Open to the public in 2008, the main building of Heathrow's terminal 5 complex is the largest free-standing structure in the United Kingdom. Terminal 5 is now used as a global gateway exclusively by British Airways. The terminal is designed to ultimately handle up to 35 million passengers a year.

 

Heathrow’s new Terminal 5 building contains the largest fire detection, voice alarm and public address system ever to be installed in the UK. Consisting of in excess of 450 networked panels with 28,000 devices, VGI Security Solutions were assigned to resource the commissioning and cause and effects testing of the fire system.

 

We provided a highly skilled project team of lead engineers, commissioning engineers and systems test engineers to undertake this most complex process.
