Jet Thrust Fans for Bahrain's Financial Harbour
Fläkt Woods has been awarded substantial contract to
supply car park ventilation solutions for the 53 storey
Dual Tower Buildings, located in the heart of Bahrain’s
new $1.3 billion Financial Centre development.
At 260m high, the Dual Towers are set to become the
tallest buildings in the kingdom. The design is based on
sails set at opposing angles. Each building will offer
office and commercial space for the financial sector,
and look out over the Arabian Gulf.
Fläkt Woods expertise has been called upon to supply the
fans for the 3,500 underground parking bays for the
Financial Centre.
Car park
The project is a multi level car park with run and
standby smoke extract fans rated for 300oC and fresh air
inlet fans for Carbon Monoxide (CO) and smoke
ventilation, the fans are on four floors, basement,
ground, first and mezzanine.
Over 100 Jet Thrust Fans are being supplied as well as
truly reversible Jet Thrust Fans incorporating truly
symmetrical (TS) aerofoil blade technology. Additionally
Fläkt Woods is supplying the main extract JM fans with
TS blades.
Automatically controlled and operated damper units that
open as required on the CO/ Smoke ventilation level, are
incorporated within the system, additionally the control
panel is designed for optimum control of the system and
individual fans and dampers.
Fläkt Woods design team carried out a detailed
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) design analysis study
to ensure that effective ventilation of the car parks is
provided; confirming optimum positions and operation of
fans within the car park floors prior to installation.
Using CFD, Fläkt Woods engineers are able to calculate
how the airflow within the car park behaves under normal
running conditions and in the emergency ventilation mode
The Financial Centre Development
Overall the Financial Centre includes the development of
the Dual Towers, Financial Mall and Harbour House that
have a combined total of 105,300 sq m office space,
15,200 sq m of retail, dining and retail space.
Construction of the Financial Centre, which spreads over
28,989 sq m, commenced in March 2004, and is expected to
be completed by the end of 2006. Currently, 2,000
workers and employees are involved in the development of
the Financial Centre on a daily basis.
The Financial Mall is a unique retail environment
catering specifically to the capital and retail
financial markets; while the 10-storey Harbour House
provides a blend of work and leisure space offering
facilities for media-based enterprises and other
financial and investment supporting projects.
David Fell, Flakt Woods’ sales manager for the area said
“Our ability to provide truly reversible fans was
critical for us to be awarded this contract. Unlike
other fans they offer major benefits in complex car
parks, and our unrivalled experience in fan and system
design gives us the distinct competitive advantage”.
