Project
The Chapel Wharf development comprises of 995 apartments, arranged over four blocks of up to 22 storeys.

Challenges
There were extended travel distances in the common corridors. In the open plan flats, bedrooms were inner rooms to the lounge/kitchen.

Solutions
Innovation Fire Engineering carried out CFD modelling to justify the extended travel distances within the common corridors through the use of a mechanical smoke control extract system.

The open plan flats were provided with an enhanced early warning system and a sprinkler system.
