Princes House – Jermyn Street, London

The historic building that is Princes House, situated in London’s Jermyn Streeet, already had an existing fire alarm system, which had reached the end of its working life. It had become obsolete and could no longer be modified to meet the changes to the building as they arose.

MBE Consultants were asked to devise a solution involving radio devices. MBE chose WFP (Fire & Security) to design and install a radio system throughout the premises; one that answered the specific needs of the client. This system incorporated an air sampling system to cover the atrium and lift shafts, with links to the adjacent BAFTA building and the building directly beneath, housing a night club.

This installation was carried out in the fully occupied building, across all seven floors. In all, over 300 devices were installed, without any major disruption to the building and its users.
