The specialist contractor selects Prysmian鈥檚 FP200 Gold cable to power alarms in critical-research centre.

University College London鈥檚 new Institute for Cancer Studies is using Prysmian鈥檚 FP200 Gold fire-performance cable to help ensure the safety of more than 350 scientists who are currently involved in critical areas of research.

The 14 month-long development houses researchers investigating aspects of cancer prevention, early detection, basic biology and novel therapeutics.

The 拢35 million research centre, which is based in Bloomsbury, central London, covers five floors.

Chelmsford, Essex-based contractor Fisk Fire Group opted for FP200 Gold cable to power the extensive analogue addressable fire alarm systems.

The installation process was simplified by the application of Prysmian鈥檚 AP7 cable clips.

Senior estimator Tel Fisk says: 鈥淔rom a practical point of view, the cables look good once installed, providing a clean finish to complement the building鈥檚 contemporary design.鈥�
