The ‘Al Sour Office Tower’, which is currently under construction in the heart of Kuwait City, with M & E installation being carried out by ETA, is yet another example of a project that will provide its eventual tenants with the protection of a ‘central battery’ Cooper JSB emergency lighting solution.
“The complete emergency lighting system is specified to cover more than 800 luminaires within a ‘central battery’ modular format and will be capable of being fully integrated into the project’s Building Management System [BMS] via an Easicheck-interface,” noted KEC’s Gee Varghese, Team Leader Life-Safety.
“The installation will also feature two ‘JSB’ inverters, rated at 15KVA and 18KVA, backing up all the emergency and exit light fittings for 3hours supported by batteries with a 10 year design life” he added.
Commissioning of the system will be undertaken by KEC’s rapidly expanding Systems Solutions team.
