No. 1 West India Quay is part of a stunning new development in the prestigious Canary Wharf area. Rising 33 storeys above the quayside into this unique 21st century skyline, the building combines six spectacular penthouses, 152 luxury apartments, 47 serviced apartments, the 5* Marriott Hotel, car parking and restaurant, and leisure facilities, all within one landmark building. All in an ideal location for visiting museums, many famous sightseeing attractions and only 15 minutes by tube to London's West End. As part of the fire strategy, Colt UK was employed by Shepherd Engineering Services to design and install pressurisation systems in the stairs to protect the means of escape for occupants and allow safe access for fire fighters in this building, which is more than 100 metres high. In addition, Colt designed and installed a system for individual room cooling for the hotel bedrooms and private apartments, using over 1,100 fan coils and 8 air handling units. The tower at Canary Wharf is now an established London landmark, standing at 244 metres high. It dominates London's eastern skyline, and is the tallest office building in Britain. The designers decided upon a 40 metre high stainless steel louvre pyramid as the pinnacle of the tower, which would be illuminated at night. Colt UK worked closely with the project team to design, develop and install a stainless steel louvre profile which met the pyramid's aesthetic requirements, and didn't deflect under wind speeds of 75 mph. Made entirely from stainless steel weighing over 100 tons, the pyramid is 30 metres square at its base. Lights are fixed to the inside of the blades to illuminate the structure.
