Honeywell at the heart of UK’s tallest public viewing tower
Honeywell Excel 5000 Series controllers and Honeywell
field devices are at the heart of the building
management system in the UK’s tallest public viewing
tower, the 170 metre Spinnaker Tower in Portsmouth. The
design and installation by Smith & Byford were both
problem-free. These achievements were assisted by the
ease with which Smith & Byford – a Honeywell Solutions
Partner based in Cheam, Surrey – was able to design and
input the applications for the Honeywell Excel
controllers, which deliver energy-efficiency, cost
control and comfort.
The systems control the HVAC (heating, ventilation and
air conditioning) in the tower’s two enclosed viewing
platforms and its base building which houses a reception
area, café, shop and offices. Two air handling units
serve the view decks, five serve the base building.
The Building Management System incorporates a UPS
(uninterruptible power supply) to maintain power to the
Excel control system should the mains power fail. The
controls then ensure all priority services are restored
without delay when the tower’s diesel generator is on
line. The BMS includes interlocks with alarm systems,
such as lift failure, intruder detection and fire
alerting, as well as fire extinguishing.
Tower details
The Spinnaker Tower rises from the sea on 84 piles and
comprises two vertical shafts which merge at the top,
and two elegant crossed bows. Aerofoil shaped ribs
between the bows give it the distinctive “Spinnaker”
sail appearance. The structure is topped by a graceful
spire.
The tower was designed by Scott Wilson Ltd and built by
Mowlem plc. The build cost of the project was shared
between three main financial contributors: the
Millennium Commission, Portsmouth City Council and the
Berkeley Festival Waterfront Company Ltd.
