No 1, Dublin Landings
25th September 2018

Assured passive fire protection for a spectacular central atrium in Dublin city centre’s largest new commercial development has been provided by over 300m2 of PROMAT Systemglas Ferro.

Installed by Allied, the butt-jointed, steel framed fire resistant glazing system has been used to create all the glass screens which encapsulate the atrium at the heart of No. 1 Dublin Landings. Part of Ballymore and Oxley’s scheme with an investment value of €700m, this is the key office building within the one million sq. ft. mixed use joint development on North Wall Quay on the banks of the River Liffey.

The central atrium rises through the Arrow/RKD Architects designed building, with each level featuring Systemglas Ferro as a floor to ceiling glazed screen. The system provides assured fire protection with integrity and insulation (EI) for 30 minutes and the ability to withstand an impact load of up to a 1.5kN.

Tim Evans, Managing Director at Allied said: “The specification had to be right, with no margin for error, and that applied to the fire resistant screens around the atrium as much as anything else. We very much share Promat’s ‘Specified for a Reason’ ethos, and with their support, we have been able to deliver an outstanding result which reflects the significance of Dublin Landings and provides assured fire protection for people and assets should the worst ever happen.”
