Prestigious Morocco Mall fire safe

Morocco Mall in Casablanca, which is due for completion very soon, is an ultramodern commercial centre that offers copious daylight ingress, and which is expected to attract some 14 million visitors annually. This prominent project comprises some 70,000 m² of commercial space and a further 30,000 m² intended for recreational purposes. Martifer awarded our partner Exuvent the contract to supply the smoke and heat extraction system for this prestigious centre, to ensure that visitors can at least evacuate the premises safely in the event of fire. This called for the production of custom-made systems…

Large top-hung windows with a big opening angle

The initial projection amounted to 300 top-hung, smoke & heat ventilation windows. However, a closely coordinated approach by Exuvent and Kingspan Light + Air enabled them to reduce this figure to 153 windows in a range of 30 sizes. This was due to the fact that Kingspan Light + Air was able to supply thermally insulated Ventria top-hung windows in large sizes (approx. 1.5 x 3.3 metres) combined with big opening angles (> 61º, which yields optimum Cv values). The glazing weight is 45 kg/m² in this case. Kingspan Light + Air supplied the Ventria top-hung windows with a preassembled, dual compressed air system.


Top-hung windows distributed throughout glazed roofs

The 153 top-hung windows have been integrated in the multifunctional centre’s various glazed roofs. They are to be used for ventilation purposes on a daily basis. This should help render Morocco Mall an attractive centre with a pleasant indoor climate, as well as copious amounts of fresh air and daylight.

Partnership

A close partnership was forged between Kingspan Light + Air, our partner Exuvent, and its client Martifer. During a business trip to Morocco last year, we spoke extensively of the possibilities for a partnership. In addition, Exuvent and Martifer both participated in the Kingspan Light + Air Customer Days, while we are currently examining the possibilities of setting up a partnership in Brazil, too.
