Prestigious Morocco Mall fire safe
Exuvent/Brakel supplies aesthetic custom-made systems
Morocco Mall in Casablanca, which is due for completion very soon, is an ultramodern commercial centre that offers copious daylight ingress, and which is expected to attract some 14 million visitors annually. This prominent project comprises some 70,000 m² of commercial space and a further 30,000 m² intended for recreational purposes. Martifer awarded our partner Exuvent the contract to supply the smoke and heat extraction system for this prestigious centre, to ensure that visitors can at least evacuate the premises safely in the event of fire. This called for the production of custom-made systems…
Large bottom-hinged windows with a big opening angle
The initial design was for over 300 no. of smoke ventilation windows.
However, a closely coordinated approach by Exuvent and Brakel enabled them to reduce this figure to 153 windows in a range of 30 sizes. This was due to the fact that Brakel was able to supply thermally insulated Ventria bottom hinged windows in large sizes (approx. 1.5 x 3.3 metres) combined with big opening angles (> 61º, which yields optimum Cv values). The glazing weight is 45 kg/m² in this case. Brakel supplied the Ventria smoke and heat ventilation windows with a preassembled, dual compressed air system.
Bottom hinged windows distributed throughout glazed roofs
The 153 Ventria's have been integrated in the multifunctional centre’s various glazed roofs. They are to be used for ventilation purposes on a daily basis. This should help render Morocco Mall an attractive centre with a pleasant indoor climate, as well as copious amounts of fresh air and daylight.
Partnership
A close partnership was forged between Brakel, our partner Exuvent, and its client Martifer. During a business trip to Morocco last year, we spoke extensively of the possibilities for a partnership. In addition, Exuvent and Martifer both participated in the Brakel Customer Days, while we are currently examining the possibilities of setting up a partnership in Brazil, too. |
