Switching ideas

[rapparee]

I think I am ok.

You're wiring up a few pirs you're hardly wiring up a nuclear reactor.

Couldn't agree more, imagine if someone phoned the station master and said there's a thread running looking for a solution to sort your lighting out lol

Station master??? What is this 1950???

let me be clear. I am not and will never ask anyone on here to spec any job for me. This is just for switching ideas. As I am sure you all really know anyway.

I know. Funny some people.

Few issues here...from 6am to 8pm, there will be thousands of people using this corridor. So pirs are just a waste of money for the last 4 hours of service, until tube goes 24hours. CCTV requires minimal light for security/safety. If I remember correctly, there is a emergency lighting controller monitoring all light fittings, but its now obsolete (old Trident IAS). So problem is you can`t realy turn lighting off. Only suggest already given to LUL, is 50% dimming via pirs, during low passenger levels.

I was under the impression this was an auxillary corridor only used during peak times so it is only operational for a few hours a day.

Peak times on tube are 6am to 8pm, where every possible corridor and exit are open

Especially after the Kings Cross incident

 

[Guest125]

This one in question is open from 06:30-10:00 and 15:00-16:30

In the early 90's I worked on the Fire Detection/Protection Fast Track Project at Knightsbridge and another station and there was a lot high Tech guys involved, Engineers I would imagine.

The panel should test the em lights automatically with a print off, if its still working

This is on the NR side. All by hand around the whole station ........gruelling!!!

That was one hell of a learning curve for LUL...within months they started new procedures and new fire alarm equipment to prevent it ever happening again, and give the best possible early warning

 

[tazz]

New spec should be for updated self testing Advanced Lite panel...same as St pancras and Kings Cross

That started with a smoke dropping in the oil trays under the escalators. Bloke with me only wanted to be a key holder to he could search the trays for money while he was making off piro ends.

And doc ends :?

 

[tazz]

The escalator problem should have been forseen imo.......wooden construction, oil dust, they have been cleaning the tracks every night for years, to prevent dust fires. They fit zoned copper heat trace cables on all escalators pits now, to give that vital early warning.

That my fault I fitted the only station, to have a customised Morley fire alarm panel, with a Baldwin Boxall VA/PA. 1998 i think,
