Read Full ArticleThe G4S Fire and Security team are working with building services contractor Briggs & Forrester on three high-profile real estate projects across the UK.
One of these projects is The Cocoa Works in York, the former home of the Rowntree factory. The Cocoa Works will be redeveloped into 279 luxury apartments with community spaces and landscaped gardens.
G4S will employ security features such as a Honeywell GENT fire detection system and assisted toilet system, as well as an access control platform to control access to key areas, and a video surveillance platform and video intercom to keep residents secure.
135 Park Street is a new 12-storey, 148,486 sq. ft building which will provide 131,900 sq. ft of office space, 12,900 sq. ft of affordable workspace, and a further 1,500 sq. ft of retail space to extend the cultural regeneration of Bankside eastwards.
This project will be delivered to achieve specific UKGBC Upfront Carbon targets, which focus on an overall reduction in carbon associated with construction activities and building materials.
G4S will be supporting the project with Honeywell GENT fire and communication systems, together with a Baldwin Boxall refuge system and C-Tec assisted toilet.
