh
food market, gym and wellbeing retreat.
Once completed, Advanced will protect both
of Western Europe’s tallest buildings, with 22
Bishopsgate being the latest in a long line of
London’s most prestigious and iconic
skyscrapers specifying Advanced, including
the Shard, the Leadenhall Building, the Heron
Tower and the HSBC Tower.
At the centre of the active fire protection
for 22 Bishopsgate are over 80 networked
MxPro 5 panels with graphic display and
BMS integration, alongside three special build
panels for the building’s Fire Command
Centre, that will form part of the intelligentfire detection network. Advanced’s panels are
used alongside Apollo’s Soteria detectors and
its networking is widely regarded as the most
resilient and scalable solution on the market.
It can be expanded up to 200 node networks
covering huge areas with complicated cause-
and-effect.
In order to meet building requirements, the
MxPro 5 panels also run Advanced’s
AlarmCalm false alarm management
software with investigation delays and
detailed options for alarm verification.
AlarmCalm uses Advanced’s fast hardware,
updated config software and optional loopverification devices to deliver a system that
allows the false alarm strategy for 22
Bishopsgate to be quickly and easily
programmed and managed, increasing safety
and reducing false alarms.
The three custom-made panels; a wet riser
panel, sprinkler panel and fire and voice
alarm panel, were all designed and
manufactured by Advanced’s AdSpecials
department who worked closely with the
client to fulfil a brief for a bespoke solution,
both to budget and to deadline.
As a UK-first, 22 Bishopsgate will utilise
a specially developed lift-evacuation strategy
in case of fire. Responsible for every aspect
of installation of the fire system from
design to completion, PHF Fire, a division
of PHF Electrical, used Advanced for its
market-leading networking capabilities,

Resiblockhas seen not one, but two of its
Commercial Sealers specified for use at the
new £300 million Defence College of
Logistics, Policing and Administration in
Worthy Downs, Hampshire. Resiblock ‘22’
has been installed to seal over 2,300m² on
Connaught Road (the road leading up to Worthy Downs Barracks),
ensuring that the block paving will remain stabilised under the weight
of all footfall and vehicular traffic. Additionally, Resiblock Resiecco
was utilised to seal around 1,200m² of pathways, small roads and
presentation areas around the College Building.
