WIELAND MAKES A QUICK CONNECTION AT PROJECT HANA
A BREATH OF FRESH AIR
Wieland Electric has supplied its popular Metalynx2 modular wiring system and a variety of the company’s GST products for Project Hana, a two floor CAT B fit out commercial property at St Martin’s Court in the City of London in a prime location next to St Pauls Cathedral.
We design and manufacture world class respiratory protection
The Wieland products were specified and installed by Phoenix ME Ltd with the Metalynx2 system used to feed the lighting control modules and fan coil units throughout the building whilst the GST system was used in all prefabricated modular areas to provide a connection for linear light fittings. Thanks to its innovative design, Metalynx2 uses a minimum number of components, all of which lock together for secure installation and in full compliance with all relevant standards, representing a smarter generation of structured wiring that delivers even greater savings on costs and installation time. It is ideal for power distribution, lighting control (including DALI and KNX) and fan coil units and, with the ability to customise Metalynx2 components for special projects, it offers infinite design flexibility. As Project Hana was a fast pace refurbishment, it was paramount that all systems and components would arrive on site in the agreed timescale. Wieland designed, plotted and fabricated all requirements off site which when delivered, allowed for easy installation by Phoenix to ensure connection simply from the home run being installed back to Switchboard +44 330 808 8935 the distribution board and the final runs to the lighting control modules ukhelpdesk@srsafety.com and fan Email coil units. As all connections and end runs have a plug and play based system, this also allowed for second fix connections to be completed quickly and effortlessly.

Regular inhalation, of even small quantities of construction dust, can damage the lungs and respiratory airways over the course of time. Some diseases can develop quite quickly, but in many cases, it can take 10 to 30 years before symptoms become apparent. Unfortunately, by the time the problem is noticed, irreparable damage is often done, and it can be difficult or impossible to treat.

The largest particles, which are visible, are captured by the body’s natural defences, and remain, in most cases in the nose, mouth and throat.

Respiratory protection
When all other measures have been taken to reduce dangerous exposure levels, respiratory protection equipment is the last, but an important, means of preventing hazardous air contamination entering the body, via the airways.
