Project Case Study - ExCel London Phase II
Excel London Phase II
Client: London International Exhibition Centre Plc
Client Agent: Gardiner & Theobald LLP
Architect: Grimshaw Architects Ltd
Main Contractor: Sir Robert McAlpine Ltd
Products Supplied and Installed:
Fire Shutter - Fireroll E30 - Half Hour Fire Resisting Roller Shutter
Fire Shutter - Fireroll E60 - One Hour Fire Resisting Roller Shutter
Fire Shutter - Fireroll Acoustic - Acoustic Rated And Fire Resisting Roller Shutter
The Site:
Excel London opened in November 2000 and was the integral component of a huge regeneration project in the area of the Royal Victoria Docks next to the River Thames.
The Phase 2 project had the primary objective of increasing the existing flat floor space by 32,500m2 resulting in an incredible one million square feet of flexible floor space. This projected the already highly regarded Excel London into the position of a world class exhibition and conference venue.
Close to the London City Airport and with it's own dedicated station on the Dockland Light Railway, the centre manages to attract millions of visitors per year and is a major employer within the local community.
The Project:
Having worked with Sir Robert McAlpine on numerous projects, Bolton Gate Company were extremely pleased to be chosen again to work alongside this main contractor, particularly on this prestigious project.
The contract initially involved the supply and installation of a range of 30 and 60 minute fire rated shutters to satisfy the requirement for fire compartmentation between different exhibition spaces and to communal walkways throughout the exhibition centre.
As the fire strategy developed it became evident that, for particular areas including some of the largest openings (7m x 10m), the fire shutters were required to provide fire integrity but this also had to be combined with an acoustic rating of up to 17dB RW.
At the time, acoustic rated fire shutters did not exist on the market as a single product solution and consequently it was typical to supply two separate shutters with one to satisfy each requirement but, given space limitations, this was not a viable option.
The Solution:
Drawing upon years of experience, Bolton Gate Company were committed to developing a workable solution in order to fully satisfy the project requirements.
Moving away from the standard 'single skin' type fire rated rolling shutter, efforts were concentrated on manufacturing a new insulated type of shutter that would be capable of providing the acoustic rating.
The new shutter design was subjected to a series of rigorous testing, including both fire and acoustic tests all of which were in keeping with the very latest standards.
The testing proved to be highly successful and we were pleased to complete our contractual obligations using the very first Fireroll Accousting Shutters.
The fire shutter - Fireroll Acoustic provided a compact, hard waring, yet aesthetically pleasing single shutter solution which was entirely suitable for incorporation into such a highly regarded exhibition and conference centre.

The RRS, Sir David Attenborough, has been designed to assist the British Antarctic Survey in undertaking its logistical support work and increasingly vital research within the polar regions.
Funded by the UK Government and costing £200m the Sir David Attenborough is one of the most technologically advanced research vessels in the world.
This highly prestigious project, built in the UK as Hull Number 1390 by Cammell Laird Shipyard has delivered a boat capable of operating in the most extreme of conditions. Technologically advanced, the vessel includes an array of specialist scientific facilities, equipment and laboratories all designed to facilitate its research crew in conducting studies of the ocean, seafloor, ice and atmosphere as well as providing key support to the BAS teams located onshore.
Bolton Gate Company were extremely proud to be associated with such a momentous project and were particularly pleased to receive the order to supply three specialist Marine Rolling Shutters.
These bespoke heavy-duty shutters of varying sizes up to 6m in width and over 8.5m in height have been installed to the mid-ship scientific hangar area of the vessel. The compact yet resilient design of shutter, capable of operating at extreme temperatures, has resulted in closures with a minimal footprint thereby maintaining space which is at a premium on this research craft.
Amongst many other critical elements, the scientific hangar houses the vessel’s moon-pool which permits a safer deployment of the autonomous underwater vehicles one of which, being the Autosub Long Range (ALR) Class submarine, which carries a name synonymous with this project; that of Boaty McBoatface.
