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.
