Heathrow Terminal 5 - UK

Atlantis, the Palm - Dubai

Waste Water Plant - Holland

The T5 terminal at Heathrow airport was a major construction project involving numerous trades and skills and required a great deal of projectmanagement to make sure the total project ran to schedule.In the early part of a project of this size every company is on a learning curve and delays on completion invariably occur. Cooper B-Line rose to this challenge and was able to accommodate the ever changing situation which can occur on a project of this size. Our team at Highbridge have a wide experience in project management including planning,scheduling and logistical support.

Cooper B-Line working in partnership with BAA during the Heathrow Terminal 5 project, supplied over 1350 Access racks along with numerous racks from the IP54 Range for thebaggage area and various locations across the site.

BAA supplied information regarding the power dissipation of the equipment, the ambient temperature of the working environment and any solar gain that could effect the internal temperature of the cabinet. Cooper B-Line used this variable information and calculated the heat dissipation required. The airport opened on time in March 2008 and Cooper B-Line are pleased to say "We helped with the building of T5"

Cooper Controls at Atlantis, the Palm - DubaiThis World famous resort situated on 47 hectares at the crown of the palm-shaped artificialisland Palm Jumeirah, opened on 24th September 2009 followed by a star studded three dayparty and a spectacular firework display that was visible from outer space. The opening festivities were reputed to have cost a World record sum of US$ 20 million.

The complete lighting controls package at the recently opened Atlantis, The Palm in Dubaiwas manufactured, supplied and commissioned by Cooper Controls. This massive US$5 million plus lighting controls contract was project managed for an on time finish by a CooperTeam drawn from both its UK and Dubai offices.

The 1539 guest room hotel uses lighting designs by Craig Roberts Associates, Dallas andFocus Lighting, New York and required the installation of over 10,000 channels of CooperControls’ dimmers with 1,000 control plates. A wide range of light sources are installed including mains tungsten, 0-10Vdc fluorescent, metal halide, multi-colour LEDs, cold cathode and LV electronic transformer fittings, all of which are handled by Cooper’s Adaptive Range of source controllers.

Explosion protection in the Rotterdam waste water treatment plant.The Dokhaven waste water treatment plant (wwtp) is located in the centre of Rotterdam.However, as the “Rioolwaterzuiveringsinrichting Dokhaven“ from Watershap Hollandse Deltais the only underground waste water treatment plant in the Netherlands, it can neither beseen nor smelled by the residents here. 5.500 m³ are treated every hour. The plant has a capacity of 622.058 p.e. (1 p.e. is the average quantity of polluted water per resident per day)and it processes the waste water from nearly half a million households.

As, due to chemical reactions caused by the substances dissolved in the waste water, a potentially explosive atmosphere can occur at any time, explosion protection plays an important part in the field of waste water treatment. The gas detectors used here guaranteesafe operation. Thanks to the explosion-protected eXLink plug-in connections the detectorscan be replaced and serviced at all times. This enables better safety and lower maintenancecosts.

St Pancras - UK

Ciba Plant - Switzerland

Emirates Stadium - UK

Cooper lights the way at revitalised St Pancras Station.Cooper Lighting and Safety has designed, manufactured and supplied over 1600 bespokeluminaires for the platform lighting system at the revitalised St Pancras International Station.London & Continental Railways has spent £800million restoring the original Barlow Shed toits Victorian grandeur and adding a new extension to accommodate the longer Eurostartrains.

As well as providing downlighting to illuminate the platform for passengers, the luminaireswere also designed to include an element of uplighting, which provides some illumination forthe vast arched roof of the Barlow Shed.

In addition to the platform lighting, Cooper also designed and manufactured the vertical LED-based exit signs built into each passenger information point and the horizontal versionssuspended above the concourse at the south end of the station.

Behind the scenes, Cooper supplied some £100,000-worth of standard items from itsCrompton Lighting range for offices and other areas of the station.

MTL and GECMA supply industrial grade security and network integration.The Ciba plant in Schweizerhalle is primarily used for new product development, and iswhere the associated new product processes are also scaled up from laboratory to production level. The manufacturing plants are on-site and are distributed over several floors.In many areas Explorer Panel PCs from Gecma are installed which offer local process supervision. The whole production surroundings are classified as Zone 2 hazardous area.

MTL was asked to supply Industrial Ethernet interfaces and mobile HMI stations to transformsome of the production areas so that mobile process visualisation could be implemented.Central control and monitoring of the emergency lighting system was also simplified by usinga central battery system. Regular testing can be quickly and easily carried out in compliancewith the mandatory regulations.

Cooper emergency lighting system protects football fans at Emirates Stadium.Football supporters visiting Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium are enjoying the protection of astatic-inverter based emergency lighting system supplied by Cooper Lighting and Safety.

With crowd safety the paramount concern in the design of the new stadium, a reliable, high-quality emergency lighting system was essential to ensure that people would be able toleave safely in the event of a mains power failure.

Installed at different locations throughout the stadium, static inverters are connected to hundreds of individual Menvier and JSB emergency luminaires and to any mains luminairesthat have been designated for emergency use.

In addition to the emergency lighting system, Cooper also supplied a wide variety of luminaires from its Crompton Lighting range of mains lighting products, including Solstar fluorescent downlights, Moduseal IP65 and Moduspec modular recessed luminaires, Moduwall asymmetric wall-washer luminaires and Crompack fluorescent battens.

History of Cooper IndustriesCooper Industries’ origins extend back more than 170 years to a small iron foundry inMount Vernon, Ohio, started by brothers Charles and Elias Cooper in 1833. Today, CooperIndustries has become a leading worldwide manufacturer of electrical products and toolsand hardware.

For the first 125 years of its history, Cooper was primarily manufacturing power and compression equipment for the transmission of natural gas. In the 1960’s, Cooper beganto diversify by broadening its product lines and expanding internationally. The productlines now include petroleum and industrial equipment, electrical products, electrical powerequipment, automotive products, tools and hardware.

Cooper’s European presence was developed through the acquisition of market leadingbrands serving the electrical marketplace. Many of these brands have a long-establishedhistory such as the CEAG company which started as a supplier for the coal mining industry in the early 1900’s giving it a long history of superior quality products. Otherrenowned members of Cooper’s portfolio include MTL Instruments, Menvier emergencylighting and fire detection systems and many others.

Today, this extensive network of companies continues to demonstrate strong leadership inproduct innovation, engineering, manufacturing, distribution and technical supportthroughout the world.

Cooper’s geographical expansion carries on with most recently the opening of its firstmanufacturing facility in Saudi Arabia which offers an extensive line of electrical products,components and engineering services for the region’s oil and gas market.
