Armstrong Pumps for London Development

“62 Buckingham Gate is a Land Securities development in the Victoria area of London, and will provide 252,000 sq ft of premium office space, together with street level access shops and restaurants. The 13-storey development has been designed to provide a highly flexible office environment, with large amounts of open-plan, column free space. When designing the HVAC systems for the development, main contractor Sir Robert McAlpine and M & E contractors N G Bailey outlined a number of priorities, including carbon reduction and best possible lifecycle costs. After consideration of the available product options, the pumps specified were 4300 Series split-coupled vertical inline models from Armstrong Fluid Technology, fitted with Suction Guides and Flo-Trex valves. The models specified for 62 Buckingham Gate are split coupled pumps, designed for greater ease of maintenance throughout their lifetimes. They feature external seals which enable all mechanical seal components to be withdrawn for servicing without the need to disturb other pump components or the motor connection. This reduces the time and cost elements of routine maintenance with a corresponding reduction in health and safety risk, as seals can be changed without the need for specialist lifting equipment. The pumps have been selected to allow for potential fluctuations in the design duties in the future. This means that additional load requirements can be accommodated if required, without the need to change impellers or motors, if there should be building changes at a later date.”
