New central London Facebook HQ likes Wieland
Wieland’s Metalynx2 structured wiring system has been installed at Facebook’s new flagship London HQ.
Wieland’s Metalynx2 structured wiring system has been used for the connection of power supply throughout One Rathbone Square, the new London HQ for social media company Facebook.
One Rathbone Square is a 418,698sq ft development that also features 142 apartments and retail space surrounding a new public garden square – the first of its kind to be created in Central London in 100 years.
The new Cat A office space occupied by Facebook has been created using intelligent construction, which also applies to the cabling methodology that has been applied to the building with the use of Wieland’s Metalynx2 structured wiring system to deliver the small power and lighting.
Wieland’s Metalynx2 – based on ‘plug and play’ connectivity – was specified by Chatham-based electrical contractors, Daletech Ltd. The system arrives on site pre-wired and ready for use and has been shown to dramatically reduce installation time by around 70%, making it perfect for fast-track projects.
Metalynx2 uses a minimum number of components, all of which lock together for secure installation and every system component is factory tested in a quality-controlled environment prior to delivery. And with the ability to customise Metalynx2 components for special projects, it offers infinite design flexibility.
The system also incorporates an earth clamp that bonds to the conduit and a patented cable grip to prevent strain being transferred to the contact pins.
The Metalynx2 system also provides future proofing. Its inherent flexibility means that any system changes can be accommodated quickly with minimum downtime for the building owner.
Wieland’s Metalynx2 system can also be re-used, reducing waste during a re-wiring project in both product and packaging. Consequently, structured wiring helps to reduce waste, meet recycling targets and it support the sustainability objectives of designing intelligent buildings.
