The SafetyWay pressure differential system from SMAY in Malta’s tallest building! Mercury Tower by Zaha Hadid Architects is a breathtaking skyscraper standing at 122 meters with 33 floors. This prestigious structure is equipped with state-of-the-art technologies, and we supplied our flagship SafetyWay system there.

Malta’s Tallest Building Equipped with SMAY Pressure Differential System

Mercury Towers is currently the tallest building in Malta, where the comfort and safety of users are ensured by the SafetyWay pressure differential system from SMAY. As one of Zaha Hadid’s latest projects in collaboration with Patrick Schumacher, Mercury Towers resembles a “twisted tower” and boasts over 24,000 square meters of space. The tower is divided into two parts: a hotel and an apartment building, measuring 122 meters in height. High-rise structures require a unique approach to safe ventilation and rapid evacuation from all floors in case of a fire threat. In this case, the SafetyWay system from SMAY proved to be the best and safest choice

SafetyWay from SMAY in Mercury Towers by Zaha Hadid Architects

Mercury Towers in Malta is not only a prestigious structure with a unique design but also a fully secure facility equipped with the most effective ventilation system, guaranteeing quick and safe evacuation during a fire threat. The pressure differential system is the best choice for multi-story buildings, protecting stairwells and evacuation routes from smoke.

iSWAY® Air Units Guarantee Fire Safety in Mercury Towers in Malta

How does it work? The equipment of the pressure differential system with iSWAY® devices allows continuous measurement and monitoring of overpressure in the protected space, with an instant response to pressure changes. iSWAY® air units, which are part of the SafetyWay system from SMAY, ensure the maintenance of smoke-free evacuation routes both when meeting pressure criteria with all doors closed and during evacuation in the event of a fire threat or firefighting and rescue operations when doors are open (according to design assumptions).

SMAY Safety Way System in the Tallest Buildings in Europe

Our overpressure devices fully meet the requirements of the applicable EN 12101-13 standard and are tested for reliability. The SafetyWay pressure differential system ensures fire safety for users of the tallest structures in Europe, and we are proud that Malta’s tallest building, Mercury Towers, has joined this distinguished group.
