Published: February 2008
TraceTek systems for detecting water leaks are being installed throughout the Shanghai World Financial Center, one of the world’s tallest buildings. To prevent disruption to business continuity, water-sensing cables are being located in all sensitive areas such as data centres and computer rooms, and close to water services. This building is 492 m tall and has 101 floors above ground level. It has an area of 372 000 m2 and will provide prestige office space for world banks and financial institutions, a 180-room 5-star hotel, shopping mall, international conference facilities and observation deck. Johnson Controls is providing the integrated building-management systems, and part of this responsibility includes water-leak detection. The modular TraceTek sensor cable system provides high-integrity leak detection and precise location, provided by distributed rather than-single-point sensing. The installation is supported by a digital communication network for integrated into the building-management system. Some 4 km of water-sensing cable and 80 electronic control modules are being installed to safeguard data centres, computer rooms, air-conditioning plant, kitchens and a swimming pool.
