PROJECT

ANFIELD STADIUM

Client: Anfield Stadium
Product: FM Fire Duct Systems

Sector: Hotel & Leisure
Year: 2016

Project Description

  • Liverpool FC officially opened the stadium’s new Main Stand, in September 2016, increasing the overall capacity to 54,074. The £100m expansion work has added a third tier for supporters, boosting Anfield’s crowd capacity by about 8,500. The expansion work is part of a wider £260m regeneration of the Anfield area of the city.

System Specification

  • 2 hours
  • Kitchen extract

Performance Summary

Within the kitchen zone, the kitchen canopy provides an inlet for the fire – and so there is no way of preventing the fire entering the duct. The Firemac FM120 Fire Duct System is thus designed to ensure the system stays in the air (stability) and encases the fire as it travels past the kitchen compartment walls and/or floors and through the ductwork to the external of the build (integrity).

Testing

The Firemac FM120 Fire Duct System has been successfully tested to provide 120min stability and integrity in accordance with BS 476: Part 24: 1987 (ISO 6944: 1985). All Firemac testing has been done at a UKAS accredited (or equivalent) laboratory, with the involvement of a relevant 3rd party certification body.
