Hochiki Chosen to Protect New London Eurostar Terminus

A variety of Hochiki devices were selected, each chosen for its proven ability to combat particular fire risks in the huge multi-activity station.  They included optical smoke sensors for back office and main passenger concourse areas, multi-sensors for more challenging environments such as plant rooms and workshops, heat detectors in kitchens and toilets and audio visual devices and base sounder beacons.

A key factor cited by Peter Patrick for the decision to opt for the Hochiki / Kentec solution was that Kentec panels are fully compatible with all of Hochiki’s ESP protocol devices.  A factor which influenced the same strategy being adopted to protect the two other new stations on the rail link, Ebbsfleet International near Dartford in Kent, and the new Stratford International Station near the City/Canary Wharf that is also central to the 2012 Olympic transport strategy, with forecasted passenger volumes of 25,000 a day to and from the Olympic Games’ venues. 

However, technical performance was not the only consideration with which Peter Patrick had to contend.
