A residential development in Canary Wharf, London, has reached a significant milestone. With leading developer Canary Wharf group building residential apartment on the 10 Park Drive site, the building has recently been topped out, reaching its full height of 149 metres above ground level. It will offer 345 homes when completed in the final quarter of 2019. “This is an exciting step in the construction of 10 Park Drive, both for the area and for us at Canary Wharf Group as we top out our first residences on the Estate. The work that has gone into the development so far has been phenomenal, and we look forward to it reaching completion and for the first residents to move into Canary Wharf,” said Brian De’ath, Director of Residential Sales at Canary Wharf Group. “Some of our purchasers camped out overnight to be able to secure a home at 10 Park Drive which I strongly believe says a great deal about the quality of the offering here. The extensive calendar of events, diverse community and excellent transport links on the Estate are making it an increasingly hard location to beat within the London property market,” Brian added. 10 Park Drive has been designed by Stanton Williams Architects and it forms a key part of Canary Wharf’s new residential district, Wood Wharf, alongside neighbouring residential development, One Park Drive. It will comprise 74 studios, 115 one-bedroom apartments, 141 two-bedroom apartments and 15 three-bedroom apartments. The apartments’ design maximises the light and vistas of the surroundings at every opportunity, with interiors developed by Make Architects. Residents of 10 Park Drive will have access to a private sky terrace on the 13th floor, with bookable facilities and free use of shared spaces. The development sits adjacent to South Dock and is linked to the water by landscaped gardens and parks. Purchasers will also have access to a state-of-the-art new health and fitness club with a swimming pool, jacuzzi, sauna, steam room and fitness class studio.
The Shuttle Intelligent Fire Door Retainer has been launched by Bull Products. This latest fire protection product is an intelligent fire safety device designed to close fire doors quickly during an emergency, which makes it an ideal solution for construction sites where there are multiple fire doors that are propped open during work on site. With fire doors becoming a major requirement in the fire risk management plan, as written into HSG168 and other safety standards, it is illegal to prop or hold fire doors open with door stops or other items. The Shuttle Intelligent Fire Door retainer provides a legal way of holding fire doors open, but closing upon a fire signal. “According to HSE, each year there are a number of serious fires on construction sites and buildings undergoing refurbishment – many of which could be avoided by careful planning and control of work activities,” said Bradley Markham, Director at Bull Products. Shuttle has been designed to react only to the acoustic signature of the learnt alarm sound and will discard all other alarm sounds, thanks to its dual listening technology. Once na alarm sounds, the device activates the fire door to close, ensuring fire escape routes are protected at all times. With flexible setting of times and dates and an intuitive setup menu, Shuttle is easy to use and offers additional features including the easy night release function and a fault reader. “We are delighted to be offering customers a brand new product that we believe will take fire safety to new heights and ensure workers’ safety is front of mind,” Bradley concluded. Bull Products is an independently-owned manufacturer and importer of life-saving products for the construction industry. Its core range of innovative products include fire protection and fall arrest equipment, but with the ever increasing customer demand, Bull have carefully selected a range of environmental products, signage and first aid solutions to enhance and complete a truly world class offering.
