development of a uniquely efficient electrical reticulation system with minimum cost per amp and maximum flexibility .
The mall lighting design , developed in conjunction with the architect , uses a high daylight factor component , and at night lighting effectively transforms the mall , lending it a stimulating “ high street ” ambience . The use of solar switches and time clocks ensure that all but the highest impact mall lighting is turned off during the day contributing to the mall being experienced as a bright , open-air space . At night strategically placed lighting highlights interesting details and creates a “ high street ” atmosphere with contrasts between the mall and shopfront lighting generating excitement and interest . Combining these techniques has resulted in a vibrant and exciting mall , while employing a design of unprecedented economy .
The supply of electrical power to the individual tenants was carefully designed , using extensive historical data to determine their predicted loads . Further investigations produced a uniquely costeffective reticulation system incorporating a high degree of flexibility delivered at a cost per amp of less than half that of conventional systems .
pressure for fire protection . The efficiency of the escape routes is unusually high due to the carefully planning with the architect ensuring the efficient layout of the Centre for circulation and escape purposes .
An extensive natural and powered venting smoke extraction system has been designed for the entire Centre ensuring that the hot gas and smoke lay height is maintained above head height for the design 5MW fire .
RATIONAL FIRE AND WET FIRE DESIGN COMMENT SolutionStation Consulting Engineers were appointed as the rational fire and wet fire designers for the shopping complex .
Due to the low pressure and flow rates experienced in the area , a storage system for both the hydrant and sprinkler installations was designed , along with the necessary electrical and dieselbacked-up pumps to ensure adequate flow and
