Already reaching more than 600 metres into the sky, when completed, the Burj Dubai Tower will be the tallest manmade structure in the world, with 160 floors and a final height that has not yet been revealed. Safety in a building of such size and prestige is hugely important. Prysmian cables are playing their part in ensuring the highest possible level of safety. The Company has been entrusted with the supply and installation of Prysmian FP Plus Flex enhanced fire performance cables in accordance with UK standard requirements of BS5839-1:2002. Prysmian FP Plus Flex cables have been used to power the fire alarm and emergency lighting systems, while Prysmian FP400 cables have been entrusted to power essential circuits and power supplies to the building. The length of cable being installed is over 1,300 times the height of the Tower as it currently stands and it is fitted with in excess of 700,000 fire resistant joint accessories. Prysmian has always been committed to developing products and solutions that meet and go beyond the highest safety standards. The FP product range of fire resistant cables, which has been the market leader in UK for 25 years, is, and will remain, at the forefront of the market worldwide, with its range of both standard and enhanced fire resistant cables and accessories to suit any specific user requirements. The Company is dedicated to developing the next generation of products and systems to follow on from the innovative FP FIREFIX cable installation system, which has already helped to revolutionise the electrical contracting sector. Prysmian has always been a leader in the development of materials and production technologies and is constantly seeking ways to improve product design and performance through a programme of continuous research and development. Prysmian will keep investing in testing - the Company has 7 R&D centres worldwide - to develop new and advanced products, above all in terms of safety.
